For this reason, Record is automatically enabled whenever you press the LIVE button on the 3P-
10 Control Surface (to select incoming live video streams as output).
When recording is enabled, all three incoming a/v streams are continuously captured and stored.
(Typically, each stream might represent a different camera angle.)
Note: For any single session, recording stops automatically after 12 hours.
3.2.1 WHAT IS AN EVENT?
The 3P LAY operator uses the supplied 3P-10 external control surface to mark events. An event
entry (in the Event List) is essentially a digital bookmark pointing to a portion of the recorded
video. Events are created when you mark In and Out Points as a live production progresses.
These In and Out timecode values allow you to isolate interesting segments. Newly-marked
events are successively added to the Master List of the Event Panel for convenient recall.
An event is not merely a clip. Rather, think of it as a bookmarked section of the complete
recording. Each event entry denotes a synchronized time slice of all three video streams. You
can recall and display events instantly. This involves sending the stream from one particular
camera or all three simultaneously to 3P
LAY ’s outputs, according to the Output Mode for the
session.
Events bear another similarity to literal bookmarks. A bookmark is only a convenient reference
to the printed material on the book’s pages – it does not comprise the actual text. Adding or
removing a bookmark does not remove pages from the book.
Likewise, 3P LAY normally captures a complete, uninterrupted record of your production. Just like
bookmarks, the events listed in the Event Panel are pointers to this volume of stored
information. Add and remove events freely with no fear of losing recorded material. You can
even add, remove or reorganize events during recording, or long after your 3P
LAY recording
session ends.
3.3 3P-10 CONTROL SURFACE
A dedicated external 3P LAY control surface (Figure 1) designated 3P-10 provides primary
operational control (see Section 6.2), supplemented by the keyboard.
