# Replay

**Misc/Replay**

The **Replay Operator** works similar to a video recorder, and can be used for video replays. Playback speed can be adjusted from 0% (freeze frame) to 100%. Video frames are stored in RAM and a maximum of 300 frames can be recorded.

The Replay Operator can be controlled using the [Script Engine](/v1/docs/scriptengine) and [Connectors](/v1/docs/connectors).

For recording of video and audio to disk, the [File Target](/v1/docs/file-target) component is a more suitable solution.

- **Configuration**
  - **Start recording on startup** - this option will automatically start recording as soon as the project starts.
  - **Start recording after playback** - this option will automatically start a new recording immediately after playback has been completed.
  - **Image quality** - use this option to configure the video quality of the recording. The default value is 80. A lower setting will reduce memory consumption but may introduce image artefacts. A high value will improve image quality, but memory consumption will be higher.
  - Default output - this setting affects how the operator works when playback is stopped. The default option is **Pass-through**, which means that the operator won’t affect the video. The second option is **None**, which will render a black output.
- **Frame Storage**
  - **Max number of frames** - this setting controls the maximum number of frames that can be recorded. The default setting is 100.
- **Playback Options**
  - **Playback speed** - sets the playback speed in percentage of the original frame rate.
  - **Start frame** - sets the starting frame for playback. The default value is 1.
  - **Stop frame** - sets the stop frame during playback.
- **Last/Current playback**
  - **Playback frame** - current playback frame.
  - **Playback start** - actual time of the frame that will be used at the start of playback.
  - **Playback time** (buffer) - relative time of the frame being played back.
  - **Playback time** (actual) - actual time of the frame being played back.
- **Commands**
  - **Operator state** - current state of the operator
  - **Start Recording** - start a new recording
  - **Starty Playback** - start playback of the latest recording
  - **Stop** - stop recording or playback
  - **Reset** - resets the operator to its default values.
- **Performance and properties**
  - **Frames in buffer** - the total number of recorded video frames -
  - **Frame buffer full** - checked if the video buffer has been filled with video frames.
  - **Frame buffer duration** - actual video buffer length (time)
  - **Frame buffer memory usage (MB)** - frame buffer memory usage in megabytes.
- **About -**Information about the operator.
