Live Edit Decision Lists
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.
The switcher supports the
CMX3600
format for
recording EDL files.
Note:
The CMX3600 specification only supports a maximum of
999 events per ME or aux bus. If another event occurs beyond
the 999 limit, a new file is created using the incremental file
number.

LTC
port this option in not available.
•
Internal Time Code

timecode signal starting at 0. This option is not

Press
Rename File Prefix
and enter the name you
want to use for your LiveEDL file. You have the
option of continually overwriting the same file, or
using the file name as a prefix so that a new file is
created every time.
Note:
The file name can only include letters, numbers, and
underscores (_).
4.
Toggle
Overwrite Pfx
on or off to select whether
a LiveEDL file with the same name is overwritten.
•
On
— the file is overwritten if it has the same
name.
•
Off
— a new file is created with a sequential
number appended to the end of the file name.
Tip:
For example, if the file is named
LiveEDL
and you
have already created it, the switcher will either overwrite
the exiting file (On), or create a new file named
LiveEDL001
(Off).
