Grass Valley GV STRATUS v.3.1 - Manual (Page 148)

• All the clips in the gang must be of the same length.
• Recording channels must have started at the same timecode value.
• Cued channels must have the same starting and ending timecode values.
Also, it is strongly recommended that all channels be frame accurate and use the same timecode
source.
If you start your ganged channels recording as one gang record and as long as all the clips continue
to be same length during the recording process, you can add a gang marker to all the clips in the
gang. These markers appear on the individual channel scrub bar and on the gang scrub bar.
If the clips in a gang are not the same length, you cannot add a marker to the gang. This occurs if
you start/stop recordings of individual channels in the gang or if you cue already recorded clips of
different length/timecode into the gang.
If you load a ganged clip into the Inspector panel and add a marker there, the marker appears on
that individual channel's scrub bar in the gang. However, that marker does not appear on the gang
scrub bar, since the marker was not added to the gang.
