Capturing Clips

A
Between the different task modes (e.g. play-out and record) of the
I/O Tool different video format settings can be set. The individual video
format settings are stored by the software and switched automatically
when another task mode is activated.
The video format settings under the record modes allow you to specify
different video formats between in- and output. For an input you can
choose besides the raster settings the port that should be used, and for
a simultaneous output you can set video formats for the SDI as well as
the DVI and analog outputs. Once selected, the respective format will
be automatically applied to the interfaces of the DVS system. By default
all available output formats are linked to the video input format and, if
not configured otherwise, will be set to the same raster.
To set the video format click on the button VIDEO FORMAT…. Then the
following window will be displayed on the screen:
For more information about the Play-out task mode see chap-
ter “Playing Out Clips” on page 6-1.
To initiate a record with the I/O Tool, the input video format
has to match the incoming signal, i.e. it must be of the same
format and raster as the incoming signal.
The selected SDI output raster is applied to the video overlay
and it may have an effect on the images displayed there (e.g.
they may get cropped). You can use the video overlay to see
the effects immediately because it will always show the exact
content of the outgoing signal.
