EVS IPDirector Version 6.0 - November 2012 Part 8 User's Manual - Manual (Page 218)

Live to Tape
The Live to Tape process can be summarized as follows:
Step See section...
1. The user first needs to assign a recorder channel to
IPEdit to be able to use the Live to Tape function. "Assigning a Recorder
Channel to IPEdit" on page
206.
2. The user defines the Replace settings, including
Preroll and optional GPI triggers for external
devices in use. "Replace Settings" on page
230.
3. The user specifies the range of the timeline to be
replaced by defining a mark IN point and, possibly a
mark OUT point in the timeline. The mark OUT
point for the Live to Tape function is optional. If no
OUT point exists, the user is performing an open-
ended replace and can stop the replace when
desired.
If required, the user can define a mark IN point for
all the audio tracks which is different than the mark
IN point for the video track.

Tape Function" on page

can be done by clicking the button above the
timeline or pressing SHIFT + .

5. The resulting A/V material is ingested back to the
server via the assigned recorder channel. "How to use the Live to
Tape Function" on page
217.
6. A newly created clip based on this ingested
material will directly replace the defined portion in
the timeline. The new clip includes a fixed
guardband IN and OUT of 3 seconds. "How to use the Live to
Tape Function" on page
217.
6.15.3. Assigning a Recorder Channel to IPEdit
Principle
The recorder channel is used to automate the process of recording portions of a timeline
back to the server. It is used in the Replace process, the Create Clip from Timeline
process and the Live to Tape process.
