format, select from the Type combo box the desired additional saving
type.
With the help of the entry field Reel you can determine a reel name
(tape name) for the video material to be recorded. Its entry will be writ-
ten into the file headers of *.dpx image files. To provide recorded im-
ages with a reel name in their file headers may be especially useful
during an online-conforming, where you can compare this entry with
reel names stated, for example, in an EDL.
The way a color space conversion and scaling has to be performed can
be set with the combo box Range. It specifies whether the color space
range of the recorded video files will be in a restricted (head) or in a full
value range (full).
Audio File Settings
To the right of the settings for the storage format of the VTR timeline
you can find the audio file settings that configure the way the I/O Tool
will input and store audio. If your VTR project has to deal with audio as
well, alter the settings of the area Audio file settings according to
your needs:

A list of the respective saving types per file format as well as
the color space that the clip will be stored in can be found in
section “Storage Modes of File Formats” on page A-12.
Some file formats (e.g. *.dpx or *.mov) are capable of stor-
ing timecode information in their file headers (source time-
code). The type of timecode that will be used as the default
source timecode can be set with the Configuration Tool (see
“CLIPSTER Configurations” user guide).
Further information about color space ranges and color space
conversions can be found in the “CLIPSTER Configurations”
user guide.
Further information about audio and the way it is handled in
the I/O Tool can be found in section “Audio in the I/O Tool”
on page 2-9.
