Logging and Digitizing (Capture)
Status Field (C)
This field located above the inlay displays player status messages in plaintext (PLAY, STOP, STILL,
REWIND, LOCAL, DIGITIZING, etc.).
Graphical Display of Player Status
Alternatively, you can right-click the field to display the shortcut menu and switch to a graphical display.
The player status messages are then displayed as “LEDs” with accompanying text (Servo, Color Servo,
Reference, Remote, Rec Inhibit).
This can help to identify a player problem, such as a missing or bad reference signal.
Player Source (D)
From the drop-down list box to the right of the status field, select a player source: either the LIVE Input
or a controllable player/recorder (mandatory for Batch Digitize) connected via an interface (such as RS
422 or IEEE 1394/i.Link DV/Firewire). Timecode data for the material is transferred via the control
interface.
Selecting a player
The options available in this list reflect the settings under Edit > Control Panel > Site > Player Settings.
The corresponding video and audio inputs are switched to the Logging Tool. To display this dialog box
directly, click the icon
to the left in the drop-down list. For descriptions of the various devices, refer to
the separate product manual.
Live Input
The LIVE input is used for non remote-controllable video and audio signals, i.e. when you feed in a sig-
nal directly from a camera or from a TV Tuner. In Avid Liquid, the LIVE input is treated as a player, but
without the option of controlling it via RS 422 or IEEE 1394 (DV).
Its video and audio inputs are configured in the same way as any other player (Edit > Control Panel > Site
> Player Settings > Connections).
