When activated ( ), this button enables
you to preview the behavior of the connected
external player and/or of the VTR timeline.
Once the record operation is started, the VTR
task mode performs all steps according to your
settings, but no actual record operation is per-
formed. Instead, as soon as the inpoint is
reached, the VTR task mode only switches on
the live mode (see section “The Timeline Con-
trols” on page 7-24) and moves the timeline
cursor further. During this time no files are writ-
ten to the storage. With the preview function
you are able to ascertain prior to a record that
everything is in perfect order. To perform the
record operation and actually capture the video
and/or audio data on the storage this button
has to be deactivated.
Once your settings in the VTR task mode are
complete, you can start a record operation of
the I/O Tool with this button. Then the button
changes its appearance to its active state
( ) and in accordance
with the chosen operation mode (button ED-
IT/MANUAL and the state of the button PRE-
VIEW) a record operation is performed at the
specified position of the VTR timeline (inpoint).
If not terminated otherwise the record will be
performed until the set outpoint of the VTR
timeline is reached. To terminate the record
manually you have to click this button again.
