What is a .CX3 file?
The .CX3 file extension refers to a CMS Recorded Video File. This type of file is a video file created by the Central Manager System (CMS), which is a collection of software tools designed for managing and recording video footage through DVR (Digital Video Recorder) systems. The video is stored in a special, proprietary format known as CX3.
To view or play a .CX3 file, you can use the DVR Player, which is a part of the CMS software package. This player is specifically designed to handle the CX3 format and comes included when you obtain the CMS software.
If you need to use the video in a more common format, the CMS DVR Player provides a feature to convert CX3 files into the .AVI format, which is widely supported by many video players. To do this, open the DVR Player, go to the "Tools" menu, and select "Convert to AVI." The CMS software, including the DVR Player, is provided by IDView. It is typically included with purchases of DVR systems, video surveillance setups, and other monitoring solutions from IDView. Additionally, the software can be downloaded at no cost from the IDView website.
In summary, .CX3 files are video files from DVR systems managed by CMS software, playable via the DVR Player included with the CMS package from IDView, and convertible to .AVI format for broader compatibility.
