A
preset effect User defined settings of an effects operator.
They are available as ’subeffects’ under the re-
spective effects operator in the tool area. With
them you can apply the same settings of an ef-
fect over and over again in the timeline.
proxy A proxy is a downscaled clip of high-resolution
data that will be internally used by the Edit Tool
as a substitute for its original material to ensure
a real-time environment. By activating or deac-
tivating proxies you decide whether the real-
time capable material is used or the high-resolu-
tion data.
reel In the DVS software reels are used to distinguish
between different sources of video material.
Each specified reel can point to one location,
such as different tapes from a VTR or another
externally connected player/device.
RS-422 Interface for serial data communication. See
also 9-pin protocol and Odetics protocol.
scrub bar A representation of a timeline in software. It
provides a slider or cursor that you can use to
move through the data of the material.
to scrub To shuttle or perform a search run.
source timecode Timecode information stored in the header of a
file (e.g. in *.dpx image files). You can use the
source timecodes, for example, in the timeline
of the Edit Tool instead of the internal relative
timecode provided by the timeline. If a clip does
not contain source timecode information, it can
be virtually provided with one.
tail Material at the end of a clip that is available but
neither used nor visible in a timeline of the DVS
software due to an outpoint adjustment (trim-
ming). See also head.
timeline cursor Position indicator of the timeline.
timeline element Video and audio clips or operators that are visi-
ble in the tracks of the timeline.
transition A transition effect between two video clips.
vertical editing To add timeline elements to other video tracks in
the timeline than the first one. When different
timeline elements occupy the same space at the
same time in the timeline, the contents of a
play-out can be easily changed at that particular
position.
