In this step, you will use VdrPanel in local control to test the record and play channels.
This procedure assumes you have video and audio signals connected to the inputs of
all record channels and have a way of monitoring the video, audio, and timecode
outputs.

In systems without record channels you must use the video network to transfer a clip
from another Profile. (See “Using Media Manager” in the

).

To test channels using VdrPanel:

1. Start VdrPanel using the desktop shortcut or by selecting

Start | Programs | Profile

Applications | VdrPanel

. The VdrPanel window appears.

NOTE: The first time VdrPanel runs, a panel opens for each default record and
play channel. The number of default channels depends on your model. Refer to
“Default Video Connections” on page 5.

2. Record a short clip, a few seconds in duration as follows:

a. Click the

Record

button in the panel for a record channel. Recording starts. The

Size

display indicates compressed frame sizes during record as timecode

advances in the Timecode display.

b. Click the

Stop

button to end the recording. Notice the clip name in the clip list

is #1.
