Playing Out Clips

3.6 Playing Out with the VENICE Server

With the DVS software in the playout

mode you can play out the currently

selected content:

– You can play out content manually.

– You can perform a crash record on an externally connected device.

– You can perform an automated play-out of the content while at the

same time frame accurately recording it on the externally connected

device (autoedit record).

– You can set the playout mode into slave mode to control the play-

out from an externally connected device.

All these procedures are explained in this section.

3.6.1 How to Play Out Clips Manually

To play out clips in the playout mode perform the steps as described be-

low:

y Select the video and audio content that should be played out with

the Source items as described in section “Selecting Content for

Play-out” on page 3-2.

y If necessary, specify the essences for the play-out with the Output

select items (see section “Selecting Essences for Play-out” on

page 3-6).

y If necessary, configure the output format to your requirements with

the Output settings items (see section “Configuring the Output

Settings” on page 3-7).

y If not already activated, switch to the player controls by selecting

the tab VENICE (see section “Controlling the Devices (Player /

Recorder)” on page 3-14).

When controlling the video channel from a client, the images

in the video overlay are transmitted via network. There may be

a time delay until the material is displayed in the video overlay

and it may seem as if drops occurred. Real drops on the server,

however, will be automatically detected and you will be in-

formed about them in the information area (see section “Infor-

mation Area” on page 3-13).

Via project files or presets the software can be preconfigured

for certain tasks. Then it may not be necessary to perform all

the configurations described below (see section “Preconfigur-

ing the VENICE Client Software” on page 2-13).
