Record Clips
Using Mira Explorer, you can perform four types of clip recording operations using the input video/audio on the currently selected video
channel. The four types of recordings are: “ New Clip ”; “ Append ”; and “ Overwrite ”.
New Clip (Record After Arming)
The “ New Clip (Record After Arming) ” record is used to create a brand new clip in the clip library, using the digital video and audio inputs
on the selected video channel as the source for the new clip recording.
 NOTE: If the video channel you wish to record with is already
selected, then skip ahead to step 0 below.
1. Click anywhere in horizontal transport
control area for desired channel.
 ChB is selected in this illustration, as indicated by
the orange highlight on ChB.
2. Click (Record) button.
 This presents the “Clip Record Setup” dialog
window, shown in the next step.
3. Click “ New Clip ” radio button.

(A)
The “ New Clip ” data field section is active.

(B)
NOTE : If you’re not recording an alpha matte
“Key” signal, then uncheck this checkbox; less
media disk space will be used.
4. Type desired Clip Name for new clip.
 HINT: To record new clip into a sub-folder, please
refer to “ New Clip (Create & Load)
The “ New Clip (Create & Load)” record option in the
Clip Record Setup dialog window will create a new 1-
frame duration clip and load it in the video channel
transport after the
button is clicked. This
function is very useful if you want to first create a new
clip from within the Mira Explorer user interface, and
then use that same clip for recording purposes in the
video channel transport while that channel is under
remote RS422 serial control.
