MARK REACTION
Sets the reaction time between when you see action you want to preserve by making a child clip and when
you need to tap the MAKE CHILD key. When MAKE CHILD is hit, the MARK REACTION is subtracted from
the current record clip position to create the child clip’s IN point.
PRE-IN HANDLE
Sets the amount of material that is preserved before the IN point when a child clip is made. When a child
clip is used by VR300 software, it will load and play from the (SUPERSLIDE’S) IN point less the IN point
handle. The IN point handle is stored in the VR300 agency field as the IN offset. See CLIP MANAGEMENT
for more information.
POST-OUT HANDLE
Sets the amount of material that is preserved after the OUT point when a child clip is made.
DEFAULT DUR
Sets the default duration that is used when making child clips using the MAKE CHILD key. This is the
duration between the SUPERSLIDE IN and OUT points; the actual clip duration will be the DEFAULT DUR +
the PRE-IN the POST-OUT HANDLE. Subsequent trimming or setting the IN and OUT points
will affect the actual child duration if the child is still a subset of its parent.
MAKE CHILD FROM
Specifies the channel whose loaded clip the currently selected channel will use as the parent clip when a
child clip is made. Normally, child clips are made from matching in-record channel clips so these settings
default to channels 6-10 (record channels) used to make children for channels 1-5 (playback channels).
Sometimes it is desirable to make a child clip from the clip loaded on the same channel, this is done by
holding the ENTER key while tapping the MAKE CHILD key. If a child is made from an existing child, the
existing child’s parent clip is actually used as the parent, but the IN point is still taken from the existing child’s
currently output frame less the MARK REACTION.

Many aspects of the way the SUPERSLIDE works are adjustable by the user. Almost all of these settings are
stored in registers called personality registers. Ten personality registers are provided, allowing different users to
store their favorite configurations. A user may wish to use two or more registers to recall different modes of
operation depending on the task currently being undertaken. Registers may be named with alphanumeric
names up to sixteen characters long. Items stored in the personality registers include those set in the RECORD
SETTINGS, CHILD SETTINGS, and OPER PREFS menus.
