Performing a Crash Record
In the Manual record mode the selection area to the right of the task
mode buttons shows the settings that are necessary for this record
mode. To initiate a crash record of speed 1 with the I/O Tool you have
to perform the following steps:
y Specify the general settings for the record operation, such as the
video format and the storage information as detailed in section
“General Settings” on page 5-4.
y After that press the RECORD button to the right of the selection
area.
If not already active, the control area switches to the RS-422 mode au-
tomatically. Then the record is performed and the timecode numbers of
the Rec field in the information area turn red displaying the current du-
ration of the record. The video overlay shows the input signal as it will
be present at the system’s output(s), i.e. with the applied output raster.
To terminate the manual record perform the following:
y Press the RECORD button again.
The I/O Tool then stops the record procedure and the recorded clip is
shown in the contents area of the bin.
Making a Time-Lapse Recording
After activating the Manual record mode in the I/O Tool the selection
area to the right of the task mode buttons shows the settings items for
this mode. Then to make a time-lapse recording with the I/O Tool per-
form the following:
y Specify the general settings for the record operation, such as the
video format and the storage information as detailed in section
“General Settings” on page 5-4.
y Activate the button INTERVAL and enter in the entry field below it
the number of frames that should elapse for every recorded frame.
y After that type in a duration in the appropriate format in the Dur
field to the right of the selection area (see section “Further Set-
tings” on page 5-21).
With a set duration in the field Dur prior to a record (see sec-
tion “Further Settings” on page 5-21), you can detail the
record time of the I/O Tool. Once the recorded clip amounts to
the stated duration, the record will stop automatically.
If no duration is set, it will be assumed 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).
