A
keycode A machine-readable code printed along the
edge of the camera negative film. It provides
data, for example, about the film type, the
name of the manufacturer and the film stock.
Additionally, a reference number for the respec-
tive image is given in order to match the film
with a particular position of an EDL/cut list. Key-
codes can also be stored in file headers if sup-
ported by the file format (see also source
timecode).
multi-clip A clip that is handled as one clip although it con-
sists of several individual clips. Multi-clips are di-
rectories of the file system that contain
subdirectories with frames (image files) and/or
audio files. The subdirectories and files must fol-
low specific guidelines to be recognized by the
DVS software as a multi-clip.
Odetics protocol
(RS-422)
Protocol for serial data communication similar to
the 9-pin protocol but with an extended com-
mand set. See also RS-422 and 9-pin protocol.
DVS supports the major commands of this pro-
tocol in slave mode.
online-conforming Special term indicating the process of using and
referencing to clips that are already present on a
storage via a DVS capture list, EDL or cut list.
outpoint (data list) End of a data list event. Usually, two outpoints
are set in a data list (e.g. EDL or cut list), one for
the source material on a storage and one for the
destination of this material on a timeline.
outpoint (timeline) The end of a timeline. It is either a user-defined
outpoint or the last frame/sample of the time-
line’s content.
reel In the DVS software reels are used to distinguish
between different sources of video material.
Each specified reel can point to one location,
such as different tapes from a VTR or another
externally connected player/device.
RS-422 Interface for serial data communication. See
also 9-pin protocol and Odetics protocol.
RS-422 mode State of the control area of the I/O Tool where
you can control an externally connected player
via RS-422.
scrub bar A representation of a timeline in software. It
provides a slider or cursor that you can use to
move through the data of the material.
