General information

This command starts the replication process.macro starts the replication process—copying blocks of information of a fixed size (video, audio, metadata) from one archive to another within the domain (see Configuring data replication).

Configuring an action

 To configure the macro, do To configure the command, perform the following:

1. Configure on-demand replication (see Configuring data replication) if replication is performed from the archive
(see Configuring data replication)
2. . To replicate from the
on-board storage (SD card or other storage embedded in the video camera)
3. embedded storage of a camera, enable the corresponding object (
The Embedded storage object
4. see Embedded storage).
5. Go to the Programming tab.
6. In the Event rules or Cycle rules list, click Create... (see Configuring macros).
