CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
The SLAVE button activates the slave mode of the
Edit Tool. With the slave mode the DVS system can
be controlled via RS-422 from another workstation,
e.g. a VTR or a digital disk recorder such as the
Pronto3 by DVS. Then it will behave like a VTR by
using preroll, postroll, etc. The specifications of
these parameters can be found in section “Slave
Mode / RS-422 Control” on page A-18. When the
slave mode is activated, the slave mode control
window will be displayed on the screen (see section
“The Slave Mode Control Window” on
page 5-29). To clear the software from the slave
mode, press the button CLOSE of the window
’Slave mode’.
With these buttons you can step one frame for- or
backward in your project. The timeline cursor will
move accordingly. Alternatively, you may use the
keyboard shortcuts [Left Arrow]/[Right Arrow] or
[3]/[4].
With this button you can play-out the timeline
backwards, i.e. it will start a reverse play-out. Once
activated, the button changes its appearance to its
active state. To stop the reverse play-out you have
to click it again. Alternatively, you may use the key-
board shortcut [J] to start a reverse play-out and
[Space]/[K]/[Shift + K] to stop it.
With this button you can start a play-out of the
timeline. After activation the button changes its ap-
pearance to its active state ( ). To
stop the play-out you have to click this button
again. Alternatively, you may use the keyboard
shortcuts [Space]/[5] to start or [Space]/[K]/
[Shift + K] to stop a play-out.
To view your project on an additionally
connected monitor, you have to configure
the output format of the timeline accord-
ingly. The setting of the output format
(video raster) of the project can be config-
ured with the button SETTINGS… at the
top left side of the timeline area (see sec-
tion “How to Configure the Video Out-
put” on page 6-12).
