The Gang Timecode to Tape option
Insert/Assemble Drop-down Menu
A drop-down menu under the In and Out buttons lets you choose how to edit the selected part
of the Timeline to tape. There are two options:
 Insert: Performs an insert edit to tape, in which selected tape tracks are seamlessly
and frame-accurately overwritten without interrupting the timecode or control track.
You must be outputting to either a blacked tape, or a prerecorded tape to make an
insertedit.
 Assemble: Performs an assemble edit, in which every track of tape is overwritten,
including the video, audio, timecode, and control tracks.
 Crash: (Only appears if “Output Source Timecode” has been enabled in the Playout
section of the Capture and Playback panel of the Project Settings) Similar to an
assemble edit, except there is no pre-roll period to let the VTR get up to speed.
Acrash edit also overwrites every track of the tape, including the video, audio,
timecode, and control tracks, and may result in a more visible jump at the resulting
edit point. However, in some instances crash edits may be the only option for a
particularoperation.
NOTE: When DaVinci Resolve is performing a Batch Output operation, you can only
output clips using assemble editing or crash recording.
Start Record Button
Once you’ve set In and Out points to define how much of the tape to record to, the Start Record
button initiates device-controlled tape output.
