Playout
These settings only affect the video signal that’s output when you use the Edit to Tape mode of
the Deliver page.
Output: Lets you choose whether to output both Video and Audio, Video Only, or
Audio Only if you’re doing an audio layback.
Output Source Timecode: Turn this checkbox on to output each individual clip’s source
timecode. This option is only applicable when assemble editing to tape.
Output LTC: With a Blackmagic Design DeckLink or UltraStudio device using HD-SDI,
longitudinal timecode (LTC) is available on track 16 of the HD-SDI video signal, making
it easy to use a Mini Converter de-embedder to extract this analog timecode audio
signal and feed it directly to a recording device. This is particularly helpful if you have
outboard video processing equipment such as a noise reducer or format converter that
passes through the VITC timecode.
Delay LTC by x frames: When outputting LTC to bypass outboard processing gear, such
as a noise reducer or format converter, you can compensate for the processing delay
by delaying the timecode by a matter of frames to ensure that the processed image
and timecode reach the deck at the same time. With a DVS card there is a separate
timecode output.
Offset audio by x frames: Lets you specify an offset between the audio track and video
to achieve proper A/V sync in cases where the video is being delayed by outboard
processing hardware.
Output x channels of audio: Choose the number of audio tracks to output to tape.
Set batch playout head handle to x seconds: When batch outputting multiple clips, you
can specify a number of frames before the In point of each clip to be output as well.
Set batch playout tail handle to x seconds: When batch outputting multiple clips, you
can specify a number of frames after the Out point of each clip to be output as well.
Apply gaps between clips: This checkbox lets you add a black gap, of the specified
duration in frames, between every clip in a timeline when outputting in batch mode.
Subtitles
The Subtitles panel lets you adjust presets that govern subtitles being created in subtitle tracks
of the timeline.
Max Character Per Line: Defaults to 60. Lets you choose the maximum number of
characters allowed on one line in a subtitle.
Minimum Caption Duration: Defaults to 3 seconds. Lets you choose the minimum
duration allowed for subtitles in the timeline.
Maximum Characters Per Second: Defaults to 30. Automatically calculates the
maximum allowable characters per second based on a subtitle clip’s duration.
