The Object
Starting/Stopping Batch Digitize
Before you begin, be sure to check the following settings:
 The Media Format/Codec (depending on product) selected
 Destination volumes for digitizing -
If more than one destination volume is registered, select one from the list box.
When necessary, Batch Digitize employs all volumes (disk drives) available through Media Man-
agement to complete the current batch job. See also “Media Management Settings” on page 332.
 Settings for the player -
Click the player button next to the player name to open the settings dialog box (page 117).
The batch operation starts when you click the Digitize button and runs automatically following these
steps:
1 First, Batch List and the Duration are updated, if applicable.
2 The system prompts you to insert a specific tape. If you haven’t yet done so, insert the correct
source in the player and click OK.
3 If all runs smoothly, one batch list entry after the other is removed from the list as Batch Digitize
completes the job.
4 In case of successful termination the Batch Digitize dialog closes.
Otherwise, see “Error Messages” on page 297 below.
Avid Liquid processes the clips in ascending order by mark-in points in order to avoid any unnecessary
shuttling back and forth on the part of the player.
Error Messages
Clips that could not be digitized remain in the batch list, marked with one of the following error mes-
sages (Status column).
Note that the system proceeds to digitize all other clips on the list. There is no need to stop the batch
before the batch is done. Problematic clips can be digitized after successful troubleshooting.
 Diskspace -
The file(s) could not be fitted on any one of the available volumes. (See also “Disk Full State /
Change Volume” on page 137.)
At the end of the batch, the system goes into troubleshooting mode; see page 298.
 Failed -
The data could not be digitized correctly, or the digitize process could not be completed.
