Description
Command
Turn the Entry In mode on the VTR off.
When the Entry In mode is off, the VTR
will rewind the preroll time when the
Preroll command is issued.
In Flag Reset
Turn the Entry In mode on the VTR on.
When the Entry In mode is on, the VTR
will go to the in-entry point that has
previously been set on the VTR, minus
the preroll, when the Preroll command
is issued. The in-entry point is set from
the VTR, and not from the switcher.
In Recall
Have the VTR go into pause mode.
Pause
Play a video clip (with alpha if the
option is set for the device). The
switcher will confirm the status of the
video server, and then send the play
command.
Play
The currently looping clip stops
playing the next time it reaches the
end.
Play Loop Off
The currently cued and playing clip
loops back to the beginning when it
finishes playing. If you pause a clip
that is looping, the looping is turned
off.
Play Loop On
Play a video clip (with alpha if the
option is set for the device). The
switcher does not confirm the status
of the video server, but immediately
sends the play command.
Play no Stat
Have the VTR go to the predefined
in-entry, minus a set preroll time,
when In Recall is active. When In Recall
is not active, the VTR will rewind the
pre-roll time from the current point.
The in-entry point and preroll time are
set from the VTR, and not from the
switcher.
Preroll
The VTR/server goes into record mode.
You must use the Stop event to stop
the recording. It is a good practice to
create a Stop custom control before
creating the Record custom control so
that you can stop the recording. Click
Enter Clip Name and enter the name
you want to use for the clip you are
recording on the server.
Record
Requests the currently loaded clip
from the VTR and then sends the
command to load that clip.
Recue
Have the VTR go into rewind forward
mode.
Rewind
Take the VTR out of standby mode.
When not in standby mode, the heads
of the VTR are removed from the tape,
showing noise or black on the video
output. This command only works if
the VTR is stopped.
