CLIPSTER I/O Tool User Guide
perform a manual crash record with the VTR task mode at any time. For
this do the following:
y Specify the settings necessary for a record operation as detailed in
section “The Settings” on page 7-17. At least the following specifi-
cations have to be made:
– Configure the video format (button VIDEO FORMAT…) accord-
ing to your needs: The input video raster will already be set to
the raster specified during the creation of the VTR project but
other settings can still be adjusted. For a simultaneous output
of the recorded material, for example, to view it on a con-
nected monitor, configure the output settings as well.
– With the button VIDEO and the audio channel buttons below it
set up the processing type, i.e. the data or material that you
want to capture during your operation.
– Via the position settings above the VTR timeline select an in-
and outpoint on the timeline of the VTR task mode.
– Activate the selected in- and outpoint of the VTR timeline with
the respective buttons of the position settings ( ).
y Now select the EDIT/MANUAL button and switch to the manual
operation mode ( ).
y If appropriate, deactivate the PREVIEW button ( ).
y After that press the button RECORD ( ) in the
lower right corner of the selection area to start the record operation.
Then the button changes its appearance to its active state
( ) and the record operation is started in accor-
dance with your settings: The video overlay switches to the live signal
present at the system’s input(s) and the signal will be captured. During
the record the numbers of the Rec field in the control area turn red and
show you the current position of the record. The crash record will be
terminated automatically as soon as the specified outpoint is reached.
The I/O Tool then stops the record procedure and the manual crash
record is finished.
Performing an RS-422 Record (Autoedit Record)
This section describes how to control an external player connected via
RS-422 for a frame accurate record operation.
For this you may also use the possibilities of the VTR
timeline’s representation as well as its controls.
To terminate the record operation manually you have to click
the activated RECORD button again. Then the operation stops
immediately.
