Khronos Player is a useful tool for listening, displaying, controlling and extracting audio/video recorded with Khronos Logger, even on a remote computer on the same network.
It allows you to monitor recordings made in a simple and intuitive way, using the insertion of markings you can extract portions of audio or video.
