the I/O Tool. Minor adjustments for a record of video, i.e. to the input
settings, can be performed here as well.
In the VTR task mode you can use for an output the standard output
ports of the DVS system. While the SDI output ports are configured
with the tab VTR out, the DVI and analog outputs can be configured
via the tab DVI/Analog. However, the raster settings of the DVI and
analog outputs are linked to the video format of the SDI and cannot be
set otherwise. Once confirmed, the video format settings will be auto-
matically applied to the output ports of the DVS system.
After clicking on the button VIDEO FORMAT… the following window
will be displayed on the screen:
The input video format was determined during the initialization
of the VTR timeline (see section “Creating a New VTR Time-
line” on page 7-3). Only some settings (e.g. the input port or
the synchronization settings) can be changed afterwards.
The different task modes of the DVS software are capable of
handling different video format settings. The settings are
stored for each task mode individually by the DVS software
and they will be switched automatically as soon as another task
mode is activated.
The selected SDI 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 effects immediately because it shows the exact content of
the outgoing signal.
