Broadcast recording
A broadcast recorder for Windows that captures up to 4 independent channels from SDI cards, NDI® sources and USB/HDMI capture devices. Built for master control, ingest, production companies and TV studios.
Features
Capture, encoding, scheduling and storage under control on a single machine.
Each channel runs its own capture and recording process, watchdog and session: a fault on one channel never stops the others.
Blackmagic DeckLink cards, NDI® sources discovered on your network and DirectShow capture devices or cameras, with automatic device detection.
In automatic mode, each channel shows the format the card detects, such as 1920×1080 · 59.94i, or NO SIGNAL. «Detect signal» suggests the matching mode before you apply it.
Up to 16 embedded audio channels from DeckLink and NDI®: record one pair or all of them, each on its own stereo track, with per-pair meters.
MPEG-2, H.264, HEVC, ProRes and DNxHR in MP4, MOV, MXF, MKV, MPEG-TS and AVI, from SD to 4K UHD, 16 of them for NVIDIA GPUs. Create your own and share them as JSON.
NVENC H.264 and HEVC presets record MP4 without loading the CPU. If a GPU encoder cannot start, that channel moves on to Intel Quick Sync, AMD AMF or the CPU and keeps recording.
If the recording process crashes or hangs, the channel keeps recording in a new file and the event is logged. Every file is checked when it closes.
Remaining recording time on screen, a clean stop before the disk fills up, warning and emergency thresholds, and optional automatic retention.
One-off, daily or weekday recordings, to the second and across midnight, with N-minute file segmentation and daylight-saving changes handled.
When you stop a manual recording you can name the file, also through the API. Scheduled recordings are saved with the date and the job title.
Alerts for black or frozen picture, silence, dropped frames and a low or unresponsive disk, plus optional color bars so a recording continues through a signal loss.
Who started each recording, how (manual, scheduled or API), why it ended, what failed and who changed the schedule, with filters and CSV export.
Record, stop with a file name, schedule jobs and query status, preview, storage and events. On the same machine only or, if you enable it, from your network.
Interface, installer and user manual in both languages. Switch instantly, without stopping recordings.
A full 14-day trial and a perpetual per-PC license, activated without internet or a license server.
Presets
Pick a professional format across three panes — family, preset and details — and apply it to the channel. Each preset shows its full configuration: container, codec, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, GOP, pixel format, audio and tracks.
Duplicate a factory preset to customize it, star your favorites and share configurations between machines by importing and exporting JSON. Each channel shows the preset it records with.
Scheduling
Schedule one-off, daily or weekday recordings with start and end times to the second. The Today view shows at a glance what is scheduled, in progress or already recorded.
Split scheduled recordings into N-minute files: if one is damaged, you keep the rest. If the machine restarts during the slot, recording resumes in a new file.
Recordings
Browse the history by date and channel with duration, size and operator, and open the folder of any recording.
Mark important material as Protected or Important and automatic retention will never delete it.
Audit
The activity log explains in plain words who recorded, how each recording started, why it ended and which disk or signal warnings occurred, classified by level.
Filter by period, channel, type or level and export to CSV for your reports.
Web panel
The web panel shows each channel with its live preview, current preset, timer, bitrate and audio, and lets you record, stop and name the file.
It also manages the schedule, recordings and their protection, the activity log and storage, in Spanish or English and with a light or dark theme. To use it from another computer on your network, enable it in Settings.
Interface
Real screenshots of Baioss Record in English.
Language, network access for the web panel and API, and destination folder and test pattern per channel.
Retention by age or free space, plus warning, critical and emergency thresholds.

FAQ
SDI signals through Blackmagic DeckLink cards, NDI® sources on your network and DirectShow devices such as USB/HDMI capture devices and cameras. Each channel has its own input, and the same card or camera cannot be assigned to two channels at once.
Yes, with DeckLink cards and NDI® sources: up to 16 embedded audio channels. In Inputs you choose one pair or all of them; each pair is recorded on its own stereo track or, with a multichannel preset, on a single PCM track in MXF, MKV, AVI or WAV. With DeckLink, «Measure audio» shows which pairs carry sound.
From 1 to 4 independent channels on the same machine. The number is chosen during installation and is capped by the channels included in your license.
Baioss Record shows the alarm on screen. If you enable the test pattern on that channel, recording continues with SMPTE bars and silence until the signal returns: immediately with NDI® and, with SDI or USB, as soon as the capture process stalls. If the loss persists, the alarm becomes critical.
Each channel’s watchdog detects it and continues recording in a new file, and the event is written to the activity log. Every file is also checked when it closes, and an alarm is raised if it is not playable.
No. The application works offline, recordings stay on your machine and the license is activated with a machine code, without a license server.
A PC running Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. FFmpeg (ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe) is not included in the installer and must be added separately; DeckLink cards also need the Desktop Video drivers and an FFmpeg build with DeckLink support. We recommend a dedicated recording disk; a GPU is optional and the NVENC presets need an NVIDIA one.
Yes, 14 days with every feature. When it ends you can still monitor your inputs and recordings in progress are never interrupted; only starting new recordings is blocked until you activate a license.
Yes, through a REST API and a WebSocket event feed: start and stop recordings (with a file name), manage the schedule and query each channel’s status and preview, storage, recording history and the event log. By default it only answers on the same machine; in Settings you can open it to your network, with the port and allowed origins you choose. Only do so on a trusted network.
Yes, with the web panel: you see each channel with its preview, record and stop with a file name, manage the schedule and check recordings, activity and storage. To use it from another computer, allow network connections in Settings → Web panel and API; only do so on a trusted network.
