Recording Clips

4.5 Controlling the Devices (Player / Recorder)

In the ingest mode the VENICE server assumes the role of the recorder

while the external device is used as a player (see also section “Selecting

the Operation Mode” on page 2-5). Via the tabs at the top of the play-

er/recorder controls you can switch between the controls of the

VENICE server and the controls of the player (see section “Performing

the Operation” on page 2-7).

This section describes the controls available for the devices in detail.

First the player controls are explained (tab PLAYER) and after that the

recorder controls (tab VENICE).

4.5.1 Player Controls

With the tab PLAYER in the ingest mode activated the player controls

are displayed. The controls can then be used to move within or manu-

ally play out the material of the external device, for example, to set up

its play-out position. Additionally, you can set an in- and/or outpoint

for the material.

You can use the items of the player controls as described in section “The

Controls Explained” on page 3-15. The timeline that is controlled is the

content of the external device, such as the tape of a VTR.

4.5.2 Recorder Controls (VENICE)

When the tab VENICE is activated in the ingest mode, the recorder

controls are displayed. They can then be used to start a record opera-

tion with the VENICE server.

A record can be performed in two different modes which can be set via

a combo box at the top left of the recorder controls:

– The crash record mode allows you

to start a record operation on the

VENICE server at any time.
