General UI Layout

UI layout

iPi Recorder's user interface consists of several views which are used to perform different activities. The most important views include:

• Home. Starting screen which provides access to all functions of the program.
• Setup. Adjust device settings before recording.
• Background. Evaluate background before recording.
• Record. Set recording options and start recording.
• Recording. Displays recording statistics.
• Play. Playback of iPiVideo files.
• Edit. Editing of iPiVideo files and export to AVI format.

You can switch between views by executing specific commands, like opening recent video from the Home view, or using the tabs at the top (2) when there are several related views like Setup, Background and Record. Most of the views allow you to return to the starting screen by pressing the Home button (1) at the top-left.

Below tabs there is a ribbon, or a big toolbar (3) that contains commands and settings relevant to the current view. The ribbon can be collapsed to make more room for view contents.

Many views contain a grid of screens, each displaying data from an individual device. For instance, video frames from a camera or 3D orientation of motion controller. When you hover over a device screen with a mouse, some controls and information specific to this device are displayed in an overlay (4). For example, a button to display this device screen in a full screen mode.
