5. Digitizing a Clip
5.1. Introduction
In Clip Digitize Mode, a clip can be digitized from the VTR to a recorder channel on an
EVS video server. In the digitize process, clips can be sent to different destinations and
published to user groups.
The users have several options to digitize a clip from a tape:
• Defining a Mark In point and a Mark Out point and digitizing the portion of the tape into
one clip. This is called the Auto-Edit mode.
• Ingesting the entire tape and creating a single clip, even if the tape contains timecode
discontinuities.
• Defining the clip duration and digitizing the corresponding portion of the tape from its
beginning into one clip.
• Ingesting an entire tape and creating a different clip each time a timecode disruption is
encountered. This is called the Derush mode.
In this case, several clips are automatically created from the same tape by the
system, while in the Batch Digitize Mode several clips may come from different tapes
and are put to the batch list by the users.
5.2. Process Overview
The process of digitizing a clip can be summarized by the following steps.
