5.3.2 How to Use the Manual Record Mode

This section describes how to use the Manual record mode. With the

Manual record mode you can perform a crash record either with

speed 1 or a time-lapse recording. Furthermore, you can control the

I/O Tool by remote in this mode via RS-422.

The button RECORD enables you to perform a

record with the currently made settings, while

the button CLOSE exits the slave mode.

When the slave mode is activated, directories

according to the settings are created on the

storage. You can then send a record command

to the DVS system via RS-422 whereupon the

I/O Tool will start the record operation. In slave

mode the DVS system will behave like a VTR,

i.e. applying preroll, postroll, etc. The specifica-

tions of these parameters can be found in the

“CLIPSTER Edit Tool” user guide.

The field for a clip duration as well as

the items for a time-lapse recording

have no function during slave mode re-

cording.

The slave mode can also be used in a

multi-device setup where one DVS sys-

tem controls several others for a simul-

taneous record operation. For further

information about this see the “CLIP-

STER Configurations” user guide.

After your settings for the respective record

mode are finished, you can start a record oper-

ation of the I/O Tool with this button. Then the

button changes its appearance to its active state

( ) and the capturing be-

gins immediately. If you have set a duration for

the record operation, the record will stop auto-

matically once the recorded clip amounts to the

stated duration. If no duration has been entered

or when it is necessary to terminate the record,

you have to click this button again to stop the

procedure.
