The purpose of the VTR Control Panel is to control a VTR (Video Tape Recorder)
from IPDirector. It is an advanced remote control, from within the IPDirector
application.
Apart from playback and record control, it also allows the extraction of clips from
a tape to the XT[2] servers. This process can be done with an individual “auto-
