4.6 Recording with the VENICE Server

With the DVS software in the ingest

mode you can perform record opera-

tions with the VENICE server:

– You can control an externally connected device via RS-422, for

example, to verify its position, set edit points or view its material.

– You can perform a crash record with the VENICE server.

– You can perform an autoedit record with RS-422 control of the

externally connected player.

– You can set the ingest mode into slave mode to control a record on

the VENICE server from an externally connected device.

All these procedures are explained in this section.

4.6.1 How to Control the External Device

For a record operation you may want to control an external device con-

nected via RS-422 with the VENICE client software, for example, to

verify its position, set edit points or view (play out) its material. To do

this perform the following:

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

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

Recorder)” on page 4-11).

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).

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.

To view a video signal in the video overlay the input settings

have to be set to the same raster as present at the input (see

section “Configuring the Input Settings” on page 4-2).

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).
