The Media Contro Panel
007-4403-003 137
The Media Control Panel, shown in Figure A-1, is displayed in its own window. This
control panel represents a unit, or logical VTR, that is used to play and record clips. The
buttons in the control panel are similar in function to those of a standard VTR. For
example, there are buttons to load a clip, play it, and pause.
