Playing While Recording a Clip (PWR)
The Play While Record (PWR) feature enables you to start recording a clip in SD or HD on
one channel, and then begin to play the same recording out of another channel after 20
seconds. In a PWR workflow, the recorded media will continue to transfer to the shared
storage and be checked into Interplay.
n
For MPEG-2 HD models, you can perform a maximum of two Play While Records (PWRs)
at the same time on one AirSpeed Multi Stream. For SD and DNxHD models, we support
only one PWR at a time.
To play while recording a clip:
1. Select an unused MiniMonitor. For more information, see “Clip Recording Methods” on
page 163 .
2. Start recording on that channel.
3. After 20 seconds, play the clip to an empty MiniMonitor Window (different channel)
that is configured for the video standard of the clip you are cueing. For more
information, see
“Cueing Clips” on page 173 .
Playout will begin automatically.
n
If you try to drag the recording clip to another channel before 20 seconds, playout will have
problems.
4. (Option) If you do not want to play the clip from the beginning, you can trim the In
point of the clip to where you want it to start playback by doing the following:
a. On the Playback MiniMonitor, locate the spot in the clip where you want to set the
Mark In by using the J (Previous Frame) and L (Next Frame) keys to move to the
desired start location.
b. With focus on the Browse window, select View > Details to provide a detailed view
of the clips in the database.
c. Locate the clip you want to edit the In point.
