(ID#) Highlight - This tag indicates playback is in Highlight Reel mode. When you press
Play Highlight, playback of events respects marked Out Points (see Section 6.2.8).
The Current Time timecode display shows the current recorded time in LIVE playback mode, or the
timecode of the current frame in Delayed, Event or Highlight mode. Just to the right of Current
Time is the Time Remaining field. This is essentially an event countdown:
During standard playback of an event from a playlist, this field shows time remaining to
the end of the event that was initially played. If play enters another event, the
countdown is reinitialized to reflect the duration of that event. If play enters a period of
the video record for which an event is not marked, Time Remaining shows --:--:--.—.
6.4.7 AUDIO, AND AUDIO MONITORING
The audio VU (Volume Unit) meters beside each of the video stream monitors serve several
purposes. At the simplest level, if you intend to record audio with your video (or pass it through to
3P
LAY ’s outputs), the input meters assure you that audio is being received at 3P LAY ’s inputs.
Likewise, the output VU meters provide confidence that 3P LAY is supplying audio to its outputs.
More importantly, you can monitor audio levels to be sure you are not overdriving the system,
which would result in clipping of the signal (see Section 6.4.2.2).
6.4.8 EVENT PANEL

The right side of the 3P LAY Desktop is devoted to the Event Panel. By way of reminder (as
discussed in depth back in Section 3.2), an event is not merely a ‘clip’. Rather it can be compared
to a bookmarked section of the complete recording, a synchronized time slice of all three streams
