NOTE: Insert edits for MPEG clips using the BVW or BVW [insert
edit] controllers are not possible unless the clip is I-frame only. An
inset edit is accomplished by over-recording previously recorded
portions of video or audio material.

Setting Louth Modes

If you use Louth Automation, you can set a panel to Louth modes. Normally,
when a clip is cued, a freeze or confidence frame appears on the monitor instead
of a regular video input feed. In Louth switcher mode, you do not see a
confidence frame: you see video input from the feed until you play the clip.
When the clip is done playing, you immediately see the regular video input
again.

Without Louth end mode, you may see a few fields of a following clip, even if
you don’t intend to play it. Louth end mode ensures that after playing a clip in
a list, timecode freezes at the first frame of the next clip in that list.

NOTE: Louth menu commands are available only when the panel
controller is set to Louth Automation.
