mat for SDI the video overlay of the I/O Tool may change its aspect ra-
tio (16:9, 4:3, et al.). The SD outputs can be configured via the
Configuration Tool (see “CLIPSTER Configurations” user guide for
more information).
6.1.2 The Play-Out Type
With the settings of the play-out type you have to select the type of
material that you want to play out. You can choose whether you want
to play-out audio, video or timecode, as well as all their combinations.
Figure 6-3: Buttons to set the play-out type
With the button TIMECODE you can determine that timecode informa-
tion should be sent to the connected external device (LTC only). It will
be especially useful when inserting data on tapes of a tape machine via
the insert mode of the Play-out task mode (see section “The Timeline
Rasters for film not included in the SDI standard (i.e. 2K with
20 Hz or more) are output via the analog and DVI outputs only.
The description of the window to configure the video format is
not part of this user guide. It is in detail described in the “CLIP-
STER Configurations” user guide.
These settings are necessary only when you want to play out
the timeline of the Edit Tool.
The play-out type settings for audio and video should be pre-
configured to the state of the timeline tracks in the Edit Tool,
i.e. whether clips are present in the tracks, and the output set-
tings of the respective audio tracks.
During a play-out with the DVS system audio will be given out
via AES/EBU and embedded in the video signal simultaneously.
However, via the video format settings you can determine the
number of channels that will be embedded in the video signal
(see section “The Video Format” on page 6-2).
It is not possible to give out timecode alone. At least one of the
other play-out types has to be selected as well to output time-
code.
