Welcome < Tools < Recorder Clocks
The Recorder Clocks Tool is similar to the Clocks module in the adding and removing of events into the clock. The Record Clock contains "templates" used by the system to create Recorder Logs. A clock schedule is created for each day of the week for each Background recorder, and contains recurring events. The Recorder Clocks and Recorder Logs are only visible after a Background Recorder station has been created in Configuration menu and the Background Recorder service has been started in the Startup Manager.

There are literally thousands of different clock formats that can be created, all depending on the type of programming the background recorders are running. In their most basic format, Recorder Clocks contain Record Control Events for recording Network feeds for play at an alternative time slots. They may also contain source changes, macro events or any of the other log Control Events available. See the Clocks Module and Control Events topics for more information on adding events to the Recorder Clocks. See the Background Recording Features section for more information on Recording a Network Show. To add color to the Recorder Clocks see the Themes & Appearances section of the guide.
