CLIPSTER I/O Tool User Guide
Free This field provides two entries, both concerned
with the amount of free hard disk space avail-
able on the drive selected with the field Vol-
ume. The upper shows you the free disk space
in gigabytes, while the lower provides the same
information in timecode or frames notation,
thereby showing how much time is left for a
record. The latter may change in dependence on
the set input video format (button VIDEO FOR-
MAT… of the selection area, see section “The
Video Format” on page 5-4). The two values
will be shown with the 10 % safety margin ab-
solutely necessary to ensure real-time perfor-
mance already deducted (see section “Hard
Disk Capacity and Real-time Performance” on
page 2-11).
Used The Used field displays the amount of disk
space that is currently used in gigabytes. It will
show the disk space of the drive selected via the
field Volume.
Rec/Play/Stop Depending on the task that is currently per-
formed this field can be labeled Rec, Play or
Stop.
During a record of video material, this field
shows Rec and its numbers (either in timecode
or in frames notation) are colored in red to indi-
cate that a capture process is currently in
progress. Under the record task modes this field
will then show you the amount of recorded ma-
terial (see chapter “Capturing Clips” on
page 5-1). If no capturing is under way, it dis-
plays the amount of recorded material that was
processed in the last record operation. With the
VTR task mode activated, the field will show
you the current position of the VTR timeline cur-
sor (see chapter “The VTR Task Mode” on
page 7-1).
When a timeline play-out is performed, this field
will be labeled Play indicating the position of
the play-out on a timeline of the DVS software
in timecode or frames notation (either timeline
of the Edit Tool or VTR task mode timeline, see
chapter “Playing Out Clips” on page 6-1 and
chapter “The VTR Task Mode” on page 7-1).
