MAKING A RECORDING FROM THE GUI
Video recordings are made using the Transport View of Channel 1. Channel 1 can record or play
back clips but cannot do both at the same time. Channels 2 and 3 are playback only. Follow these
steps to record a clip on Image Server. Note that most of these configuration setting steps can be
skipped once an established workflow is in place.
Record Configuration Options
Set Channel 1 to the Transport View
If necessary, set channel 1 to the Transport View. Click FILE->TRANSPORT in the Channel 1
Playlist View to switch to the Transport View.
Setting the Sync Source
To use a genlocked source, select External Sync using the GUI as follows:
A. From the main menu bar select EDIT->CONFIGURE. The screen of Figure 6 appears.
Select the TIMING option.
B. Select EXTERNAL as the sync source.
C. Check that the front panel GENLOCK GENLOCK GENLOCK GENLOCK LED is now illuminated and the word
GENLOCKED now appears in the bottom right of the main GUI window.
D. If necessary set the LINES and SUB-PELS settings. See System Timing on page 68.
About Genlock Signal Quality
A genlock signal connected to the Image Server must conform to the RS-170A standard. An
unstable genlock source may result in unwanted artifacts in the video output or recorded data.
To use a non-genlocked CVBS source, follow the instructions above but select either INTERNAL
or EXTERNAL Sync.
NOTE: The CVBS input of the MAXX is equipped with an Input Frame Buffer that allows recording
from non-genlocked sources. No configuration is required to use the frame buffer. Refer to Appendix
D for more information.
