Using the Device Control Area

This area of the screen is used to control the device currently selected in the
Devices panel. The identity of the device is shown in the label at the top of
the Control Area.

The

Guard

button disables all the control buttons. It prevents you operating

the controls accidentally; for example, pressing

Stop

when a clip is playing

to air. While the button is activated the control buttons are greyed out. The
indicator shows green if the device is guarded, and black if it is not.

The

No Media

indicator button shows if a VideoDisk has a clip currently

loaded or if a VTR device has a tape loaded. The indicator shows green if
the device is empty, and black if it is loaded.

The

Rec Inhibit

button shows if the currently loaded clip can be recorded into

or edited. The indicator shows green if recording is inhibited; it shows
black if you are able to overwrite or edit the clip.

The

Local

button shows if the currently selected device can only be operated

locally. The LMCP enables you to operate a device remotely, but circum-
stances may be such that a device must be operated locally. For example,
an engineer may require it for maintenance purposes. The indicator shows
green if the device can only be operated locally; it shows black if you can
operate it remotely.

The

Time code Display

window shows the time code status of the currently

selected device, even if another user has locked it.

You can use the Clip Progress Bar (located directly below the Time code
Display) to move quickly to an approximate position in the clip that is cur-
rently playing and pause the clip there.
