You can now proceed to burning the disc.
To select incident(s) to be burned, click Browse Lockers.
Select the incident or incidents to be burned.
To include and exclude specific incident clips from the burn list, select the Subset checkbox.
By default, Synergy orders files to be written by date because a common evidential requirement is for incident clips from the same timestamp or time period from multiple cameras to be supplied to authorities.
Setup: It is possible for Synergy to instead order files sequentially, where all clips relating to an incident from the first relevant camera are burned to disc before all those from the next. There is an optional configuration for sequential file burning. See your Synectics system administrator for details.
To include a camera's range of incident clips on the disc, select its adjacent Include? checkbox.
Once you have selected all of the required incident clips, click OK to return to the previous screen.
Insert the disc to be burned into your machine's optical disc drive.
From the Disk Size drop-down menu, select which disc type you are using; CD or DVD, Dual Layer, Blu-ray, or Dual Layer Blu-ray.
