CLIPSTER I/O Tool User Guide
The right position settings specify the settings of the externally con-
nected device. They work exactly as their counterparts on the left but
determine the settings of the player connected via RS-422.
During a record operation, if the EDIT/MANUAL button is set to the au-
toedit mode (see section “Further Items of the Selection Area” on
page 7-28), the external player will be commanded by the I/O Tool.
Then the DVS system will send commands appropriate for a logical
VTR, i.e. it will allow for preroll, edit lag, etc.
Currently the Out and Dur settings of the external device pro-
vide no function and are available for informatory reasons
only.
With the In, Out and Dur items you can control
the position and duration on the VTR timeline
for a record or play-out operation. When two of
the three items are determined, the remaining
item will set itself accordingly.
The radio buttons in front of the items lock the
selected setting. This makes it possible, when
configuring a second field, to let the last remain-
ing item set itself in dependence on the locked
value. Define and lock one of the settings and
specify a second one. After its confirmation the
last remaining field will adjust its setting auto-
matically.
There is also the possibility to deactivate all radio
buttons. For this simply click on the active radio
button to deactivate it. Then the fields can be
set according to a ’three entry’ rule: Once two
items are set, the third and remaining one will
adjust itself automatically.
The buttons IN and OUT of the items enable you
to select an in-/outpoint directly from the cur-
rent position of the VTR timeline cursor. Move
the timeline cursor via the Pos field (see below),
its controls (see section “The VTR Timeline and
Its Controls” on page 7-22) or manually with
the mouse to the position that you want to set.
Then press the respective button and the entry
field to its right as well as the respective handler
on the VTR timeline will take on the selected po-
sition.
