Recording From the Deck to a Clip
Before using the SGI Media Server to record video from a deck you must do the
folowing:
• Connect the output of the deck to the input of the video card on the server.
• Connect the audio output of the deck to the audio inputs of the server.
To record from the deck to a clip, follow these steps:
1. Use the Media Control Panel to do the following:
■ Create a new clip. (See “Creating a New Clip” on page 150 for information
about how to create a new clip.)
■ Change the cue in point, if needed.
Note: The cue in point in the control panel is the point in the clip to which you
want the material captured.
■ If the Deck Control window is not displayed, choose
View > Deck Control Panel in the menu bar of the control panel.
2. Use the Deck Control window to do the following:
■ Review the clip’s edit points and change them if needed.
Note: The edit points in the Deck Control window identify the portion of the
tape that you wish to capture and the duration of the capture.
■ To see what would be recorded without actually recording into the clip, click
the Review button.
■ To perform the edit, click the Capture button.
