Playing Out Clips

A record can be performed in two different modes which can be set via

a combo box at the top left of the recorder controls:

– The crash record mode allows you

to start a record operation on the

externally connected device at any time.

frame accurately record on the

externally connected device the content that is played out with the

VENICE server.

You can use the items of the recorder controls as described in section

“The Controls Explained” on page 3-15. The timeline that is controlled

is the content of the external device, such as the tape of a VTR.
