The Timeline

Once everything is set as desired, confirm your selection with the

OK button at the bottom of the ’Timeline cropping’ window. The

button CANCEL will close the window for the cropping settings without

confirming any of the alterations.

However, the cropping will be in effect for the timeline only if the check

box Video-Cropping in the Options area of the ’Timeline output

settings’ window is activated.

Then the configured cropping will be applied to the whole timeline of

the Edit Tool.

6.2.10 Burn-in Information at the Output(s)

CLIPSTER offers you the possibility to display static (e.g. comments) as

well as variable information (e.g. timecode, frame or keycode informa-

tion) at some SDI outputs. These information will then be shown in su-

perimposed boxes (windows) that can be positioned freely in the

output image.

Via the S

ETTINGS… button you can access the items to

configure the burn-in information. It is located at the

top left side of the timeline area. After pressing this button the ’Time-

line output settings’ window is displayed.

The color value of the black bars added to the timeline via

cropping and played out via the DVS system depends on the

setting for the color space range specified in the video output

settings. Via the color space range settings you determine

whether this value is given out in a restricted (e.g. with a value

of 16, setting: Head) or in a full value range (with a value of 0,

setting: Full). Further information about color space ranges

and how to set them can be found in the “CLIPSTER Configu-

rations” user guide.

For information about the output ports where the burn-in in-

formation will be displayed, please refer to the “CLIPSTER”

hardware guide.
