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 MAXX 6T. 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 (Figure

). 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:

From the main menu bar select EDIT->CONFIGURE. The screen of Figure 7
appears. Select the TIMING option.

Select EXTERNAL as the sync source.

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.

If necessary set the LINES and SUB-PELS settings. See System Timing on page 66.

About Genlock Signal Quality

A genlock signal connected to the MAXX 6T must conform to the SMPTE318M standard or EBU
Technical Standard N14-1998. 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 6T 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.
