Recording From a Clip to the Deck
Before using the SGI Media Server to lay back video to a deck you must do the following:
• Connect the input of the deck to the output of the video card on the server.
• Connect the audio input of the deck to the audio outputs of the server.
To record from a clip to the deck, follow these steps:
1. Use the Media Control Panel to do the following:
■ Load the clip from which you want to record.
■ Change the cue in point, if needed.
Note: The cue in point in the control panel is the point in the clip from which
you want to record.
■ 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 edit points and change them if needed.
Note: The edit points in the Deck Control window identify the portion of the
tape to which you want to record and the duration of the recording.
■ To see what would be recorded without actually recording onto the tape, click
the Rehearse button.
■ To record from the clip to the deck, click the Lay Down button.
