3.6.2 How to Crash Record with the External Device
In the playout mode you can perform a crash record on the externally
connected device. It will then immediately record the signal that is
present at its input, e.g. the content that is played out manually with
the VENICE server.
To initiate a crash record perform the steps as described below:
y If not already activated, switch to the recorder controls by selecting
the tab RECORDER (see section “Controlling the Devices (Player /
Recorder)” on page 3-14).
y Make sure that the crash record mode is selected (see section
“Recorder Controls” on page 3-14).
y If appropriate, use the recorder controls and the video overlay to
move to the correct position on the external device for the data to
be recorded.
y If wanted, type in the duration that the record should last in the
DUR field.
y Afterwards press the record button ( ) of the record
controls.
The external device will then start the record and as an indication for
this the characters of the position field turn red. The video overlay will
show you what is present at the server’s input. Once the recorded clip

For this procedure the external device has to be connected cor-
rectly to the VENICE server (video, audio, timecode, and
RS-422). Additionally, the device has to be set to accept re-
mote control.
A crash record can be started without further ado, meaning, if
not required, you do not have to set anything. However, you
can record the signal given out by the VENICE server (see sec-
tion “How to Play Out Clips Manually” on page 3-19).
