video/audio. This will open another dialog window where you can type
in the respective path and clip name:
Figure 3-3: Entering a clip’s path and name
In this window enter the path and file name of the clip on the VENICE
server and confirm your entry with the OK button. The entered path
must lead to the storage of the VENICE server to which you are current-
ly connected.
When entering the file name for a clip in a container format (e.g.
*.mxf), you can enter the file name as it is.
When entering the file name for a video clip that consists of still images,
you have to observe the C notation usually with the syntax
<string>%0Yd.<ext>:
Perform this for video and audio separately with the available entry
fields of the Source settings.
Selecting Content Via a Dialog Window
To select content for a play-out you can use the buttons to the right of
the entry fields ( ). They will open each a dialog window similar to
a browsing pane in Spycer:
<string> Preceding string of file name
% Marker that the following is a format string
0 If the output of the format string does not provide the
stated length, fill it with zeros (0)
Y Number of digits, for example, 5
d Marker that the format string is a decimal number
<ext> File extension
Example: Hollywood_%05d.dpx
Indicates a clip with still image files of the name
Hollywood_<5-digit number>.dpx
In fact, this dialog window is generated by Spycer. Without a
Spycer application installed it will not be available.
