automatically as soon as a new VTR timeline is initialized. Additionally,
a *.vtr file is created. It is a one-time copy of the newly created
project file and available as a fallback solution in case the working copy
(*.cp file) ever gets overwritten or lost.
The file SequenceInfo.xml is used by the DVS software to enable a
recognition of multi-clips with different Files per folder settings, for
example, during a drag-and-drop procedure to the bin. Further infor-
mation about multi-clips can be found in section “The Captured Files”
on page 5-12.
All further directories and files will be created during your work with the
VTR mode, i.e. when performing record operations. Normally, the vid-
eo and audio data belonging to a VTR timeline project will be stored
under the main directory in the following way:
Figure 7-9: Example file and directory structure of captured material
The generated files and directories for the audio and video material are
stored with the prefix vtr_ followed by an automatically created direc-
tory or frame number. The subdirectories under the main project direc-
tory will hold the video and audio material of this project, each
containing the amount of files set with the files per folder items (see
section “General Settings” on page 7-8).
The numbering of the directories and files are added to the prefix au-
tomatically according to the chosen position on the VTR timeline, i.e.
according to the set in- and/or outpoint on the VTR timeline. There-
fore, each frame number of a file is linked and points to a definite po-
sition on the 24-hours timeline. Furthermore, the files carry the file
format/extension (<ext>) that was selected in the appropriate field of
the VTR timeline base settings.
