358 Encore — Configuration Manual
Section 8 — Additional OUI Operations
The Clip Assistant Main Screen has five areas:
• Clip Assistant Devices Area,
• Device Control Area,
• Clip Area,
• Tape Area, and
• Clip Assistant Area.
Note The Device Control Area and Clip Area are identical in appearance and func-
tionality to those areas of the same name on the LMCP Main Screen (see Clip
Area on page 346).
Clip Assistant Device Selection
The Device Selection Area reduces when you press the Clip Assistant button.
The area consists of the 8-slat panel for selecting and displaying the names
of the devices, and the
Add and Remove buttons. These operate in the same
manner and are detailed in
Device Selection and Control on page 347.
Note The Clip Assistant always refers to the currently selected device, even if
another user locks it.
Tapes
Use the Tape Area to select tapes (from the tape database) onto which you
can record or mark up additional clips. You can also register new tapes.
This window shows the ID of the currently loaded tape.
Loading Registered Tapes
1. Click the Load button. The system displays the Filer-Fax in Load Mode.
The Filer-Fax shows all tapes that exist in the system.
2. Select a tape in the usual way. The system shows the tape ID in the Tape
ID window.
Note The system does not load a tape into a device, just the tape information.
Each VTR device can have a tape loaded. If you switch between VTR
devices, the system may show a different tape in the Tape ID field.
You cannot load tapes onto non-VTR devices. In the case of non-VTR
devices, the system displays [- no tape -] in the Tape ID field.
The LMCP can process tapes without loading them onto a VTR device. If
you want it to do this, select an empty slat (on the device panel) and click
the
Load button. You can then access the tape from any of the blank slats.
This tape becomes the primary location for any clips that you save if you
don’t select a specific device.
