Guide to using the Recorder/Player application: Control view

The following shows the basic controls in the Recorder/Player application found in AppCenter, which uses the Player/Recorder application to record a clip. The Player/Recorder channel is referred to as C1, C2, C3 or C4.

Control Description and User Operation

Assignable buttons

Assignable buttons allow you to modify the button assignments to best suit your workflow. Hold down a button to open a pop-up menu that lists the alternative button choices.

Current timecode

Indicates the current timecode of the timecode source selected for the channel. Text color is white during record, and dimmed at other times. The timecode value of XX:XX:XX:XX is displayed when the timecode source is not present or is invalid.

Timecode source

The text displayed to the right of current timecode indicates the timecode source.

Loop thru mode

This text indicates if “E-to-E (LoopThru) mode” is selected. See Record Menu below.

Clip Name Edit Control

Displays the clip’s name and location in the media storage system. To rename the clip, click and enter text. You can change the current bin. You can use the Clips pane to manage and organize clips.

View tabs

These tabs toggle between Control and Cue Points view.

ChannelFlex

If the channel is configured to be a ChannelFlex type, it is displayed in this area. ChannelFlex requires an AppCenter Elite license.

Application

A drop-down list allows you to select between None, Playlist, Player/Recorder, or (if licensed for AppCenter Elite) addition selections. If the Player/Recorder application is selected, you can play or record using the pane controls.

Time Dome

This multi-function indicator displays either record progress only, or available storage and record progress. The Time Dome also indicates when the record channel is in Continuous Record mode. Available storage is estimated using the amount of free disk space and the video compression settings for the channel. The record progress indicator makes one revolution every 10 seconds in normal record, or one revolution during a fixed length recording. You can change the Time Dome function by right-clicking on the Time Dome and choosing an application from the pop-up menu.

Length

Select the Length control to enter the clip length, then choose record. Recording continues until you choose stop or the specified fixed length is reached.

Meter bar button

Displays the Meter bar, which contains the audio record level controls and signal meters. Changes to the audio level are saved for the channel.

Recorder Control menu

Load Clip – Opens the Load Clip dialog box. (Only available on the SD-00 K2 Summit Production Client)

New Clip – Used to create and name clip prior to starting the recording. If a clip is already loaded, selecting New Clip ejects the current clip and creates a new one.

Schedule Start Time – Opens the Trigger At entry box so a start time can be entered.

Locate – Locates the currently loaded clip in the Clips pane.

Properties – Opens the Properties dialog for the currently loaded clip.

Auto Subclips– The auto subclip check box changes the way that the subclip mode behaves. When it is NOT checked, clips have to be accepted manually. When it is checked, a subclip will be created as soon as you set a mark out.

Widescreen – Sets the channel for recording widescreen format. (720p and 1080i clips are always recorded in widescreen, whether this is selected or not.)

E-to-E (LoopThru) mode – When selected, the following occurs: “EE” is displayed on the channel pane, next to the Timecode Source indicator; when no clip is loaded, the signal that is currently present at the channel input is passed through; when a record operation stops the clip remains in the Recorder. The signal that is currently present at the channel input passes through (video, audio, and timecode).
