bin clip Either a clip present in the bin or dragged to the
control area of the DVS software. With the latter
and when in the Edit Tool, the software switches
to the source-edit mode and the bin clip will be
available in the left of the two video overlays.
C-mode Sorting of material according to a source (linear
editing, e.g. when capturing from a tape). With
this an EDL would be sorted by reel names and
source in- and outpoints, for example. See also
A-mode.

audio clip and video clip respectively.
conforming The referencing of events of EDLs or cut lists to
video and audio material.
container format File format that contains audio as well as video
data in a single file only, i.e. the video and audio
files are not stored as single image or audio files
but together in one file (e.g. QuickTime or
MXF).
cut list A list generated by another application which
describes a timeline with clips via timecode/key-
code data of succeeding in- and outpoints. A cut
list may also contain information about the type
of cut (hard cut or transition). Cut lists exist in
various different, not standardized formats. See
also EDL.
cutting/edit point A cut between clips. New cuts can be created
with the button +EDIT of the timeline area.
drop/dropped

Either frames (image files) or audio data that the
DVS system could not load from or write to the
storage in time for the performed real-time op-
eration.
EDL Edit decision list. A list that describes a timeline
with clips together with a series of operators (ef-
fects). EDLs can be created offline and passed to
the online workstation to perform the final con-
forming. See also cut list.

embedded operator An operator such as a transition that is embed-
ded in the timeline and visible as a timeline ele-
ment.
frame-end marker When zoomed far into the timeline, the timeline
cursor will provide a dotted yellow line that in-
dicates where the selected image ends on the
timeline.
