Previewing a clip that is recording
5. After positioning the cue point on the IEEE 1394 device, use one of the following
methods to start recording:
• New Clip - See “Using New Clip record mode” on page 131 .
• Crash Record - See “Using Crash record mode” on page 131 .
• Fixed Length - See “Using Fixed Length record mode” on page 132 .
6. Record continues until Stop is pressed.
Additional information about IEEE 1394 devices:
• When you start the recording, the iDDR pre-rolls the 1394 device several seconds,
then starts play back prior to capturing media. This ensures the video frame cued
in the channel monitor is recorded.
• There is no audio monitoring facility on the Turbo iDDR for 1394 devices. To
monitor audio, use the audio monitoring features on the DV device.
• The timecode from the 1394 device is not recorded. Rather, the Turbo iDDR starts
striping timecode for the clip starting at zero.
• You can play the clip while it is still recording. See “Previewing a clip that is
recording” on page 137 .
• Depending on the device’s native format, media captured via IEEE 1394 may
require transcoding. If transcoding is required, media may not be captured in
real-time.
