CLIPSTER I/O Tool User Guide
The I/O Tool accepts the following formats for the different entries:
Batch Data Entry Formats
clip name All valid file names are excepted, i.e. do not use
special characters. To generate a black clip (e.g.
for another clip to dissolve to black) the clip
name should be BLACK.
channels Valid entries are:
V video
A1 audio channel 1
A2 audio channel 2
The channels must be separated by a comma.
Stereo channels can be connected by a +.
Example: V,A1,A2,A3+A4
source inpoint
source outpoint
duration
destination inpoint
destination outpoint
Standard timecode format. During an online-
conforming with source timecode/keycode, the
source timecodes/keycodes of the files will be
searched for the source in- and outpoints. The
destination in- and outpoints determine the fi-
nal position of the clips on a built-up timeline.
More information about the timecode format
can be found in the “CLIPSTER Edit Tool” user
guide.
tape name (reel) The tape name can be a string or a number. It is
not limited to a certain amount of characters.
Only by some EDL standards the reel name is re-
stricted. In the I/O Tool it is used to differ be-
tween the source mainly.
path The path must be a valid directory path on the
DVS system. Instead of a backslash (\) you may
also use a slash (/).
file format All supported file formats of the DVS software
are valid. For a list of the supported file formats
see the “CLIPSTER Edit Tool” user guide. The
numbers separated by commas from the file for-
mat designate the respective saving type of the
file format and the color space range. The sav-
ing types available for the respective file format
can be taken from section “Storage Modes of
File Formats” on page A-12 (column ’Number’).
The color space range can be either 0 for the re-
stricted value range (head) or 1 for the full val-
ue range (full).
Example: TIFF,26,1
