The clip is ejected from the channel transport and color bars are loaded into the preview window and video output of the
selected channel.
Clip Repeat Modes
There are a number of ways to have a clip continuously loop when playing out. These modes can be set in the metadata
of a clip so that the clip always loads in this mode. They can also be set manually from the channel transport controls, or
they can be set remotely from an external device.
Only one play repeat mode can be active at a time.
Tip: Repeat modes use Play Repeat IN and Play Repeat OUT points to determine what video to repeat. The default values for these
points are stored in the metadata of the clip.
Normal (Off)
This is the normal play mode ( ) where the clip plays to the end and stops. This mode is automatically set if you are
controlling the channel transport from an external device, such as a switcher.
Loop
The repeat mode ( ) where the clip starts playing again from the in point again after it reaches the out point. When the
clip starts playing, it immediately seeks to the Play Repeat IN point and plays until it reaches the Play Repeat OUT
point. When it reaches the Play Repeat OUT point it seeks back to the Play Repeat IN point and plays again. The
clip will continue to play like this until stopped.
Ping-Pong
The repeat mode ( ) where the clip plays back and forth between the in and out points. When the clip starts playing, it
immediately seeks to the Play Repeat IN point and plays until it reaches the Play Repeat OUT point. When it reaches
the Play Repeat OUT point it starts playing in reverse until it reaches the Play Repeat IN point again. The clip will
continue to play like this until stopped.
Loop to Play
The Multipoint (3-Point Loop) repeat mode ( ) where the clip can start playing from a point before the in point but
starts playing again from the in point when it reaches the out point. The clip starts playing from the beginning passing
through the
Play Repeat IN
point and continues playing until it reaches the
Play Repeat OUT
point. When it reaches
the Play Repeat OUT point it seeks back to the Play Repeat IN point and plays again. The clip will continue to play
like this until stopped.
The portion of the clip before the
Play Repeat IN
point is only played the first time. This can be used if the repeating
portion of the clip has a lead-in at the beginning. The lead-out portion of the clip can be played by switching the clip to
the normal ( ) mode after the last repeat has started. The clip will then play to the end.
Recording a Clip
When recording a clip you can record a new clip, append to the end of an existing clip, or overwrite an existing clip.
Clips can be recorded to the root, or a sub-folder in the Clip Library.
Tip:
If you want to quickly record a clip using the same settings as the last time you recorded, press and hold the
Shift
button and click
the record button ( ).
To Record a New Clip
Use a channel transport to record the video signal coming into the server.
Note: You cannot record a separate key video + alpha channel.
1. Select the channel transport that you want to record a clip to. This is the channel for the BNC on the back of the
server that the audio/video you want to record is coming in on.
