Using Protocol Recorder: Local control tasks
Using Protocol Recorder: Local control tasks
In local control mode, you can perform all the tasks locally that are available in the
standard recorder application while the record channel is still under remote control.
For a full description of all the tasks you can perform using the Recorder user
interface, refer to
“Guide to using Recorder” on page 140 .
Using Protocol Player: Local control tasks
In local mode, the Player user interface operates just like the standard Player
application. For a full description of all the tasks you can perform using the Player
user interface, refer to
“Guide to using Player: Play View” on page 160 .
In addition, the following sections describe tasks that are unique to the AMP and
VDCP protocol player applications.
• “Playout using current and preview clips”
• “Skipping to the preview clip during playout”
• “Jumping to a specific timecode”
Playout using current and preview clips
The AMP and VDCP Player applications use a two-head model in that two clips are
loaded simultaneously, as follows:
• Current clip — The “preset id” is considered the current clip that controls channel
resources, i.e. video, audio, and timecode outputs.
• Preview clip — The “preview preset id” is considered the preview clip. Generally
the preview clip begins playing after the current clip completes, at which point the
preview clip becomes the current clip.
If you don’t need this functionality you can use the protocol player applications just
like the standard player, loading and playing a single clip.
See “Loading a clip from
the Clips pane” on page 165 and “Playing a clip” on page 167 .
To playout using current and preview clips:
1. In the toolbar, select the Split Screen button .
2. Select a play channel using the front panel button , or the play channel tab in the
Tools pane .
3. In the protocol player, click (or touch) the thumbnail image to place the current clip
thumbnail in front of the preview thumbnail.
