Replay Control

Complete command over iRacing’s replay system. Playback transport, progressive speed control, and session / lap / incident / car navigation are all available as selectable modes on a single action. Every mode uses the iRacing SDK replay and camera commands — no keyboard bindings.

Fast Forward, Rewind, Slow Motion, Slow Motion Rewind, Frame Forward, Frame Backward, Increase Speed, and Decrease Speed support long-press: hold the button to repeat the command automatically after an initial 500 ms delay, then every 250 ms.

A press or a dial input made while the replay is still jumping, such as a marker jump, a Jump to Fastest Lap or a fast Frame Jog spin, acts when the jump lands, from the frame the jump was going to: Frame Forward and Frame Backward move one frame from it, and Pause leaves the replay paused there. Jump to Beginning and Jump to Live do not wait; they go at once and win. A press made while a Next / Previous Lap, Session or Incident search is still running waits for the search to land, and pressing again acts at once, from where the replay stands, ending a search that is still running. On a paused replay, a search that finds nothing holds a single press until it could no longer be running, so pressing again is the quick way out there too. If a jump does not land on its frame, the press that waited for it does nothing. A speed press that waits shows on the keys as the speed it is waiting to set, and one that is not done never shows. A camera key — Jump to My Car, Next Car, Previous Car and the two Number Order modes — pressed while a jump is landing switches the camera once the jump has landed, because iRacing ignores a camera change during a jump, and it does not stop the jump; a further camera press meanwhile, on any key or dial, Camera Controls’ included, replaces it, so the camera moves once, and a Jump to Fastest Lap or Jump to Race Start pressed meanwhile drops it. While Jump to Fastest Lap or Jump to Race Start is searching the replay, a camera key stops the search instead, and the replay goes back to where it was before the camera switches. Quick inputs ride on iRacing’s own replay seeking, so they take longer on a slower PC or in a long replay.

On a Stream Deck+ dial or a Mirabox knob, Replay Control becomes a replay dial: turn it to change the replay speed or to step through the replay frame by frame, and press it to play or pause — see On a dial.

What a pressed key shows

The key you pressed shows what became of the press until the replay has caught up. The title and border stay as they are, and the mark takes the place of the artwork:

A ring of dots going round: the replay is on its way for this key. Next and Previous Lap, Session and Incident, Jump to Beginning, Jump to Live, Jump to Fastest Lap and Jump to Race Start show it from the moment you press until the jump or search lands. Most land at once, so the dots only flash; a long search, or a jump far across a long replay, keeps them turning until the replay arrives.
Three still dots: the press is waiting for another jump or search to land, and acts when it does. Behind a search, press the key again to act at once.
A red cross, for a second: the press was not done. The search found nothing, the jump did not land where it was going, or another Jump to Fastest Lap or Jump to Race Start was still running.

Only the key you pressed shows it. On a dial, the marks appear at the left end of the dial screen’s bottom line after a press or a touch gesture: the turning dots only for Jump to Live and Jump to Race Start, and the still dots or the red cross for any of them. A search’s count on that line, such as +3, stays beside the marks, while the speed shown there gives way to them. Turning the dial in Lap, Session or Incident shows them too, the turning dots while the jump or search the turn started is on its way; turning it to change the speed, to step frames or in Track Order, Cars by Number or Cars by Position shows none.

Next Session

Jump to the start of the next session in the replay, such as from qualifying to the race.

While a session runs live, iRaceDeck records the frame at which each session starts, in the same per-session replay record that Jump to Fastest Lap uses, whether you are in the car or watching from the garage. With that record the press is a single jump to just inside the next session, in the in-session replay and in a saved replay opened later alike, and the replay then does what Replay jump playback in the Settings window says, exactly as for Jump to Fastest Lap. Without a record — iRaceDeck was not running when the session started, the replay file is someone else’s, or the replay was recorded before iRaceDeck 3.6, or the record is missing the session in between — the key uses iRacing’s own session search, as it always has.

Next Lap

Jump forward one lap of the car the camera is on, to a second before it takes the line.

While the plugin runs during a live session it records the frame at which every car starts every lap, the record Jump to Fastest Lap uses. With it the press is a single jump to the next lap start, in the in-session replay and in a saved replay opened later (which lands about a second earlier), and the replay then does what Replay jump playback in the Settings window says, exactly as for Jump to Fastest Lap. Laps are recorded only while you are in the car, so the record can have gaps. Wherever it cannot vouch for the very next lap — a replay recorded without iRaceDeck, laps run while you sat in the garage or after you left the car, a car with nothing recorded, or the step from one session’s last lap into the next session — the key uses iRacing’s own lap search, as it always has. A second press while the jump is still on its way steps on from where the replay is going, so two quick presses go two laps.

Next Incident

Since iRaceDeck 3.6 the plugin also records each incident while a session runs live: your own whenever you are in the car, and other cars’ where iRacing shows their incident counts, which an official race does only once it is over. The key does not use that record to choose where to go yet. With Enable debug logging on (the Settings window’s Diagnostics tab), each press logs where iRacing’s search landed and the nearest recorded incident, or why the two could not be compared (the search did not land, another command interrupted it, or nothing is recorded). A later version will rest on those comparisons before it switches over.

Jump to Fastest Lap

Jump the replay cursor to a driver’s fastest lap in the current replay session. The default target is Viewed Car so the same button can be reused — focus the camera on a competitor and press, focus on yourself and press, etc. Switch the target to Always my car to make the button always navigate to your own fastest lap regardless of which car the camera is currently watching.

“Fastest” means the best lap time iRacing reports for that car. The lookup prefers the session’s authoritative ResultsPositions table (available immediately when a replay is loaded, so the button works without first scrubbing through the replay) and falls back to live CarIdxBestLapNum for an in-progress session that hasn’t published positions yet. There is no clean-lap filter — iRacing telemetry doesn’t expose per-lap incident status, so a lap with a slide or off counts the same as a clean one. The search is also session-scoped: it jumps within whichever practice / qualifying / race session the replay cursor is currently in (matched by SessionNum) and does not cross session boundaries.

If the target car hasn’t completed a lap yet, the press is a no-op (nothing moves, no error). If the camera target can’t be resolved (e.g., transitioning between cars), the press is also a no-op.

The replay lands just before the car takes the line, so you see the crossing into the timed lap. What it does from there is set by Replay jump playback in the Settings window, on the Delays tab. With the default, Remember state, it carries on exactly as it was before the press: a paused replay stays paused just before the line, and a replay that was playing, in slow motion, fast-forwarding or rewinding continues at the same speed from there. Play always plays the lap at 1x — pick it if you want every press to start the lap — and Stopped always pauses just before the line. The Play / Pause key shows whichever state the jump left the replay in.

How it gets there depends on whether iRaceDeck saw the lap happen. While the plugin runs during a live session it records the frame at which every car starts every lap into the session’s replay record, so a press in the in-session replay — or in the saved replay opened days later — is a single jump straight to the recorded frame. iRacing covers a long jump in steps, so the button pauses the replay first if it was moving, waits until the replay has arrived, and only then switches the camera and leaves the replay as Replay jump playback says. It waits for as long as iRacing is still getting there, so a jump across hours of recording still lands. It gives up only when the replay has stopped short of the lap and stayed there for three seconds (or four times the Fastest Lap Search Delay below, if that is longer), and then leaves the replay paused where it stopped, whatever the setting says, rather than playing from the wrong spot. Without a record (the plugin wasn’t running, someone else’s replay, an offline session’s replay opened later) the button searches the replay instead: it pauses, maps the sessions in the recording, bisects within the current one (≈ log₂ N jumps), steps lap by lap to the line and finds the frame the car crosses it, then lands a second before that, where a jump to a recorded lap lands, and applies the setting the same way. Each search is followed by a settle gap before the next command, tunable in the Settings window on the Delays tab as Fastest Lap Search Delay (default 400 ms, range 50–1000 ms in 50 ms steps); slower computers and longer tracks may need a longer gap. The search remembers the frame it found, so the next press for that lap is a single jump. A car is not on the track for the whole recording: it joins late, retires, or sits in the garage between runs. Where the search looks and finds the car gone it learns nothing, so it looks elsewhere in the session until it finds the car. Each jump, and each step from one session of the recording to the next, is waited for in proportion to its length, so one across hours of recording is not given up on while iRacing is still getting there. iRacing moves through a recording at about half an hour of it per second, and a search crosses the session about once. In a six-hour session that makes a search some fifteen seconds, about twenty-five when a session that long has to be crossed first to reach the one you are in, and up to a minute before it gives up on a car it cannot find. The key shows the busy mark while it works (see What a pressed key shows); pressing any other replay key stops it, except a key that switches the camera, which acts as described below. If the search cannot find the lap, it puts the replay back as it was: on the frame and at the speed it had when you pressed, with the camera on the car you were watching. Pressing any other Replay Control key, or a Replay Markers jump, while the jump or the search is still running stops it. A key that switches the camera to another car, on Replay Control, Camera Controls or the Car Selector, stops only the search: the replay goes back as it was when you pressed, on the same frame, at the same speed and with the camera on the car you were watching, and then the key switches the camera. During the jump to a recorded lap, or the search’s last jump to the lap it found, a camera key waits for the jump to land and switches then. Leaving the replay stops the search too, at the latest once the step under way has had its time to land. Any other key’s command then goes out once the replay has landed from the step under way, so it acts from the frame the replay reached: a speed or a pause is yours, and the setting is not applied on top of it, while a Next or Previous Lap, Session or Incident press moves on from there and is then followed by the setting, as when the two are pressed slowly.

The lap record lives in the same per-app file as Replay Markers, so a record made while one deck app was running is used only by that app; another deck app has no record of that session and falls back to searching the replay.

Setting: Target

Which driver’s fastest lap the button jumps to. Defaults to Viewed Car.

Viewed Car — the car the replay camera is currently focused on
Always my car — your own car, regardless of where the camera is pointed (the camera also moves onto your car so the lap you jump to is what you actually see)

Jump to Race Start

Jump a race replay to five seconds before the green flag of the race start. On a standing start that shows the grid under the lights; on a rolling start, the field coming to the line. The camera is not changed, so you keep watching the car you chose.

What the replay does once it has arrived is set by Replay jump playback in the Settings window, on the Delays tab, exactly as for Jump to Fastest Lap. With the default, Remember state, it carries on as it was before the press: a paused replay stays paused five seconds before the green, and a replay that was playing continues at the same speed from there. Play always plays the start at 1x, and Stopped always pauses there.

While a session runs live, iRaceDeck records the frame at which the race goes green, in the same per-session replay record that Jump to Fastest Lap uses. With that record the press is a single jump, in the in-session replay and in a saved replay opened later alike. A saved replay lands about a second earlier, so roughly six seconds before the green. An offline session (an AI race or a test drive) keeps its record in memory only, for as long as the sim session lasts. Like the lap record, it is kept per deck app, so another deck app has no record of that session and uses the fallback below.

Without a record — iRaceDeck was not running at the green, the replay file is someone else’s, or the replay was recorded before iRaceDeck 3.6 — the press falls back to an approximation: five seconds before the pole car starts lap 1. When the lap record has that lap, which replays recorded by iRaceDeck 3.4 and 3.5 do, it is still a single jump. Otherwise the button searches the replay for it. That is the same search Jump to Fastest Lap falls back to, paced by the Fastest Lap Search Delay on the Delays tab of the Settings window. The search briefly switches the camera to the pole car, and puts it back on the car you were watching once the replay has arrived. If the search cannot find that lap, it puts the replay back as it was, on the frame and at the speed it had when you pressed, with the camera back on your car. When the replay has no qualifying grid, or the pole sitter took no part in that race, the car the camera is on stands in for the pole car.

The fallback lands close because the pole car takes the line first: its lap 1 starts a second or two after the green at most, and the five-second lead-in absorbs that. When the lap has to be searched for, the search finds the frame the pole car takes the line, so the replay lands five seconds before that, as it does from the lap record, and the next press is a single jump. Only when iRacing’s own lap search stops more than two seconds short of the line does the button fall back to five seconds before where that search stopped, which lands correspondingly earlier, and only when the pole car was by then at least 90 % of the way round the lap before lap 1; otherwise the replay goes back to where it was when you pressed, with the camera on the car you were watching. Two cases are known to miss. A pole sitter who started from the pit lane crosses the line late, so the replay lands after the green. On a track whose standing-start grid sits well behind the timing line, it lands correspondingly early.

In a replay with several sessions the button goes to the race. When the replay cursor is in a race session it uses that one, so inside a heat it goes to that heat’s green. From practice, qualifying or a warmup it goes to the last race in the replay. If that race has not been run yet, as in the replay of a live event that is still in qualifying, the press looks through the recording, finds no race, and puts the replay back as it was: on the same frame, at the speed it had.

The key turns grey only when the replay holds no race session at all, such as a practice-only or test-drive replay: grey colours and faded artwork, the same look Replay Markers keys have when a press would do nothing. A missing record does not grey the key, because the fallback can still land. From the car, with no replay open, a press does nothing, like every other Replay Control jump, and the key does not turn grey.

A second press while a jump or a search is still running is ignored. Pressing any other Replay Control key, or a Replay Markers jump, stops it, and a key’s command goes out once the replay has landed from the step under way; a search stopped this way leaves the camera on the pole car. A key that switches the camera to another car, on Replay Control, Camera Controls or the Car Selector, stops only the search: the replay goes back as it was when you pressed, on the same frame, at the same speed and with the camera back on the car you were watching, and then the key switches the camera. During the jump to the start itself, a camera key waits for the jump to land and switches then. Leaving the replay stops the search too, at the latest once the step under way has had its time to land.

On a dial

Placed on a Stream Deck+ dial or a Mirabox knob, Replay Control becomes a replay dial. The dial’s own Mode setting picks what turning does — Speed Control steps the replay speed along a ladder of speeds you choose, from fast rewind through pause to fast forward; Frame Jog steps the replay one frame at a time; Lap, Session and Incident step through the replay’s laps, sessions and incidents; Track Order moves the camera from car to car along the track; and Cars by Number and Cars by Position move it from car to car by car number or by race position — and the press and touch gestures are chosen from Play / Pause, Set 1x and Play, Reverse Direction, Jump to Live, Jump to Race Start and Jump to My Car, each the same whatever the Mode, or the Mode default, which follows the Mode. Everything the dial sends is an iRacing replay or camera command, so it needs no key binding, except in Track Order, which uses iRacing’s Next Car / Previous Car binding. The Property Inspector automatically shows the dial settings below (instead of the keypad Mode and its settings) when the instance sits on a dial. See Dials for how the shared dial gestures work.

The dial works in the replay only. iRacing accepts replay commands only when you are out of the car, so from the car a turn or a press sends nothing and the display is dimmed — open the replay first. Every command the dial sends — a new speed, a pause, a frame step, a jump to live — also stops a running Jump to Fastest Lap search, so your command stands. A turn or press that sends nothing leaves the search running: a turn past an end of the speed ladder, and Reverse Direction while the replay is paused.

Dial: In Speed Control, rotating steps the replay speed along the chosen ladder, one stop per detent — clockwise toward fast forward, counter-clockwise toward fast rewind — with no cap on a fast spin, stopping at the ends of the ladder.

In Lap, Session and Incident, each detent is one lap of the car the camera is on, one session or one incident, clockwise forward. In Track Order, each turn moves the camera one car, clockwise to the car ahead. In Cars by Number and Cars by Position, each detent moves the camera one car by car number or by race position, clockwise to the lower number. All of them work in the replay only

Controls

Elgato Stream Deck+ — dial rotation, a press (short or long), and a touchscreen that shows the replay speed or the replay time, depending on the Mode. Pushing and turning at the same time acts like a plain turn, and the release then fires nothing. A touchscreen tap or long tap runs its own configured Tap Display / Long Touch action.
Mirabox knob — turn and push, with the same display drawn on the screen above the knob; the Push slot only, and every action can be put on it, so to reverse the replay from a knob set Press Action to Reverse Direction (see Dials).

Setting: Mode

What turning the dial does. Defaults to Speed Control. The press and touch settings further down belong to the dial rather than to a mode, so changing the Mode never changes what a press does, except one set to Mode default.

Speed Control (default) — steps the replay speed along your speed ladder — see Speed Control
Frame Jog — steps the replay one frame per detent — see Frame Jog
Lap — steps the laps of the car the camera is on — see Lap and Session
Session — steps the sessions of the replay — see Lap and Session
Incident — steps iRacing’s incidents — see Incident
Track Order — moves the camera to the car ahead or behind on track — see Track Order
Cars by Number — moves the camera to the car with the next lower or higher car number — see Cars by Number and Cars by Position
Cars by Position — moves the camera to the car one place ahead or behind in the race order — see Cars by Number and Cars by Position

Speed Control

Each detent moves the replay one stop along a speed ladder that runs from the fastest rewind speed, through pause, to the fastest forward speed. With the default Speeds the ladder is:

−8x   −4x   −2x   −1x   −1/2x   −1/4x   PAUSED   1/4x   1/2x   1x   2x   4x   8x

Clockwise always moves toward fast forward, and counter-clockwise toward fast rewind. From −8x a clockwise detent goes to −4x: slower in reverse, and one stop closer to forward.
A fast spin walks as many stops as the dial reports detents, with no limit. However fast you spin, the replay gets a single speed change, to the last stop reached.
The ladder stops at its ends. It never wraps around from the fastest forward speed to the fastest rewind, so a turn past either end does nothing.
Pause is a stop like any other. Turning out of pause starts the replay at the stop next to it — 1/4x or −1/4x on the default ladder — and not at the speed it was playing before. A Play / Pause press is the way back to that speed.
A speed that is not on your ladder — one set from a key, or from iRacing’s own replay bar — is picked up where it is: the first detent goes to the nearest stop beyond it in the direction you turn (from 3x, clockwise is 4x and counter-clockwise is 2x), and further detents carry on from there.

The dial always starts from the speed the replay is actually playing at, so it stays in step with the Replay Control keys and with iRacing’s replay bar.

Setting: Speeds (Speed Control)

Which speeds are stops on the ladder, shown only while the Mode is Speed Control. It is a checkbox grid of every speed iRacing supports, 31 in all, in two groups: Slow Motion, 1/16x … 1/2x, and Normal and Fast, 1x … 16x. Ticked by default: 1/4x, 1/2x, 1x, 2x, 4x and 8x.

A speed is ticked once and counts in both directions: ticking 16x adds 16x and −16x, so the forward and rewind halves of the ladder always match. Pause is always on the ladder and has no checkbox, and the last ticked box cannot be cleared.

Frame Jog

Each detent moves the replay one frame: clockwise to the next frame, counter-clockwise to the previous one. It is the mode for finding the exact frame of a contact.

Turn slowly for exact steps. One detent at a time is one frame, every time.
A fast spin gets you close. iRaceDeck adds up the detents and sends the replay to that frame. While you keep spinning, the picture catches up a few times a second and the dial shows the time you are heading for; the replay lands a moment after you stop.
The jog always lands on a still frame. If the replay is playing when you turn, the first detent pauses it and then steps.
A Play / Pause press carries on from there. It resumes at the speed the replay was playing before the jog paused it, and Play / Pause is what Press Action is set to by default.

Frame Jog has no settings of its own: the Speeds grid belongs to Speed Control and is hidden in this mode.

Lap and Session

Each detent moves the replay one lap of the car the camera is on, or one session: clockwise forward, counter-clockwise back. The replay lands a second before the car takes the line, or just inside the session, exactly as the Next Lap and Next Session keys do.

From iRaceDeck’s record, a whole turn is one jump. Where iRaceDeck recorded the laps or the sessions while the session ran live (see Next Lap), a spin of five detents is a single jump five laps on, however fast you spin, and the replay then does what Replay jump playback in the Settings window says. A turn while that jump is still landing steps on from where it is going.
Without a record, the dial steps through iRacing’s own search. iRacing’s lap and session searches cannot be sent one straight after another, so the dial sends one at a time and waits for each to land. The touch strip counts the steps still to go (+3, -2), a turn the other way takes steps off and can reverse, and a spin queues at most ten steps. On a replay playing at normal speed or slower, the first step goes out while the replay plays on, so a single step needs no pause; otherwise, and from the second step on, the replay is paused while the dial steps. Once the last step lands it does what Replay jump playback says.
The record and the search join up. Where the record runs out part-way through a turn, the dial jumps as far as the record reaches, and the next detent carries on with the search.
The touch strip counts laps as 12/25: the lap of the car the camera is on, over the laps in the session. For a race run over a set number of laps that is the race distance; in practice, qualifying or a timed race it is the laps that car completed in the session, from the session’s results, else from iRaceDeck’s record. Lap shows it as the value and Session beneath the session name — see Touch strip.

Incident

Each detent is one step of iRacing’s own incident search, paced the same way as a lap or session search without a record. iRaceDeck records incidents too, but the dial does not use that record yet.

Track Order

Each turn moves the camera one car: clockwise to the car ahead on track, counter-clockwise to the car behind. It presses iRacing’s Next Car / Previous Car key binding (V / Shift+V by default, set on the Key Bindings tab of the Settings window), the same binding Camera Controls’ dial uses, so one turn is one car however fast you spin. Turned while a replay jump is still landing, the camera moves once the jump has landed, because iRacing ignores a camera change during a jump; a further turn in that time replaces the first, so the camera still moves by one car. Track Order is the one mode that needs a key binding: the Property Inspector shows the binding while the Mode is Track Order, and the touch strip shows a warning while it is unset.

The touch strip shows the number of the car the camera is on, with the numbers of the cars on track behind it (left) and ahead of it (right) smaller and dimmed on either side. The neighbours show only where iRacing reports the cars’ positions for the moment on screen: in a saved replay, and at the live point of the replay of the session you are in. Scrubbed back in that replay, iRacing reports where the cars are live rather than where they were, so there the car number shows alone. The neighbours are a preview: iRacing’s binding picks the car a turn goes to, and it can stop where the strip does not point, such as on the pace car. By default a Long Press in Track Order jumps the camera back to your own car — see Press Action / Long Press.

Cars by Number and Cars by Position

Each detent moves the camera one car, as the Cycle by Car # and Cycle by Race Position modes of the Camera Controls dial do. Cars by Number steps through the cars by car number: every car the session has had, the pace car and spectators aside, including cars that have finished and left. Cars by Position steps through the race order; from a car with no position, such as the pace car, a turn goes to one end of the order. Both wrap around at each end, and both switch the camera with an iRacing camera command, so they need no key binding.

Clockwise makes the number go down, as on the Camera Controls dial: from #94 to #77 in Cars by Number, and from P4 to P3, the car ahead, in Cars by Position. Counter-clockwise goes the other way.
Cars by Position follows the replay’s own race order where iRacing reports it for the moment on screen: in a saved replay, and at the live point of the replay of the session you are in. Scrubbed back in that replay, iRacing reports the live order rather than the order at that moment, so the touch strip shows P-- and a turn does nothing, rather than put the camera on a car the replay does not show in that place. Cars by Number works anywhere in the replay.
Turned while a replay jump is still landing, such as a marker jump, the camera switches once the jump has landed, because iRacing ignores a camera change during a jump. A further turn in that time replaces the first, so the camera moves once, to the car next to the one on screen when it switches.
Turned while Jump to Fastest Lap or Jump to Race Start is searching the replay, a turn stops the search, the replay goes back to where it was before the search, and then the camera switches. A Lap, Session or Incident search still running carries on, and the camera switches at once.

The touch strip shows the car the camera is on — its number, #12, in Cars by Number, or its race position, P4, with its car number beneath, in Cars by Position — and on either side, smaller and dimmed, the car or position a turn that way goes to. As in Track Order, a Long Press by default jumps the camera back to your own car — see Press Action / Long Press.

Fast turns ride on iRacing’s replay seeking: they are less exact than slow ones, and they vary with your PC and the length of the replay. Two limits come from stepping through iRacing’s own search:

A turn past the end — no further lap, session or incident that way — does nothing on a replay playing at normal speed or slower. On a paused replay, or after the first step of a spin, the dial waits a few seconds before it gives up, and leaves the replay paused a frame or two from where it was.
A step to something far away, more than about an hour and a half of recording, is given up the same way, unless it is the first step of a turn made while the replay plays at normal speed or slower. The Next Session and Next Incident keys reach it in every case, and a Lap or Session turn from iRaceDeck’s record is one jump however far.

Touch strip

The touch strip (and the screen above a Mirabox knob) shows a “dash box” for the selected Mode:

Mode	Label	Value	Caption	Arrows
Speed Control	`SPEED`	The live replay speed — `4x`, `-1/4x`, or `PAUSED`	While paused, the speed a Play / Pause press will resume — `► 4x` forward, `◄ 2x` in reverse	Each side lights up while a turn that way would change the speed, and stays dimmed at that end of the ladder
Frame Jog	`FRAME`	The session time of the frame on screen, as minutes, seconds and hundredths — `12:34.56` — or, while a turn is still landing, of the frame it is heading for. A frame is 1/60 of a second, so every step changes the hundredths	`PAUSED`, or the speed the replay is playing at — `4x`, `-1/4x`	Both sides are lit: a turn either way steps a frame
Lap	`LAP`	The lap of the car the camera is on, from iRaceDeck’s record, over the laps in the session — `12/25`. Where the record has no lap for that car the lap comes from iRacing’s own lap count in a saved replay and at the live point of the session’s replay, and reads `--` (`--/25`) only when scrubbed back in a replay watched during a live session; with no lap count there is no second number (`12`, or `--`)	The replay time, `m:ss`; while the dial steps through iRacing’s search, the steps still to go — `+3`, `-2`	A side is dimmed only when the record has laps and none lies that way
Session	`SESSION`	The session on screen — `RACE`, `QUALIFY`	The lap of the car the camera is on over the laps in that session, as Lap’s value — `12/25`; while the dial steps through iRacing’s search, the steps still to go	As for Lap, with sessions
Incident	`INCIDENT`	The replay time, `m:ss`	None; while the dial steps through iRacing’s search, the steps still to go	Both sides are lit
Track Order	`TRK ORD`	The car the camera is on — `#12` — with the cars on track behind (left) and ahead (right) dimmed on either side — `#7` and `#31` — in a saved replay or at the live point of the session’s replay; elsewhere the number alone	None	Both sides are lit; a warning shows while the Next Car / Previous Car binding is unset
Cars by Number	`CAR #`	The car the camera is on — `#12` — with the car numbers a turn each way goes to dimmed on either side	None	Both sides are lit
Cars by Position	`POS`	The race position of the car the camera is on — `P4` — with the positions a turn each way goes to dimmed on either side — `P3` and `P5` — in a saved replay or at the live point of the session’s replay; elsewhere `P--`, with no neighbours	The car number of the car the camera is on — `#12`	Each side is lit while a turn that way has a car to go to; both are dark at `P--`

From the car, or while iRacing is not running, the box is dimmed and shows only its label. You can override the border, label, value, and background colors in the Dash Box Appearance section of the dial settings.

Setting: Press Action / Long Press

What a short or long press of the dial button does, chosen from the list below. Every choice but Mode default does the same in every Mode.

Mode default (default for Long Press) — follows the Mode: Jump to My Car in Track Order, Cars by Number and Cars by Position, where the turns move the camera from car to car, and Set 1x and Play in every other Mode.
Play / Pause (default for Press Action) — pauses a playing replay, and resumes a paused one at the last speed it actually played at, in the same direction — whoever set that speed: the dial, a Replay Control key, or iRacing’s own replay bar. The speed is picked up while a Replay Control dial or key is on the page you have open, so one set while neither was showing is not remembered. Until the replay has played at some speed, it resumes at 1x. In Speed Control the display’s caption shows that speed while the replay is paused.
Set 1x and Play — plays forward at normal speed, whatever the replay was doing: the quick way out of a rewind, slow motion or pause.
Reverse Direction — flips the direction and keeps the speed: 4x becomes −4x, and 1/2x becomes −1/2x. While paused it flips the speed that Play / Pause will resume instead, and the replay stays paused — in Speed Control the caption changes direction at once.
Jump to Live — jumps to the live point in the session, exactly like the Jump to Live key.
Jump to Race Start — jumps to five seconds before the race start, exactly like the Jump to Race Start key, record, fallback and all. On a Mirabox knob, set Press Action to it to have the jump a race review starts from on the knob itself.
Jump to My Car — switches the camera to your own car, as the Jump to My Car key does. Like a turn in Track Order, Cars by Number or Cars by Position, it leaves a dial’s Lap, Session or Incident steps running, and while a replay jump is landing it switches once the jump has landed.
None — does nothing.

A press is classified when you release the dial — a hold past the Long-press threshold fires the Long Press action. Hold past the threshold and the strip previews what letting go will do: ► 1x for Set 1x and Play; PAUSE, or the speed it will resume (such as ► 4x), for Play / Pause; the reversed speed (such as ◄ 4x) for Reverse Direction; LIVE for Jump to Live; START for Jump to Race Start; and MY CAR for Jump to My Car. Mode default previews what it runs in the current Mode. From the car, where the release would do nothing, the strip stays as it is, and so it does for Jump to Race Start in a replay with no race session and for Jump to My Car when there is no car of yours to switch to. See Seeing the outcome before you let go. Long Press is Stream Deck+ only.

The remembered speed belongs to the dial: the Replay Control keys behave as before.

Setting: Tap Display / Long Touch

Optional touch-strip gestures (Stream Deck+ only), each over the same set { Mode default, Play / Pause, Set 1x and Play, Reverse Direction, Jump to Live, Jump to Race Start, Jump to My Car, None }. Both default to None for VR safety.
