also be used to configure a simultaneous output during a record oper-
ation.
Between the different task modes (record, play-out and VTR) of the
I/O Tool different video format settings for in- as well as output can be
set. The individual video format settings are stored by the software and
switched automatically when another task mode is activated.
7.1.4 Exiting a VTR Task Mode Session
To exit a VTR task mode session you simply have to leave this mode:
For example, you may switch to another task mode of the I/O Tool, ac-
tivate the Edit Tool or exit the DVS software as usual. Then the project
file of the respective VTR task mode session is saved automatically and
you can resume your work at any time later again.
In order to resume your work you simply have to switch to the VTR
mode again and, as long as the DVS software has not been exited, you
can continue your work with the VTR task mode immediately, even if
another project file was loaded in the meantime in another software
module of the DVS software, such as the Edit Tool. In all other cases you
can continue your work on the VTR timeline by loading the timeline’s
project file anew when the VTR task mode is activated.
The selected output raster is applied to the video overlay and it
may have an effect on the images displayed there (e.g. they
may get cropped). You can use the video overlay to see the ef-
fects immediately because it shows the exact content of the
outgoing signal.
In the VTR task mode the video raster of the DVI and analog
outputs is linked to the raster set for SDI (tab VTR out), i.e. the
DVI and analog outputs will use the same video raster.
The project file is also saved automatically as soon as you load
another VTR timeline or initialize a new one.
