CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
LUT (look-up table) In general, a table used to transform data. With
the DVS software a LUT is used to map indexed
colors of video images to a specified set of out-
put values.
multi-clip A clip that is handled as one clip although it con-
sists of several individual clips. Multi-clips are di-
rectories of the file system that contain
subdirectories with frames (image files) and/or
audio files. The subdirectories and files must fol-
low specific guidelines to be recognized by the
DVS software as a multi-clip.
Odetics protocol
(RS-422)
Protocol for serial data communication similar to
the 9-pin protocol but with an extended com-
mand set. See also RS-422 and 9-pin protocol.
DVS supports the major commands of this pro-
tocol in slave mode.
online-conforming Special term indicating the process of using and
referencing to clips that are already present on a
storage via an EDL or cut list.
operator An editing effect that can be applied to video
clips either as an embedded operator or as an
operator set via the clip’s timeline element prop-
erties.
outpoint (clip) End of a clip. For video material either the last
file on the storage or a last frame virtually set
(trimmed) in the DVS software. For audio mate-
rial either the last sample of a file or a virtually
set (trimmed) outpoint in the DVS software.
outpoint (data list) End of a data list event. Usually, two outpoints
are set in a data list (e.g. EDL or cut list), one for
the source material on a storage and one for the
destination of this material on a timeline.
outpoint (timeline) The end of a timeline. It is either a user-defined
outpoint or the last frame/sample of the time-
line’s content.
overwrite mode Timeline mode during your work with timeline
elements. When deleting or moving clips in the
timeline gaps may appear, and by adding or
moving timeline elements the contents of the
timeline may be overwritten.
prerendering The calculation and rendering of timeline ele-
ments prior to a play-out because they exceed
the real-time capability of the DVS system.
