2.6 Some Notes on the Software Module
The following contains some information that may prove to be useful
for your work with the I/O Tool:
Hard Disk Capacity and Real-time Performance
The DVS system can be delivered with different amounts of hard disk
capacity. To ensure the real-time performance of the main storage (disk
stripe set) it is recommended to leave 15 % of the overall capacity emp-
ty of data. If the amount of data on the storage exceeds this value, you
will be informed about this when the DVS software is started as well as
prior to each record operation. However, a record of material will still
be possible until only 10 % of free disk space is available (absolute nec-
essary safety margin). Then any recording of video or audio data with
the DVS software will be prohibited.
Project Files/Global Settings and the I/O Tool
Project files and the global settings feature of the DVS software can be
used to store valuable information set with the I/O Tool. The following
information will all be saved:
Information Saved in a Project File and by Global Settings
– The selected video format for a record (see section “The Video
Format” on page 5-4) as well as play-out (see section “The Video
Format” on page 6-2).
– The clip name and storage path of a clip for a record operation
(see section “Storage Information” on page 5-9) as well as the
name and path options.
– Among other settings and configurations the default source time-
code set via the Project tab of the Configuration Tool (see
“CLIPSTER Configurations” user guide for more information).
Information Saved in a Project File
The following information will be saved in a project file only:
– The contents of a bin including newly recorded clips and a folder
structure (see section “The Bin” on page 3-3).
– A loaded or composed capture list (see section “The Tab ’Cap-
ture’” on page 5-33).
– A matrix (see section “The Tab ’Matrix’” on page 5-46).
