User Interface
General notes about the user interface
Main user interface (recording)
The main user interface is the record screen,
which includes displays with relevant in-
formation for the current input and output
settings, project, scene and take names,
timecode display, and access to all commonly
used tools.
Touching information displays will take the
user to the relevant setup menu. ie touching
the timecode display invokes the timecode
setup menu. This is typical for most status
and information displays.
During record, there is a bright red border
around the preview image.
Buttons that are inaccessible such as [play]
and [setup] disappear.
Certain dynamic information displays that are
only relevant during record appear, such as
data rate and system resource usage, buffer
status, and disk wait time display.
This border will begin to flash bright yellow
when there is approximately 10GB of space
remaining on the media.
When there is less than 2GB of remaining
space, recording will stop automatically.
The user interface has been designed with use in high pressure situations in mind, where a minimum of
interaction is desirable to operate the Cinedeck and in normal operation, every tool commonly needed
is readily at hand.
Most commonly used tools are accessible within one touch from the main screen. The touchscreen is
the main control surface for the interface, but there are also physical buttons for commonly used func-
tions while in full screen preview mode.
Active (on) buttons are indicated by [text] and inactive buttons are indicated by {text}
