Types of formats for exports

Use the XProtect format to include the XProtect Smart Client – Player along with the export. The XProtect Smart Client – Player is the only media player that can play this format. To verify that the exported evidence has not been tampered with, select Export settings > XProtect format > Include digital signature. This setting enables the Verify signatures button in the XProtect Smart Client – Player.

Use a format that does not require you to know how to use XProtect, and that most media players can play. You only need to have a media player installed to play this format.

There are two ways to export in media player format:

• Individual files: Exports a file for each video sequence you have added to the export list. See also Media player format settings—individual files.

• Combined file: Exports a single file that contains all the video sequences you have added to the export list. There are two layout types of combined file. See also Media player format settings—combined file.
