Capturing Clips

5.5 Batch Capturing (Batch Mode)

In the Batch mode you can perform several different

record operations from an externally connected player

or other sources in one step. For this the I/O Tool uses a proprietary

capture list which can be easily composed via the settings and specifi-

cations made in the selection area. Additionally, you can process EDLs

or cut lists via an import function. These are then automatically trans-

lated into the capture list format of the I/O Tool.

After initiating the record command the I/O Tool will record the clips

according to the entries of the list and for each entry one clip will be

recorded and saved. All recorded clips can then be accessed via their

thumbnails in the contents area of the bin. Once your record is per-

formed and the batch is processed, you may build up a timeline in the

Edit Tool from the given list. Then you can immediately start with an ed-

iting work in the DVS software.

With the Batch mode you can also perform a conforming. By setting the

record operation to the appropriate source you can reference a capture

list, EDL or cut list to material already available on a storage. The build-

up of a timeline is supported for this feature as well.

When switching to the Batch mode of the I/O Tool, the selection area

will change its appearance. Furthermore, in the tool area of the

I/O Tool additional tabs will appear and the Capture tab will be acti-

vated automatically. On it you can find below some buttons a table for

the capture list:

A conforming with the I/O Tool is available for backward com-

patibility to support previous workflows. In case you want to

autoconform EDLs or cut lists, it is recommended to use the

more sophisticated conforming tool of the Edit Tool.
