Recording Clips

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

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

Recorder)” on page 4-11).

y Make sure that the recorder controls are set to the autoedit record

mode (see section “Recorder Controls (VENICE)” on page 4-11).

y To start the autoedit record press the button AUTO EDIT of the

record controls ( ).

The VENICE server then performs the record in accordance with your

settings: The external player will go to its preroll position and start play-

ing from there. The video overlay will show you what is present at the

server’s input, i.e. the content that is recorded as it will be present at the

output of the VENICE server (i.e. with the specified output video for-

mat). As soon as the inpoint on the external player is reached the record

is performed by the VENICE server up to the point of the set outpoint/

duration. During the record the characters of the position field turn red.

Once the outpoint is reached, the record will be terminated automati-

cally.

Once the record has finished, you can switch to the playout mode of

the DVS software and review the recorded material immediately: The

metaclip of the captured clip will be automatically set as the content to

be played out (see section “Selecting Content for Play-out” on

page 3-2).

4.6.4 How to Perform a Slave Mode Record

In the ingest mode you can control the VENICE server by remote and

send a record command to it via RS-422. After receiving the command

the VENICE server will record the incoming signal according to your set-

tings and save the captured material accordingly.

To prepare the VENICE server for a slave mode recording perform the

following:

The record controls will be unavailable when the input set-

tings are not set to the same raster as present at the input

and/or the external player is not set to accept remote con-

trol.

To terminate the autoedit record manually you have to click the

record button once again.

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).
