IN -> OUT Plays out the part of the timeline
only that is selected via a set in-
and outpoint for the timeline in
the Edit Tool. If this entry is select-
ed but no in- and outpoint are set
in the Edit Tool, a play-out of the
complete timeline will be per-
formed.
With the button LOOP activated the play-out is
performed repeatedly: As soon as the timeline’s
end is reached it jumps to its beginning and starts
the play-out again.
For the control of an external device for a simul-
taneous record operation the Insert/Assemble
combo box enables you to either insert or over-
write data on tape machines (e.g. VTRs). While
the assemble mode usually overwrites all data
(video, audio and timecode) on the tape of the
connected external device, in the insert mode you
can select via the play-out type settings the data
that should be sent to the external device (see
section “The Play-Out Type” on page 6-5).
Insert The video, audio and/or LTC time-
code data of the DVS system will
be inserted at the respective posi-
tion of the timeline of the external
device without overwriting other
information not selected via the
play-out type settings.
Assemble The assemble mode usually over-
writes all video, audio and time-
code (LTC as well as VITC)
information on the connected ex-
ternal device.
When performing an insert operation,
the tape of the respective VTR has to
provide timecode information, otherwise
a record will not be possible.
With the Autoedit/Manual combo box you can
specify whether you want to control a device
connected via RS-422 for a simultaneous record
operation:
Autoedit If this is selected from the combo
box, the external device will per-
form a record operation when a
play-out is initiated.
