Monitoring File Contents
You can check file contents in the top-of-file picture
display of the VTR window.
Displaying File Top Pictures
Select the file that you want to monitor from the file
list of the VTR window. Right click the file and select
Get TOP Thumbnail Picture from the popup menu that
appears, or click the top-of-file picture display. Or
click the thumbnail picture button on the toolbar.
The e-VTR is cued up to the file top, and the first
picture in the file appears in the top-of-file picture
display. At the same time, the picture is saved on the
computer as the virtual file img.jpg. The Get TOP
Thumbnail Picture window appears while the img.jpg
file is being acquired. You can cancel the picture
acquisition while the Get TOP Thumbnail Picture is
open.
After the img.jpg file is saved on the computer, the top
picture display changes every time the file selection
changes. The captured picture data is discarded when
you exit the application or when you eject the cassette.

list of the VTR window. Right click the file and select
Preview Monitor from the popup menu that appears.
Or click the Preview Monitor button on the toolbar.
A Preview Monitor window opens with the file name
and record entry in its title bar.
Use the VTR control buttons or the slider to check the
contents of the file.

• You need to have access privileges for the file to use
this command.
If you attempt to execute it for a file to which you do
not have access privileges, a message “No Access
Rights” appears.
• The range which users can monitor is limited to the
file range. The screen goes blank and audio is muted
when this range is exceeded. Superusers can continue
to monitor beyond file ranges.
