The Timeline Controls
With the controls below the timeline’s representation you can control
the timeline as well as configure its viewing mode. In detail they provide
the following functions:
When the in- and outpoint of the VTR timeline are activated
via the position settings (see section “The Position Settings” on
page 7-25), you can move the timeline cursor between the set
in- or outpoint on the VTR timeline only.
When in- and outpoint are selected for the VTR
timeline, you can zoom into the selected part of
the timeline (timeline between in- and outpoint)
with this button. The selected part of the timeline
will then be displayed on the timeline’s representa-
tion in full. To deactivate the zoomed viewing click
this button again.
This button displays the live signal present at the
input of the DVS system in the video overlay of the
control area. Once activated, the button will alter
its appearance and it will show EE (live mode) in-
stead of PB (playback). With the live mode you
can, for example, ascertain before a record opera-
tion that the external player is showing the proper
video material. To deactivate the live mode and
switch back to the viewing of the contents of the
VTR timeline you have to click this button again.
When a record operation is performed, the live
mode will be switched on automatically.
To switch on the live mode a processing
type has to be selected (see section “The
Processing Type” on page 7-20).
With these buttons you can step one video frame
for- or backward in the VTR timeline. The timeline
cursor will move accordingly.
With this button you can play out the contents of
the VTR timeline in real time. When a play-out is
initiated, it will be displayed in the video overlay of
the control area as well as at the video and/or au-
dio outputs of the DVS system. For this you may
want to configure the output video format as de-
tailed in section “The Video Format” on
page 7-17. After activation the button changes its
appearance to its active state ( ) and
you have to press it again to stop the play-out.
