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
does not pass 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.
Enable audio output: When this checkbox is enabled, DaVinci Resolve will play
allavailable timeline audio along with the video being output, so both can be
recordedtotape.
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 two clips being output when outputting in
batchmode.
Edit to Tape Queue Option
Menu Settings
The following settings and options are available in the Option menu found at the top right-hand
corner of the Edit to Tape Queue.
Show Job Details: Lets you see more information about each job listed in the
RenderQueue.
Clear Recorded: Clears all queue items that have already been output to tape.
Clear All: Clears every queue item.
Sort by Reel & Timecode: Does a multi-criteria sort by reel and timecode, reel first,
then timecode.
Sort by Timecode: Sorts by timecode only.
Output Source Timecode: Sets tape output to write source timecode to tape (each
clip’s individual timecode), rather than record timecode (from the Timeline).
Use Preview for Tape Output: Enables Preview mode when outputting to tape. Preview
mode lets you test how an edit to tape operation will work before actually recording it.
