Race Media
Video and Voice Capture
5KClock can record either voice notes or race video. The selected capture mode controls the media button shown on the clock screens.
Capture Modes
| Mode | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Voice Note | Records audio-only notes and attaches them to the current session. |
| Video Camera | Records race video with camera audio and shows a live preview next to the clock. |
Video Overlay
Recorded video includes a running clock overlay near the top center of the frame.
The overlay uses white text and a white circular outline so the athlete remains visible behind the timing mark.
Permissions
The app asks iOS for access the first time these features are used.
| Permission | Used For |
|---|---|
| Microphone | Voice notes and video audio. |
| Camera | Race video recording and live preview. |
If camera or microphone access has already been denied, iOS will not show the original prompt again. The app should direct the user to the app's Settings screen instead.
Saving Recordings
Recordings are saved with the session when Save/Finish is used.
Video and audio files are copied into the selected session folder and appear in the Sessions tab.
