Capturing Clips

5.5.5 Further Settings
When the Batch record mode is activated, the selection area to the right
of the task mode buttons changes its appearance. Then you can see the
settings items that are provided for this mode.
The following figure shows the selection area with the Batch record
mode activated:
TC Offset When Disk Online or VTR-Project is selected as a
source and the Source TC setting is set to Frame Num-
ber or File Number, you can specify a timecode off-
set in this field for each tape (reel) individually (negative
as well as positive). The timecode offset is calculated
from the in-/outpoints stated in the capture list, mean-
ing if your clip on the storage starts, for example, with
frame number 0 but your capture list uses inpoints for
this tape that start by 1 hour, you can adjust the time-
codes of the list with this setting and reduce them to the
frame numbers available on the storage (in this case set
the timecode offset to -01:00:00:00 for File Num-
ber and +01:00:00:00 for Frame Number). Then
you can access material on the storage even if the frame
numbers of the file names do not match the timecodes
set in the capture list for this specific reel.
More information about timecode/frame number fields
and their format can be found in the “CLIPSTER Edit
Tool” user guide.
When Source TC is set to Frame Number, a
timecode offset will be evaluated only during
the build-up of a timeline in the Edit Tool.
Project
name
This field will be available when VTR is selected as a
source. With it you can provide a project name for the
clips to be recorded. Its entry will be written into the file
headers of *.dpx image files.
Slate
information
This field does the same as the field Project name only
that it offers you the possibility to state slate informa-
tion.
On most of the settings fields you can call up a context menu
which provides the menu option Set all. This will transfer the
respective setting where the context menu has been invoked
to all other matrix settings (rows) available in the table.
For more information about source timecode or keycode
please refer to the “CLIPSTER Configurations” and the “CLIP-
STER Edit Tool” user guide.
