21 Bogart SE 4 User manual
To use the ‘Timeline’ method, you require a VGA-DVI or HDMI
resolution of at least 1024x768 pixels . A video monitor is not
suitable for Timeline editing . Before you activate the Timeline,
it is essential that you select a suitable screen resolution .
Storyboard - Mode: This switches between the Storyboard
and Timeline display . The Timeline method gives you two op-
tions . Either ‘Timeline’ for using the Timeline in all menus, or
‘Timeline (Mix only)’ for using the Timeline only in the audio mix
screen .
Storyboard – Video: you van display a text in the video track,
using the name of a scene as identification . It is also possible
to use a relevant image at the start and the end as representa-
tion of the scenes . If you opt for the image, you can also select
a size (small, medium, large) . The images have priority over
the text so in some cases, the text may be overlapped by the
image .
Storyboard - Insert: You can make the same settings that are
possible for the video track . In addition, you can also deacti-
vate the insert track altogether, if you don’t need it .
Color change: This button activates an alternative scene dis-
play for the video track . If you activate this option, scene will
also be displayed in differing tones of blue, in addition to the
yellow separation line .
Display sound envelope: This is used when mixing sound
when sound samples are displayed with a sound curve and
an envelope in the timeline view . If you remove the checkmark
for the sound curve, the sound curve will no longer be drawn .
This makes it possible to have a smoother image when work-
ing with longer samples (several minutes) on older equipment .
Therefore, when you think that the image in the sound mix
menu seems very slow to come up, you can try to deactivate
the sound curve display .
Note: This concerns most people who have upgraded from
Bogart SE 1 or 2 to V3 or higher. Image construction with the
sound curve displayed is significantly faster for newer projects
made with Bogart 3.
The display mode of the scene bin can also be set in this
menu . This setting is also dependent on the currently selected
screen resolution and therefore not always available .
Scene bin mode: in case of a resolution of at least 1024x768,
the display of the scene bin will automatically change from a
single line scene list to a multiline scene list . With these set-
tings it is possible to set the type of scene bin you want to use,
even in higher resolutions .
Scene bin images: This is used to select between three set-
tings for the size of the scene images . This changes the size of
the scenes in the bin, the Storyboard display does not change .
Screen
Click on the “Screen” button to make various screen settings .
Under Bogart SE, you can choose to work with one or two
screens, if your device allows it . There are two separate selec-
tions for this .
“Screen 1” allows you to select different modes and resolu-
tions:
• Video - The output here is made via the SCART connection
or using the additional CVBS and YC connections on a stan-
dard TV set or video monitor . Depending on the aspect ratio of
the connected monitor, you should choose 4:3 or 16:9 .
• DVI - This mode is for DVI output. Use this to connect an
HDMI-equipped TV set using a simple DVI->HDMI adapter
cable . There are three resolutions available, all in 16:9 . The
576p resolution is only available on PAL systems . Please note
that, depending on the system, there are several DVI connec-
tors available . Please refer to the hardware manual of your
device .
• VGA - You can use a computer VGA screen. There are many
resolutions available . The corresponding aspect ratio is shown
next to the resolution . True 16:9 is not possible in VGA . Bogart
SE however, tries to maintain the correct aspect ratio . Depend-
ing on the system, output is possible via a DVI->VGA adapter .
Please refer to the hardware manual of your device . Ask your
dealer about subsequent changes .
• DVI/VGA - This setting is about DVI resolutions for the DVI
output on the mainboard . It is located directly above the HDMI
output and is therefore not available on older hardware . This
can be used to connect a DVI or VGA monitor . Once you
have switched to this monitor, more monitor resolutions could
appear in the list since the properties of the monitor are only
known at the start .
• HDMI - Many devices, especially current ones, also allow an
HDMI connection .
To do this, you should connect your HDMI monitor to the
output of the Bogart system using an HDMI-HDMI cable . HDMI
does not only offer a great resolution, but also the possibil-
