Using VTR Ingest
Using VTR Ingest
You can use VTR Ingest to create a segment (batch) list of clips from videotape
recordings, which you then record to your Media Server. For instructions on recording
VTR clips, see
“Creating a Segment List” on page 105 . (You can schedule recordings
using Scheduler. For more information, see “Using Aurora Ingest - Scheduler” on
page 65 .)
To view video, make sure you have configuring VTR Ingest for video viewing. For
more information, see
“Configuring VTR Ingest (VTR)” on page 53 .
This section is divided into the following topics:
“Adding Handles”
“Creating a Segment List”
“Controlling the VTR with VTR Ingest”
“Marking In and Out Points”
“Deleting the Segment List”
“Recording Clips to the Media Server”
“Scanning Tape with Broken Timecodes”
Adding Handles
If you add handles to your clips, you will have additional frames to choose from when
trimming your clips. Grass Valley recommends handles be used.
To use handles:, click the Record Handle button.
To set the duration of the handles, see “Configuring System Settings” on page 29 .
Creating a Segment List
To create a segment (or batch) list:
1. Insert a tape into the VTR.
2. Click Tape ID and name this videotape.
If you don’t enter a Tape ID, Aurora Ingest prompts you before you add the first
clip.
3. Play through the videotape to get the footage you need (see “Controlling the VTR
with VTR Ingest” on page 106 ).
4. If desired, name the clip.
If not, Aurora Ingest will automatically name each clip using the prefix you set
when you configured each channel. Refer to
“Configuring Channels” on page 40 .
5. Select a different record location for the clip, if you want to.
6. Mark an In and Out point for the clip (see “Marking In and Out Points” on
page 107 ).
7. Click Add Segment to List or press C on your keyboard.
