Both procedures are explained in the following.
Recording a Batch from an External Player
When your capture list is complete and fully prepared as described in
section “Preparing a Batch” on page 5-53, you can start a record oper-
ation of your batch from an externally connected player via RS-422:
y In the selection area of the I/O Tool with the Batch mode activated
set the video format settings to the correct video raster and frame
rate (see section “The Video Format” on page 5-4). All other set-
tings possible in the selection area will be determined by the cap-
ture list automatically as soon as it is processed.
y If not already available in the I/O Tool, load the prepared capture
list via the menu option Load Capture-List… from the menu of
the button FILE (see section “The Tab ’Capture’” on page 5-33).
y After this switch to the matrix settings via the tab Matrix in the tool
area of the I/O Tool.
The tool area of the I/O Tool changes its appearance and the matrix ta-
ble is displayed with its current settings. Via the matrix settings you
have to determine the location of the video source.
y Set the settings in the matrix table to the following configuration
for each reel name (entry) available:
Usually, a once processed capture list cannot be processed
again. However, by selecting single rows from the capture list
you can record the selected clips once more. Please note that
previously recorded clips will not be overwritten normally. In-
stead they will be recorded anew and receive another directo-
ry/file name via their self-incrementing consecutive number
(see section “Storage Information” on page 5-9). However,
this behavior can be configured to your liking (see section
“Name Options” on page 5-15).
A capture list together with other settings made in the
I/O Tool can also be saved in a project file (see section
“Project Files/Global Settings and the I/O Tool” on
page 2-11). If appropriate, you have to load this file instead
of the capture list file (Project » Open…).
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 fields in the same column.
