You can work with the AviExport utility from the command line using the AviExport.run file located in the <Axxon PSIM installation folder>\Modules folder for 32-bit Windows OS or <Axxon PSIM installation folder>\Modules64 for 64-bit Windows OS.

The You can use the following parameters are used when using working with the AviExport utility from the command line:

-format:format – —output container format. This is an optional parameter, the default is avi is by default.

Available values:

• fs – —Axxon PSIM file system;
• avi – —avi container;
• mkv – —mkv container;
• asf – —asf container;
• flv – —flv container;
• mp4– —mp4 container.

-extr:path – —the path to the portable version of the player (Axxon_player_portable.exe for x32 or Axxon_player_portable64.exe for x64), it also includes the . exe file mapping mode. This is an optional parameter. Disabled It is disabled by default.

-period:[start time;end time] – —general export period. Time is set in the YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss format, for instanceexample, 2015-09-29T12:10:50. This is a mandatory parameter if you don't set a period for each camera.

-periods:[start time:end time]—specific export periods. You can set periods in the timestamp (UTC_UNIX) format. This is a mandatory parameter if you don't set a general period. The character ":" is the separator in one period. The character ";" is the separator between periods.
Example of specific periods:
from 2024-01-31T12:00:00.000 to 2024-01-31T12:30:00.000 and from 2024-01-31T13:00:00.000 to 2024-01-31T13:30:00.000 are set this way:
periods:[1706691600000:1706693400000;1706695200000:1706697000000].

If a camera doesn't have its own period, use the -period:[start time;end time] parameter of the general period.
If each camera has its own period, it isn't necessary to use the -period:[start time;end time] parameter of the general period.
If a camera doesn't have its own period and you don't set the general export period, then the export fails.
The example of the command line where the first camera has its own period while the second and the third cameras have one general period:
-period:[2024-01-31T15:00:00.000;2024-01-31T16:00:00.000] 
-src:[127.0.0.1:900;id=1];audio:[auto];vcodec:[fourcc=x264;r=0;k=0;q=0];periods:[1706691600000:1706693400000;1706695200000:1706697000000];titles:[off]
-src:[127.0.0.1:900;id=2];audio:[auto];vcodec:[fourcc=x264;r=0;k=0;q=0];titles:[off]
-src:[127.0.0.1:900;id=3];audio:[auto];vcodec:[fourcc=x264;r=0;k=0;q=0];titles:[off].
-dst:path – —path to the file or folder. If the path ends with the ‘\’ symbolcharacter, then it is identified as a path to the folder, and file names are generated automatically. The path is always identified as the path to the folder when export to exporting to Axxon PSIM file system is performed. If the path does not doesn't exist, then the utility tries to create it automatically. This is a mandatory parameter.

-src:[path to source] – —data source (audio and video) and its parameters. At You must specify at least one ( or more ) data source must be specifiedsources. There are several the following ways to specify a path:

1. [ip - address:port;id=camera ID]. Example Example -src:[127.0.0.1:900;id=5]
2. [ip - address:port;id=camera ID;ipstorage_id=Edge storage ID]. This is for Edge storage archive export. Example Example -src:[127.0.0.1:900;id=500;ipstorage_id=500]
3. ["path to Axxon PSIM archive";id=camera ID]. Example -src:["C:\Path to Axxon PSIM Archive\";id=5]

When the data source is specified, optional parameters can be specified separated with “;”After you specify the data source via the ";" separator, you can add optional parameters:

• vcodec:value – —video codec settings. It is not in use isn't used when packing to the Axxon PSIM file system is performed. Available values:
• vcodec:auto - —bin packing with no conversion (used by default).
• vcodec:axxn – bin —bin packing with no conversion (AXXN codec is specified).
• vcodec:[codec parameters] – for —for example, vcodec:[fourcc=DIVX;r=-1;k=-1:q=6].
• audio:value – audio —audio source settings. Available values:
• audio:auto – audio —audio is exported automatically if it is configured and there is any present in the archive (used by default).
• audio:off – audio is not —audio isn't exported for this camera.
• audio:[path] – specifying path —path to the audio source in the [ip - address:port;id= microphone ID] or ["path to Axxon PSIM archive";id=microphone ID] format.
• titles:[parameters] – titles —titles settings. It is not in use isn't used when packingto the Axxon PSIM file system is performed. Parameters:
• int – titles —titles are exported in the bin body.
• ext - titles —titles are exported to an external .srt file.
  By default, titles are not aren't exported.

-options:[parameters] – extra options during export—additional export parameters. All parameters are optional. It is not in use isn't used when packingto the Axxon PSIM file system is performed.Possible  Possible parameters:

• holesplit=[number] – time —time (in milliseconds) allowed between archive intervals during which intervals are merged in 1 one file. If the time between intervals exceeds the specified onevalue, then there is no mergemerging. Further The following data is recorded to a new file. By default, all intervals are merged. When multiple channels are exported into the .avi file, the parameter is not in useisn't used.
• maxsize=[number] – maximum —maximum size of a file (in MB). If the size is biggerexceeded, then further the following data is recorded to a new file. Maximum The maximum allowed value as well as the default value is 4096.
• duration=[number] – maximum —maximum duration of 1 one file (in seconds). If the duration is longerexceeded, then further the following data is recorded to a new file. By default, there is no duration limit.
