These buttons activate the in- and outpoint of
the VTR timeline. To perform a record operation
on the VTR timeline the buttons have to be ac-
tivated.
When the in- and outpoint of the VTR
timeline are activated, the timeline cur-
sor can be moved between the set in-
or outpoint on the VTR timeline only.
To position the in- and/or outpoint you can also
enter a particular position or duration in the en-
try fields to the right directly. More information
about timecode/frame number fields and their
format can be found in the “CLIPSTER Edit
Tool” user guide.
On the one hand the Pos field indicates the cur-
rent position of the VTR timeline cursor, for ex-
ample, during a play-out operation. On the
other it can be used to move the timeline cursor
to a location on the timeline by entering a par-
ticular position in its entry field. More informa-
tion about timecode/frame number fields and
their format can be found in the “CLIPSTER Edit
Tool” user guide.
With the In items at the top right of the selec-
tion area you can set the inpoint on the external
device connected via RS-422 for an autoedit
operation to be performed. They work exactly
like the settings explained above, only that they
determine the position of the external device
such as a VTR or digital disk recorder. For exam-
ple, move the external player via the controls of
the I/O Tool (see chapter “Controlling an Exter-
nal Player” on page 4-1) to the position that
you want to set. Then press the IN button and
the entry field to its right will take on the select-
ed position. These items are not available in the
manual operation mode (see section “Further
Items of the Selection Area” on page 7-28).
