Table 3-1 Deck Settings
Option Description
Name Includes a text box for typing your own custom name for the video deck.
The default name matches the deck type.
Description Includes a text box for entering notes about the deck.
Deck Type Provides a list of supported decks. For accurate deck control, choose your
manufacturer and model from the menu.
Address For V-LAN VLXi use only (see your V-LAN VLXi documentation). If you
are using direct serial port deck control, this option remains dimmed.
Preroll Determines how many seconds you want the tape to roll before a digitize
or digital cut starts. The default is based on the type of VTR.
Fast Cue Fast cue is useful only for decks that can read timecode in fast forward or
rewind mode. If your decks can do this, fast cue can speed long searches.
Switch to ff/rew This option instructs the system to switch to fast
forward or rewind if t he target timecode is farther
than the specified number of seconds from your
currentlocationonthetape.
By default, the deck switches to fast forward or
rewind to reach a target timecode that is more than
60 seconds away.
If your deck shuttles very quickly, you can increase
this number so that the system uses fast cue only
for long searches.
Switch to search This option instructs the system to switch out of
fast forward or rewind when it is within the speci-
fied number of seconds of the target timecode. By
default, the system switches to search mode when it
is 14 seconds from the target timecode.
