CLIPSTER I/O Tool User Guide
In the Manual record mode you can set the
I/O Tool to a time-lapse recording via the IN-
TERVAL button and the entry field below it. For
this you may set a duration in the Dur field (see
below) which will then specify the total duration
that the recorded clip shall provide after the
record. In the entry field Factor type in the
number of frames that should be played out for
every recorded frame (nth frame). Once the IN-
TERVAL button is activated
( ) and a record is initiat-
ed, the I/O Tool will record every nth frame only
until the recorded clip amounts to the length
stated in the Dur field.
If no duration is set, a time-lapse record
will be performed until terminated
manually by clicking the RECORD but-
ton again.
The duration field is in all record modes the
same: With it you set the duration that the clip
to be recorded shall provide after a record. The
duration can be entered either in timecode or
frames notation depending on the selected no-
tation for the position and length fields (see
“CLIPSTER Edit Tool” user guide for more infor-
mation).
If no duration is set, the I/O Tool as-
sumes that the amount of frames to be
recorded exceeds the number set with
the files per folder items (see section
“Path Options” on page 5-19) and a
multi-clip may be created (see section
“The Captured Files” on page 5-12).
With the button SLAVE... you can activate the
slave mode of the I/O Tool. It opens the follow-
ing window allowing you minimal control of the
I/O Tool without relinquishing the slave mode:
