Live Edit Decision Lists (EDL)
Edit Decision Lists are files used by non-linear editing
(NLE) suites to aid in post-production. Your switcher
can capture EDL data in a file that you load into your
NLE suite.
Live EDL support requires a separate license.
Contact your dealer for information on purchasing a
Live EDL license.
Configuring Live EDL Behavior
You can configure your switcher to trigger multiple
GPI outputs at the start, end, or both of EDL data
capture. You can also set a pre-delay for each GPI
output. EDL data capture does not begin until the
highest pre-delay has passed. This is useful when the
switcher needs to wait for external equipment to
become ready. The example below shows the effects
of various triggering and pre-delay settings.
