When a record of audio is performed as well, separate audio files will
be generated in the respective subdirectories according to your settings.
They are stored in the same file name pattern as described in section
“Audio” on page 5-14, i.e. with vtr_<Channels>_<7-digit
number.<ext>).
Video Format Settings for In- and Output
During the initialization of a new VTR timeline, the timeline has to be
set to a definite video and audio format which will be used in the future
for a record of video or audio material on this VTR timeline. These are
the base VTR timeline settings and, same as it would be with a standard
VTR or digital disk recorder, all recorded material on the VTR timeline
will be captured and saved on the storage in this format.
Nevertheless, for an output of material from the VTR timeline you may
want to have different video format settings and they can be selected
freely at any time via the button VIDEO FORMAT… available in the se-
lection area of the VTR task mode (tabs VTR out and DVI/Analog, see
section “The Video Format” on page 7-17). The output settings can
Regarding audio files the VTR mode uses sparse files that re-
serve the amount of data which can be recorded with audio in
this subdirectory, even if it has not been recorded already. The
maximum amount of data up to the latest captured audio out-
point will already be available in the audio files.
If a container format has been selected as the file format for
audio/video, the file will be stored in the main directory, i.e. un-
der <Name>, with the name <Name>_0.<ext>.
With the files per folder items set to Unlimited and a VTR
timeline clip consisting of still images, the files will be stored in
a subfolder with the name vtr_0.
Video and audio clips divided in several subdirectories are
called multi-clips. They can be handled by the DVS software as
one clip. Further information about multi-clips in general can
be found in the “CLIPSTER Edit Tool” user guide.
For a record the video input format has to match the incoming
signal, i.e. it must be of the same format and raster as the in-
coming signal.
