Digitizing (Capture)
In the Logging Tool, digitizing is started or terminated by means of the button displayed. Several variants
are available.
If you’re working with the Live Player set on Custom TC: Enter the desired start TC value in the TC field,
start the counter by clicking Play. Now the Digitize button can be selected.
Full Control Digitize
“Full Control Digitize” means that the system controls digitizing from the mark-in to the mark-out
(Batch Digitize is always “full control”). The other mode is “open-end” (page 142).
In the Logging Tool, individual clips can be “full-control digitized”.
This happens after you click the Digitize button:
 Mark-in and mark-out set:
The player cues up to the preroll position and changes to “Play”. Digitizing starts at the mark-in.
The message DIGITIZING appears in the status field and a progress indicator is displayed in the
Duration timecode field.
The digitizing process stops at the mark-out and so does the player. The digitized clip is trans-
ferred to the Rack, and to the Timeline if selected (see page 133).
The current process can only be cancelled by clicking the Cancel button (page 144).
A yellow flashing Digitize button indicates changes or additions made in the clip tab during digitizing, or
the occurrence of errors. Either click Stop to discard the current clip or the Digitize button to complete
the ongoing operation.
Open End
In this mode, the system has no control over the procedure. The user starts and stops the player and the
digitizing process. Digitizing from a live source is always “open-ended”:
 Mark-in set:
The player cues up to the preroll position, changes to “Play” and starts digitizing as of the mark-
in.
The status field contains the message DIGITIZING.
Duration timecode field: Here timing starts as of the mark-in.
Digitizing stops as soon as you click the Digitize button again.
The digitized clip is transferred to the Rack, and to the Timeline if selected (page 133).
If you click Stop, the so far digitized clip with its corresponding Media File(s) are discarded.
