MAKING A RECORDING FROM THE GUI
Video recordings are made using the Transport View of Channel 1 or Channel 3. Channels 1 and
3 can record or play back clips but cannot do both at the same time. Channels 2 and 4 are
playback only. Follow these steps to record a clip on MAXX 2400. Note that most of the
configuration setting steps can be skipped once an established workflow is in place. The example
uses Channel 1. The steps work identically on Channel 3, the other record-capable channel.
Record Configuration Options
Set Channel 1 to the Transport View
If necessary, set channel 1 to the Transport View ( Figure
8 ). 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 10
appears. Select the TIMING option.
B. Select EXTERNAL as the sync source.
C. Check that the front panel 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 69.
About Genlock Signal Quality
A genlock signal connected to the MAXX 2400 must conform to the SMPTE 318M 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: MAXX 2400 is equipped with Input Frame Buffers on the CVBS inputs that allow
recording from non-genlocked sources. No configuration is required to use the frame buffer. Refer
to Appendix D for more information.
