3.4 Information Area
The information area can be found to the right of the tabs to select the
player or recorder controls. It provides status information about
dropped frames and about the external device connected via RS-422:
Figure 3-12: Information area
If dropped frames or audio samples are detected during an operation
on the server, i.e. video or audio data that could not be read from or
written to the storage in time, you can find an indication about them in
the middle of the user interface. You can reset the dropped frames
counter via the menu option Reset dropped frames display on the
Options menu (see section “The ’Options’ Menu” on page 6-11) or
with the context menu of the video overlay (see section “The Video
Overlay” on page 3-9).
To the right the slave’s status is displayed, providing you with details
about the state of the external player connected to the remote output
of the VENICE server. Further information about the different possible
states can be found in section “States of an External Device” on
page A-7.
Individual frames missing in an image sequence consisting of
still images, i.e. image files that are not present on the storage
at all, are registered as drops.
