The Group ’Timecode’
During a record of clips via the I/O Tool, the DVS system will write far
more timecode information into the file headers of *.dpx files than
usually supported by other applications. All timecode information that
can be used by the DVS system and its software can be found under
this group.
If a timecode signal is present at the respective inputs, e.g. via ANC, its
data will be displayed here. Regarding the timecode signals during an
input of video material the DVS system follows the recommendations
made by the SMPTE in its recommended practices, such as RP 188,
RP 196, RP 201, and RP 215.
The timecode that will be recorded as the generic source timecode of
the files can be set either at the input video format settings (see section
“The Video Format” on page 5-4) or via the Configuration Tool (see
the “CLIPSTER Configurations” user guide).
Further Items
To the right of the information area you can find further items that are
mostly concerned with the state of the system and the connected ex-
ternal device. Here you can find the following information:
Further information about source timecode or keycode can be
found in the “CLIPSTER Edit Tool” user guide.
Storage The Storage field provides a bar that tells you
graphically the amount of disk space currently
used. It indicates the disk space of the drive that
is set in the field Volume. While the bar displays
the currently used disk space, the percentage
value indicates the amount of hard disk capacity
that is free on the storage.
Volume With the combo box of the field Volume you
can select mapped drives of your system. The
properties of the selected drive will then be dis-
played in the fields Storage, Free and Used. To
make a storage location available in the list of
the combo box a drive letter has to be assigned
to the respective location (network or local stor-
ages).
The system storage C:\ cannot be se-
lected here because it should not be
used for video/audio data.
