A: The SGI Media Server Control GUIs

Any changes you make to the edit points or cue points are temporary. The changes cease

to exist after the clip is unloaded unless you do one of the following:

• To make changes to the edit points permanent (that is, stored persistently with the

clip), click the Save Marks button after you make the changes.

• To make changes to the cue points permanent, copy them to the edit points and then

click the Save Marks button. The next time the clip is loaded, the newly saved edit

points are copied to the cue points.

Note: Only the last set of edit points are saved. That is, when you save the edit points,

they replace the edit points that are currently stored with the clip.

Controlling a Video Deck

This section describes how to use the Deck Control window to control a video deck that

is attached to the SGI Media Server. (For information on attaching a video deck to the

SGI Media Server, see Chapter 7, “Conﬁguring and Using External Devices.”)

Note: To use the Deck Control window, you must specify a deck control port in addition

to a video port when starting the Media Control Panel. (See “Starting the Media Control

Panel” on page 135 for details.)

The following topics are discussed in this section:

• “Accessing the Deck Control Window” on page 153

• “Using the Deck Control Window” on page 154

• “Recording From the Deck to a Clip” on page 157
