CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
On the one hand the Pos field indicates the cur-
rent position of the timeline cursor, for example,
during a play-out operation of the Edit Tool’s time-
line. On the other it can be used to move the time-
line cursor by entering a particular position in its
entry field (afterwards press [Enter]).
With this button you can play out the contents of
the timeline in real time. When a play-out is initiat-
ed, it will be displayed in the video overlay of the
control area as well as at the video and/or audio
outputs of the DVS system. After activation the
button changes its appearance to its active state
and you have to press it again to stop the play-out.
With these buttons you can step one video frame
for- or backwards in the timeline. The Pos field will
indicate this accordingly.
With this button activated a play-out of the time-
line will be performed endlessly in a loop: Once the
timeline cursor reaches the outpoint of the time-
line, the play-out will start from the inpoint again.
To switch off the loop mode simply click this button
again.
This button activates the forward-backward play
mode of the timeline. In this mode an endless play-
out of the timeline will be performed once a play-
out is started: When the timeline cursor reaches
the outpoint of the timeline, the play-out will be
reversed and the timeline is played backwards
(speed -1) until the inpoint is reached where the
play-out will be performed forward again. To
switch off the forward-backward play mode you
have to click this button again.
This button deactivates the slave mode and closes
the ’Slave mode’ control window.
