Transport Control Buttons
The transport control buttons represent the buttons of a video tape
recorder: clicking the
Pause button pauses the currently selected device,
clicking the Play button plays the loaded clip, and so on. When you click a
button it shows white. The button is automatically deselected and shows
grey if you click another button.
How to Record Using the Transport Control Buttons

We describe a typical procedure below, but it may not apply to your installa-
tion.

2. Select which tracks to record with the Recording Mode Selection indicator
buttons.

5. Choose a clip type. The system displays the Filer-Fax.
6. Select the categories you require. See Filer-Fax on page 121 for more

How the other controls respond

device; the button shows white. Any information referring to the clip in the
Clip Area disappears. If the selected device is a VTR, the tape is ejected.
Clicking the Rewind button rewinds the clip that is loaded in the currently
selected device; the button shows white. Once rewinding is complete, the
Rewind button shows grey and the Pause button is automatically selected
and shows white.
Clicking the Play button plays the clip in the currently selected device — the
button shows white. Once play-out is complete, the Play button shows grey
and the Pause button is automatically selected and shows white.
