To Select an Export Destination

You can set up to nine export destinations, each with a different export format. Destination folders should only be located on network drives or high-speed USB drives (USB 2.0/3.0/3.1) mounted on the server.

Important: Do not select an export destination on the system (C:) or media drive (H:) of the server. These drives are reserved for the operating system and media playout and recording. Exporting to either of these drives could cause video errors and system instability.
