The Auto scale and OAR (original aspect ratio) items enable you to
scale and resize your original video material:
– With the combo box Auto scale set to Fit and the OAR check
box activated, the original material will be scaled to its maximum
allowable width or height so that no information gets lost. If the
aspect ratio is different, you will receive black bars in the target files.
– With this combo box set to Crop and the OAR check box acti-
vated, the images will be scaled to their maximum allowable width
or height so that you receive a full image at the output. If the aspect
ration is different, parts of the images may be cropped.
–With the Auto scale setting set to Off, the material will maintain
its original size.
– With the combo box Auto scale set to Fit or Crop and the OAR
check box deactivated, the aspect ratio will not be preserved. The
resulting images will be stretched or compressed if the aspect ratio
is different and you will always receive a full image in the target
files.
When INTERNAL TC is selected in the field Timecode type, you can
enter a timecode offset in the field Start timecode. It will be evaluated
if for the clip to be generated a file format is selected that stores source
timecode information (e.g. *.dpx). Then the source timecode of the
target clip will start with this timecode.

With these settings you determine the storage location of the files to be
created.
5.1.2 Player Controls
The player controls in the transcode mode can be used, for example, to
play out the items that are currently selected as the source. They per-
form the same actions as the player controls in the playout mode (see
section “Player Controls (VENICE)” on page 3-14). The following user
interface items are available for a transcoding only.
You can select between the transcoding of a single item or a complete
transcoding list via the combo box at the top left of the controls:
