Playing Out Clips

If clips are already present on the system as, for example, after a record,

they can be played out without any effort in a freely selectable format.

With the I/O Tool you have two possibilities at hand to play out mate-

rial:

1. You can play out a single clip present in the contents area of the

bin, or

2. you can play out clips present in the timeline of the Edit Tool,

either with or without a simultaneous control of an external

device for an immediate record (via RS-422).

Both procedures are explained in this chapter: First, the settings are ex-

plained that you have to observe when you want to play out with the

I/O Tool. This is followed by a description how to play out a single clip

with the I/O Tool. The chapter will be concluded with a description of

the second mentioned possibility, i.e. of playing out a timeline with or

without an immediate record by an external device via RS-422.

Further information about the Edit Tool and its timeline can be

found in the “CLIPSTER Edit Tool” user guide.

Although the VTR task mode is also able to play-out material,

this will not be explained in this chapter due to the special na-

ture of this mode. For more information about the VTR task

mode see chapter “The VTR Task Mode” on page 7-1.
