Figure 6-5: Slave mode control
When the I/O Tool is in its Play-out task mode
with the slave mode activated, you can send a
play command to the DVS system via RS-422.
Then the I/O Tool will initiate a play-out opera-
tion of the timeline of the Edit Tool, i.e. it will be-
have like a VTR by using preroll, postroll, etc.
The specifications of these parameters can be
found in the “CLIPSTER Edit Tool” user guide.
The control window for the slave mode is in de-
tail described in the “CLIPSTER Edit Tool” user
guide. An example how to use this mode is giv-
en in section “How to Perform a Slave Mode
Play-Out” on page 6-15.
To the right of the items to specify the play-out
type you can find some information about the
project currently available and loaded in the
DVS software.
Name Shows the name of the project file
if one has been already assigned
to it by saving the project.
Duration Displays the total duration of the
clips present in the timeline of the
Edit Tool.
Autoscale Shows whether the autoscale
function is activated in the video
output settings (see section “The
Video Format” on page 6-2).
