In case you want to process video, you have to activate the button
VIDEO ( ). You can find this button directly below
the button to display the audio format.
Figure 7-13: Buttons to set the processing type
To set the VTR task mode to a record or play-out of audio you have to
use the channel buttons below the button VIDEO.
The channel buttons represent the 16 audio channels provided by the
DVS system. If (like in the screenshot above) channels 1 and 2 are se-
lected, the I/O Tool will either record the audio signals that are present
at these channels or play out the audio of these channels at the respec-
tive output connectors.
You can also select/deselect all channels in a single step via the context
menu of the audio channel buttons:
Figure 7-14: Selecting/deselecting channels
Whether audio is recorded as mono or stereo channels was de-
termined during the creation of the VTR timeline (see section
“Audio File Settings” on page 7-10).
To record either video or audio a correct signal has to be con-
nected to the inputs of the DVS hardware. Otherwise an error
message will be displayed. Furthermore, for the capturing of
audio alone a video signal of the appropriate input format has
to be present at the system’s input(s).
