Note
On serial controlled VTRs (using the AMP protocol), the current IN and OUT
marks are ignored for the loop. In other words, a clip is always played from
SOM (start of material) to EOM (end of material) or vice versa. This also
applies to LAN controlled VTRs when the "Mark Control" feature is disabled.
If "Mark Control" is enabled (see "MCtl" section for details), the IN and OUT
marks are taken into account for the loop.
•
ACue
When "Auto Cue" is enabled, a clip is automatically cued to its IN mark
after it is loaded by a snapshot or timeline recall.
•
MCtl
The "Mark Control" feature is only available for VTRs which are con-
trolled over LAN. When "Mark Control" is enabled, the IN and OUT
marks stored within the metadata of a clip are controlled directly. In
other words, metadata of a clip can be changed. In combination with
the loop mode, a clip can be played in loop between its IN and OUT
marks. This kind of loop is completely controlled by the external
machine and therefore 'absolute accurate'.
Some More Details About IN/OUT Mark Handling
On serial controlled VTRs and on LAN controlled VTRs where "Mark Con-
trol" is disabled, the IN and OUT marks are totally clip independent and
stored within the Kayak frame once per machine. It's possible to set them
per keypad input or by grabbing the current timecode (see description of
related buttons for details). By holding the Goto button and pressing Mark
In or Mark Out, the machine cues to the related timecode. The IN and OUT
marks are not considered in loop mode.
On a LAN controlled VTR where "Mark Control" is enabled, the IN and
OUT mark handling is clip dependent. When a mark is changed (setting,
grabbing), the new value is stored within the metadata of the current
loaded clip. When a new clip is loaded, the stored marks are read from the
clip and copied to the current mark entries. The IN and OUT marks are
fully considered in loop mode.
Note
When the current loaded clip is not located in the current working folder (e.g.
working folder has been changed after clip was loaded) and an IN or OUT
mark is changed, the working folder is also changed back to the one where
the clip is located.
