11 Getting Started Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Introduction Getting Started Introduction The VMotion interface main screen, showing edit, transport, and other buttons and controls, SMPTE time code indicator, video display, locator thumbnails and other indicators. VMotion is a video module designed to operate with a variety of digital audio workstations and external 9pin devices. It provides non-linear delivery of video material into an audio or video editing environment and will chase (or generate) LTC. Vmotion also provides video thumbnail locators and will generate the appropriate 9 pin transport commands to locate itself and attached equipment to the selected timecode. It also provides functions for video editing and synchronising video and audio. 11

12 Getting Started Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Introduction VMotion features: Record video from a linear video source such as a VTR. Playback video in-sync with audio from an audio workstation. Access recorded video instantly at any point in the recording (unlike a linear tape machine). Manage multiple video projects easily. Provide visual methods, such as locators, timeline, and an ADR guide text database, to navigate around a video project. Provide ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) guide text onscreen as well as an on-screen cue light (video streamer). Share recorded video on a network in real time. Genlock to house video black. Edit a video project with edit functions similar to those of a digital audio workstation. (e.g. copy, split, top, tail etc.) Export an EDL (Edit Decision List) of any edits made to a program. This allows other material, such as the programme master, to be reconformed easily to match the edits made. Import digital video in a variety of formats, including: VMotion (.vmo), Quicktime (.mov), AVI, Bitmap (.bmp) Export digital video in a variety of formats, including: VMotion (.vmo), Quicktime (.mov), AVI, Bitmap (.bmp) Control tape machines via its 9-pin connectors. Be controlled by digital audio workstations and other Sony 9-pin Protocol controllers. VMotion works by digitising video and storing it on one or more hard disks. It supports fully uncompressed video data for maximum quality, as well as DV25 compression where greater recording times are more important. Uncompressed 8bit YUV occupies about 20 Mbytes of storage per second of video. DV25 compression occupies 3.6 Mbytes of storage per second of video. 12

14 Getting Started Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Introduction About this manual This manual has three main parts: The Getting Started section introduces the VMotion and this manual. The Reference section describe the functions provided by each screen and control in the VMotion interface. The Procedures section give step by step instructions for performing example procedures such as recording and editing. This manual uses a number of conventions, described in this section. To activate VMotion functions, you click buttons and other areas or objects on the screen. If you have a VMotion with a touch screen, you click the buttons by touching them on the screen. If you have a mouse you position the mouse pointer on the object and click the mouse button. The VMotion interface buttons look like: The following notation is used to indicate a button or object to be clicked: [MENU] This means you should click or touch the button marked MENU. A sequence of required buttons is indicated as follows: [MENU] [SHUTDOWN] [EXIT VMotion] Meaning that you should: click the MENU button then click the SHUTDOWN button then click the Exit VMotion button. 14

15 Getting Started Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Introduction Set Up and Preparation Firstly, launch the VMotion software. It may be necessary to set the appropriate frame rate, broadcast format and prepare the disks for storage. Starting VMotion Software VMotion is started by double clicking (with a mouse) or double touching (with a touch screen) the VMotion short-cut on the desktop. Exiting VMotion Software The VMotion software runs on the Windows 2000 operating system which should be shut down before it is powered down. Failure to do so can result in corruption of data. There are two ways to shut down the VMotion: Exit the VMotion software to the Windows 2000 desktop, click: [MENU] [SHUTDOWN] [Exit VMotion]. Then shutdown Windows 2000 by clicking: [START] [SHUT DOWN] The following window appears: Select Shut down, then click OK. 15

16 Getting Started Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Introduction Alternatively, to shutdown the VMotion software and also initiate a Windows 2000 shutdown all at once, click: [MENU] [SHUTDOWN] [Exit and Shutdown]. The VMotion software exits and Windows 2000 shuts down automatically. Shutting down takes approximately 30 seconds. Setting the frame rate It is necessary to select the appropriate frame rate for the project. For step by step instructions, see Frame rate - PAL and NTSC on page 68. Preparing disks The disks used to store video data must be formatted by the Vmotion before they can be used. See Disks on page

17 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Main Screen Reference Main Screen The main screen is where you will probably spend most of your time working with the VMotion; it has a large video playback window and the most commonly used controls on it. 17

18 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Main Screen Main Screen Features: Locators positioned around the edge of the screen. Locators are displayed as thumbnail pictures of the frame at the location.

21 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Main Screen Menu buttons Menu Clicking [menu] recalls the last used function screen. The possible function screens are: Display System Transport Disks Network Shutdown Edit ADR Audio I/O - options and controls to do with the display. - System settings - Transport settings - options and controls for VMotion SCSI disks - options and controls for TEAM Video - Shutdown the VMotion - Video editor - Automated Dialogue Replacement page - Audio input/output, beeps configuration - Input and output settings A menu bar at the bottom of each function screen provides access to other function screens: Each of the function screens is described in a section below. From any of the screens click [RETURN] to return to the Main Screen. Project Click [PROJECT] to display the project screen. This screen provides functions to select, create, delete and name projects and to select a SCSI disk for project storage. Mark When an empty locator is clicked, it captures the current Vmotion location and stores a thumbnail image and the timecode in that locator. If the locator has already been used, Vmotion will locate to the timecode stored in that locator as soon as it is clicked. The [mark] button allows you to overwrite a locator that has already been used: 21

22 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Main Screen 1. Locate Vmotion to the desired timecode 2. Click [MARK]. All locators start flashing 4. Click a locator. Compression Click [COMP] to display the video compression screen, where the video compression settings and audio recording options (on/off) may be selected. The file size of the recording is determined by compression and whether or not audio is recorded with video. Edit Clicking [EDIT] toggles display of the Edit control panel in the top left hand corner of the screen on or off. When the Edit control panel is turned off more locator tiles take its place. EE Clicking [EE] toggles EE mode on/off. In EE mode, any video signal present on the Vmotion input is fed straight through to the output. Use this for viewing a VTR through the VMotion to line up tapes etc. Clicking [EE] again toggles EE mode off again. If the currently open video project is unrecorded (empty), the VMotion automatically switches to EE mode. Arm Clicking [ARM] arms the VMotion to record. Do this immediately prior to recording video. After arming, click the VMotion [Record] button or the Record button on the connected digital audio workstation to initiate video recording. Click [ARM] again (without recording) to disarm the VMotion. If recording from a 9-Pin VTR, also Click the [LOCK] button to lock the recording to the incoming timecode. See Recording on page

23 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Main Screen Locators Locators store timecode positions and also capture a thumbnail picture to provide a visual cue as to what is at each timecode. Once locators have been stored, you can jump instantly to that timecode position by clicking the Locator. Blank Locators appear as a grey tiles. Setting locators Click any blank locator or Click [Mark] then click the locator Locators can be set on-the-fly whilst VMotion is playing or recording. Jumping to a marked location Click the desired locator. VMotion instantly jumps to that stored timecode. Any connected 9-Pin device locked to the VMotion it will also be sent a transport command to locate to the same timecode. Clearing a locator 1. Position the VMotion at the timecode of the locate point you wish to clear - the quickest way to do this is to click the locator. 2. Click a blank locator if one is available. or Click [MARK] and then the locator you wish to clear. Lock Locks the VMotion to the incoming timecode from an external 9-Pin device. This device can be a VTR Slave or a digital audio workstation controller. Lock also syncs the VMotion to incoming LTC if present. The Lock AVSync, for enabling or disabling the VMotion connection to AVSync. See Using VMotion in conjunction with AVSync. on page 85. Prior to locking the VMotion, make sure you have the correct control mode selected in [MENU] [Transport]. This is essential when recording video from a timecode striped VTR tape. See Recording on page 61. When the external 9-Pin device and the Vmotion are locked, they will each follow transport commands made on either one thereby remaining 23

24 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Main Screen in sync. Allow for transport times on linear VTR s. When not locked, they behave independently and may be positioned at different timecodes. SCRN The SCRN button toggles the VMotion display between full screen mode and windowed mode. When in full screen mode, VMotion takes over the entire VGA display. When in windowed mode, VMotion behaves like any other windowed application. It may be moved or resized. When resizing... hold down the <Shift> key to constrain the aspect ratio to the original VMotion aspect ratio, or hold down the <Control> key to constrain the size to the original VMotion size. Timecode Display Indicates the current timecode position of the VMotion. Clicking on the Timecode display brings up the Timecode keypad. Type in the desired Timecode and then press enter. VMotion, and any locked 9-Pin devices, will locate to that frame. This can be useful when say moving clips with the [Edit] [Move] function. Timeline This displays a visual representation of the timeline of the video project. Click or drag anywhere along the timeline and the VMotion will jump instantly to that point. When a video project is edited, the clips representing the edits are visible in the timeline. See Editing on page 62. Filmstrip The timeline can be displayed as a filmstrip along the bottom of the main page. To toggle filmstrip display, click the VMotion logo, next to the Stop button in the Transport control panel. When the filmstrip is active, each frame of video is visible. The currently displayed frame is centred and highlighted in yellow. Click a frame and the VMotion instantly jumps to it. Any edits in the project are visible in the filmstrip as red edges. 24

25 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Main Screen Edit controls These controls allow video editing on the main screen. This is a subset of the controls that appear on the Edit screen. See Editing on page

26 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens Menu Screens Vmotion provides categorised screens for setting options and working with projects. To access these screens click the [MENU] button. Display Screen The display screen provides functions associated with the video display. Jog Mode This specifies whether the VMotion should display a single [field] or the full [frame] (2 fields) whilst jogging. Video originated material, jogging at 2 fields/frame results in jitter because both interlaced fields of the frame are visible. Select 1 field/frame if jitter is noticeable. This control specifies the display mode only when jogging. When playing, the VMotion always displays 2 fields/frame. 26

27 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens Screen Size/Aspect This control specifies the aspect ratio to use for playback. Select either - [4:3] - Standard PAL/NTSC [16:9 Squeeze] - VMotion produces a 16:9 playback window by unscrewing the video [16:9 Crop] - VMotion produces a 16:9 playback window by cutting off the top and bottom of video. This control specifies the display mode only on the VGA screen. The PAL or NTSC output which is connected to a video monitor is not affected by this control. Locator Timecode Window Specifies whether the locators on the main screen should display a timecode window or not. Timecode Window Position Specifies the position of the locator timecode window. Timecode Window Style Specifies various colour styles for the locator timecode window. Burnt in timecode on video output Specifies whether a timecode window is displayed on the external video output signal. TC horizontal position, TC vertical position Specifies the horizontal and vertical position of the timecode window on the external video output. 27

28 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens System Screen The System screens displays technical information and provides functions to set the video standard. Configuration Displays whether VMotion is currently configured for PAL, NTSC or NTSC Setup. Video standard (after restart) This allows you to change the Video standard. Choices are PAL, NTSC or NTSC Setup. In the System menu page, Video Standard section click the PAL, NTSC or NTSC Setup button as required. You must exit and restart VMotion before the selection takes effect. To exit, choose [SHUTDOWN] [Exit VMotion] then start VMotion again from the Windows 2000 desktop. See Frame rate - PAL and NTSC on page

29 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens VMotion software version Displays the currently operating VMotion software version. Operating System Displays the currently installed operating system. COMM card info Displays information about the version and driver of the Comm card. If you are running VMotion in conjunction with AVSync, then this will also display information about the AVSync version. DEP -> VMotion protocol version If the VMotion unit is used in conjunction with a DSPMedia Digital Editing Processor, displays information about the protocol version in use. VMotion Machine ID Specifies the VMotion machine ID. All VMotions within an installation should have unique IDs. This is especially important if you plan to share video projects over a realtime network, or swap removable hard disks. VGA Reduced Bandwidth (uncompressed) This control reduces the bandwidth of the vga video signal, when VMotion is recording uncompressed video. If you notice that VMotion often drops out of record whilst recording uncompressed video, turn this control on. Reduces VGA bandwidth allows greater bandwidth to be allocated to writing the data to the disks. 29

30 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens Transport screen The Transport screen provides access to a number of settings for synchronisation and communication with external 9-Pin devices, VTR slaves, Editing Controllers, Digital Audio Workstations, etc. Please note, when using VMotion in conjunction with AVSync, many of the parameters on this page will be greyed out. In that case, you will find these parameters are adjustable within AVSync. See Using VMotion in conjunction with AVSync. on page 85. Control mode The control mode setting determines the control relationship between Vmotion and other connected devices as well as which connector port Vmotion is to use for timecode. The options are: DspMedia: communication is via the DSPMedia protocol. Used for communication with DSP products such as the DEP. This uses the VTR1 port on the VMotion, and requires an RS422 crossover cable. 30

31 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens 9 pin slave: The VMotion acts as a slave machine for standard Sony 9- Pin protocol. 9 pin Master: The VMotion acts as a master machine for standard Sony 9-Pin protocol. LTC chase: VMotion chases to an incoming LTC (analogue linear time code) signal on the LTC (XLR) port. For details see Control mode and 9 pin RS422 protocol on page 82. Slave VTR Machine Emulation The parameter sets the value of the RS422 protocol Machine ID value. VMotion can emulate one of three RS422 Devices (by returning the appropriate ID). Choices are: BVW-40 BVW-75 DVW-500 The fourth option instructs VMotion to return its own machine ID, (which is 0xF8a3). Master mode tc sense When the VMotion is set as a 9-Pin Master, it is constantly sending the Sony 9pin command Current Time Sense. This parameter sets the field when VMotion makes this poll. The choices are: Field Zero Field One The normal value is field one, but in rare cases a specific VTR will need to be polled in Field Zero for correct timecode sync. Sony driver (slave) kernel mode This parameter controls turns kernel mode [OFF] or [ON]. Kernel mode allows VMotion to operate as a RS422 slave faster and more efficiently. [ON] is the normal setting for this control. Kernel mode may be turned off for diagnostic purposes. Device driver version 95 or greater is required to use kernel mode. If this parameter is greyed out, it indicates you don t have the required driver. Timecode Break Correction 31

32 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens This control turns [OFF] or [ON] the automatic timecode break compensation function. See Timecode Break Correction on page 64. Mystery Parameter Number 1 This specifies the value of mystery parameter Number 1. Record Timecode Offset Normally the timecode associated with video captured by VMotion is accurate. If the timecode associated with video recorded on your VMotion is consistently offset by up to several frames, use this control to compensate. Normally, this control should be set to 0. This parameter can be used to compensate for a known timecode offset in the source video-tape. To determine whether your VMotion is capturing video with accurate timecode, record from a VTR with video timecode window (burnt in timecode) and compare to the timecode shown in the timecode window on the main screen. Playback Advance Normally this control should be set to 0. Use this control to advance or retard playback of the VMotion relative to the external 9-Pin device. You may need to adjust this control to compensate for site-specific signal delays (for example to a video projector). This control only affects normal speed playback. It does not affect the VMotion when it is jogging or paused on a still frame. Audio Overdub Advance Normally this control should be set to 0. Use this control to advance or retard playback of the VMotion relative to the external 9-Pin device, whilst VMotion is audio overdubbing. If you use VMotion to overdub audio, and the audio is consistently out of sync by a number of frames, use this control to compensate. 32

33 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens Generate LTC This determines whether a signal is generated at the LTC output. Turning this off may slightly reduce the load on the processor. Additionally you can choose to generate code always, or only whilst VMotion plays. Some devices may prefer play-only LTC. LTC Generate Play Advance Normally this control should be set to 0. Use this control to advance or retard generation of LTC by the VMotion. You may need to adjust this control to compensate for site-specific signal delays. This control only affects normal speed playback. It does not affect LTC generation when VMotion is jogging or paused on a still frame. LTC Standard This specifies whether incoming and generated code conforms to the SMPTE standard or the EBU standard. LTC Generator Reference This control specifies whether generated LTC should be clocked off the video reference supplied to the LTC reference in connector on the VMotion or from software. Using a supplied video reference will result in more accurate and reliable LTC. To use this parameter, you must be running device driver version 132 or greater. Otherwise this parameter will be greyed out. You must also supply a video reference to the LTC video reference in connector. If your VMotion does not have an LTC video reference in, contact your distributer to have this modification fitted. The LREF indicator (on the main page) indicates whether a valid vsync is being supplied to the LTC video reference in connector. If you fail to supply a video reference and turn this control to LTC video reference in, then no LTC will be generated. External Vtr TBC This specifies whether incoming video is supplied by a VTR which has a timebase corrector on its output (such as a Betacam SP or Digibeta VTR). 33

34 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens VTRs which typically don t have timebase correctors are U-matic and VHS. Disks Screen The Disk screen provides functions for disk management. For disk procedures see Disks on page 70. Selecting a disk Click on the icon of the required disk. All disks available are listed as icons. If the disk is already formatted as a VMotion disk, the colour is yellow and displays the amount of recording time available and a progress bar of how full the disk is. If the disk is not formatted as a VMotion disk, it is green in colour and displays the heading Not a VMotion disk. The windows drive letter of each drive is displayed in the bottom left corner of each icon. 34

35 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens Disk Link This turns disk link [ON] or [OFF]. Disk link allows the seamless recording of video over the break between one disk and another. If disk link is turned on, the VMotion will start recording on the nominated disk. When the disk fills up completely, the VMotion seamlessly switches to another disk. It will continue doing this until all disks are filled up. To implement disk link, VMotion creates an overflow file onto each disk onto which it overflows. When you delete a project that has overflowed, VMotion will deletes any corresponding overflow if the overflow disk is currently on-line. Disk Link Priority This specifies the order in which overflow disks are to be used when Disk link is switched on. Possible choices are: Most space: the disk with the most available space is chosen next. Next SCSI: the disk with a SCSI id next highest to the original nominated disk is chosen next. Lowest SCSI: the disk with the lowest SCSI id is chosen next. Format This formats the currently selected disk. Click this button twice to confirm that you really want to format the selected disk. Formatting erases all data contained on the disk. Network This toggles network access to the currently selected disk on or off. See Networking with Realtime Network on page 80. You need to click this button twice to confirm that you really want to toggle network access to the selected disk. After enabling network access to a disk, you must exit VMotion and restart. 35

36 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens Network screen The network screen provides functions for managing the network status of the VMotion. Network Turns the network [ON] or [OFF]. By default, VMotion will detect if there are any networked devices available and select network on or off automatically as appropriate. You normally do not need to change this parameter ever. The one exception is to re-format a networked device. In that case you would need to switch networking off before you could reformat the drive. See Networking with Realtime Network on page 80. Mode Specifies whether this VMotion is either a master or a slave. Every realtime network requires exactly one master so every other VMotion connected to the realtime network must be a slave. If no master is connected and oper- 36

37 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens ating, realtime networking does not operate. If you change this control, you must exit the VMotion software and restart for changes to take effect. Network address Specifies the network address of this VMotion. All VMotions on a Realtime Network must have unique network addresses. The network address is independent of the VMotion machine ID. If you change the network address, you must exit the VMotion software and restart for changes to take effect. Each VMotion must also have an Unique Machine ID. Locators Specifies whether the locators are shared or local. If they are shared the locators are available to any VMotion on a Realtime Network. If you mark a locator, and another VMotion on the Realtime Network has the same project open, the locator will pop up virtually instantly on the second VMotion. If locators are local, the VMotion has its own private independent locators, not visible or accessible by any other VMotion, even if more than one VMotion has the same project open. Playlist Specifies whether the playlist is shared or local. If the playlist is local then each VMotion has its own independent private playlist, even for the same project. If it is shared you may share and get projects over the Realtime Network. New Recordings appear immediately One VMotion can record into a project while another VMotion on the Realtime Network is playing back the same project. Use this control to configure your VMotion such that the newly recorded clip pops onto the timeline immediately when it has been recorded. See [Latest] on page

39 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens Edit screen and Edit functions The Main Screen [EDIT] button specifies whether the editor control panel appears on the Main Screen. Most editing can be performed on the Main Screen via this panel. Alternatively editing can be performed on the Edit Screen. This section describes the functions of the edit controls. The VMotion editor allows you to establish more than one playlist or video EDL for each video project. This allows you to create multiple versions of the playlist (edits of the video material). You can try out some video edits on an alternate copy of the playlist, and always be able to instantly jump back to the original. The number of playlists allowed for a particular project is effectively unlimited. This screen provides functions for both video editing and multiple playlist manipulation. There are two sets of undo and redo buttons on this menu. The top set, in the playlist control group near the top right of the screen, un-does & re-does multiple playlist manipulation actions, the other set, near the transport buttons un-does and re-does edit actions. 39

40 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens Multiple playlist manipulation controls [Select] After highlighting a particular playlist, clicking [Select] makes that playlist the current one. You may highlight a playlist by: clicking it directly in the list of available playlists scrolling up or down using the scroll up/down buttons sliding the slider (next to the up/down buttons) [Copy] This duplicates the highlighted playlist, and then makes the new playlist the currently selected one. Copying can be undone. [Delete] This deletes the highlighted playlist. Deleting can be undone. [Undo] (playlist control group) This undoes the last multiple playlist action, such as [Copy] or [Delete]. The undo and redo history is limited to four items and is lost when you exit from the Edit Submenu page. [Redo] (playlist control group) This redoes the last undone multiple playlist action. [Export as EDL] Exports the current playlist as a video CMX EDL. You are asked for a filename and location to save the EDL. The EDL will contain all edits on the timeline. 40

41 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens Timeline The graphical strip display along the bottom of the screen is the project time line. Each clip of video is shown as a strip. The clip that is currently playing (selected) is highlighted in yellow, the other clips are green. The locate point (currently playing timecode) is shown as a vertical arrow pointing down onto the current strip. Where clips overlap they stack up on top of each other. The VMotion always plays the clip on the top of the stack. The locate arrow points to the highest clip to help visualise this process. Editing controls The Main Screen Edit controls panel, and the Edit screen Edit controls panel [Edit] If your project consists of only one physical unedited video recording then all editing functions except [Edit] are disabled. Click [Edit] to make it editable and start the editing process. The editing buttons enable as below. [Move] Use this command to move the currently selected clip to a different timecode. Click [MOVE] - the clip becomes highlighted. Move to the required location by using transport controls on the external 9-pin device, the VMotion timecode keypad, or locator marks. Click [PASTE]. 41

42 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens [Copy] Use this command to duplicate the current clip. Click [COPY] - The new clip becomes highlighted. Move to the required insertion location by using transport controls on the external 9-pin device or the VMotion keypad, locators or transport. Click [PASTE]. This does not produce another copy of the video material on the hard disk. It only tells the VMotion to play the same material again when it gets to the copy of the clip. [Paste] Use this command to complete a [MOVE] or [COPY] command. The [Paste] button is only enabled when a moved or copied clip is pending (highlighted). Click [PASTE] - the moved or copied clip is pasted at the current timecode location. [Delete] Use this command to delete the currently selected clip. Locate to the clip you wish to delete using the transport controls on the digital audio workstation or VMotion. Click [DELETE] - The currently selected clip is deleted. This action can be un-done. - Click the edit control [UNDO] button just above the [<<] [<] [>] [>>] buttons to restore the clip the way it was. Deleting the clip does NOT delete the video on the hard disk and this can be retrieved if desired. If you want to release this space (to created more disc space) you need to purge the VMotion disks. 42

43 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens [Rotate] Use this command to change the order that clips stack on top of each other. This affects which one will actually be played when the VMotion gets to that section of the project. Click [ROTATE] to send the topmost clip to the bottom of the stack. The clip immediately below the topmost clip becomes the new active clip. [Revert] Deletes all edits in the current playlist, reverting to the original recording. i.e. all the recorded clips at their original timecode positions. Click [REVERT] to get back the video project the way each clip was first laid in. This effectively un-does any and all edits you have made since the video material was first loaded but only in the current playlist. The edits in other playlists are preserved intact. You can switch to a new playlist before reverting if you want to preserve the current playlist for later use. Copy the playlist to save it and then perform the reversion in the old one. [Top] Use this command to chop off the top (head) of a clip from its beginning to the current timecode point. Locate the point you want as the new top of the clip using the transport controls on the external 9-pin device or the VMotion timecode keypad (click on the timecode display) Click [TOP]. [Untop] Use this command to undo a recent top action. This extends the head of the current clip to its originally recorded full length. Select the clip you want to untop by placing the locate point anywhere within that clip. Click [UNTOP]. 43

44 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens [Split] Use this command to split (chop) a clip into two pieces at the current timecode position. Locate the point you want as the new tail of the clip. Click [SPLIT]. [Tail] Use this command to chop off the tail of a clip from the current locate point to its tail (end). Locate the point you want as the new tail of the clip. Click [TAIL]. [Untail] Use this command to undo a recent tail action. This extends the tail of the current clip to its originally recorded full length. Select the clip you want to untail by placing the locate point anywhere within that clip. Click [UNTAIL]. [Resync] Use this command to reposition the currently selected clip to its originally recorded timecode position. Select the clip you want to resync by placing the locate point anywhere within that clip. Click [RESYNC]. This is like a clip by clip revert function. [Undo] (middle right hand side of screen) Undoes the last edit action. The VMotion provides 10 levels of undo and redo. Click [UNDO] 44

45 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens [Redo] (bottom right hand side of screen) Redoes the last undone edit action. The VMotion provides 10 levels of undo and redo. The undo / redo memory clears when you change from the Edit Screen to the Main Screen or vice versa. Playlist editing and Realtime Network Three buttons are provided for manipulating playlists over a Realtime Network. These buttons are not active unless the network is switched on and running. [Share] Shares the current playlist over the network. The playlist you shared becomes available to all VMotions operating on the network with the same project open. Each VMotion will be notified a playlist is available, and the operator may choose to receive this playlist or not (by Getting it). [Get] Gets a shared playlist over the network. This button does not become active until another VMotion has specifically shared a playlist of the project you are working on. [Latest] One VMotion can record into a project while another VMotion on the Realtime Network is playing back the same project. Use [Latest] to import any newly recorded clips that belong to the project your VMotion has open. [Latest] only adds newly recorded clips. Alternatively, the newly recorded clip can be configured to pop onto the timeline immediately when it has been recorded.

59 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens Compression Screen The Compression screen provides functions for specifying the compression used for video recording. It also allows specification of whether VMotion records audio along with video. Changing the compression setting or enabling/disabling audio does not alter previously recorded video in any way. Opening the Compression screen On the Main Screen, click [COMP] to open to the Compression screen. Specifying compression Inside the compression menu, choose one of the available settings. Both settings describe the compression and approximate available recording time. 59

60 Reference Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Menu Screens Record Channels VMotion is capable of recording audio along with video. VMotion is configured to record audio at Hz, 16 bit, stereo. Recording audio consumes more disk space and requires additional disk bandwidth. When you enable audio recording, the displayed available time reduces, compensating for the additional disk band space required. Compared to video, audio does not require very much disc space. The record channel options are: Video: Only the vision portion of the signal is recorded - i.e. no audio. Video/Audio: Both the vision and the audio are recorded Audio Overdub: Used to record new audio over the old for existing Audio+Video clips. Video only clips cannot be overdubbed i.e. you cannot use this to add audio to a video only clip later. Overdubbing audio cannot be undone - it will permanently overwrite the previous audio. The available recording time is dependent on whether Disk Link is switched on or off. If Disk Link is switched on, available recording time reflects time available on all disks (because VMotion will auto-overflow). If Disk Link is switched off, available recording time reflects time available on the currently selected disk only. The choices for compression are: Uncompressed or 4:1:1 (aka DV25, aka DVCPro 25) compression. Uncompressed is better than broadcast quality (even DigiBetacam uses 2:1 compression) it needs about 20 MegaBytes per Second. DV25 uses a band width of about 3.6 MB/s. Its compression ratio is ~5:1 If your recording requires higher sustained data rates than your selected hard disk can provide, then the VMotion will stop recording. 60

61 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Recording Procedures Recording Put VMotion into Arm if it is not already armed. If controlling or being controlled by an external device, ensure VMotion is locked. If the VMotion is the controlling device, position it at the correct source picture. Play the external device. Wait until VMotion genlocks to the external signal. The VMotion may flash or glitch as it genlocks. Click Record Press Stop to finish recording. Playback To play, click the Play control or press the space bar. To stop, click the Stop control or press the space bar. See also Transport on page 20. You can also control the VMotion by using the transport controls on an external device. For example if the VMotion is controlled by a VTR, it chases any transport changes made on the VTR. Importing & Exporting digital video VMotion can import Quicktime movies (.mov), AVIs (.avi) and Bitmaps (.bmp). AVI files may contain a variety of data types. These types require that the appropriate Quicktime or AVI CODEC (encoder/decoder algorithms) is installed. VMotion can also export Quicktime movies (.mov), AVIs (.avi) and Bitmaps (.bmp). AVI files may contain a variety of data types. These types require that the appropriate Quicktime or AVI CODEC (encoder/decoder algorithms) is installed. Exporting a project creates a movie as the timeline would play out. So even if there are many clips and edits, the exported file will be one continuous stream only. 61

62 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Locating Locating You can locate, or position the video by playing to the required point then stopping, or using the timeline, filmstrip, or locator keypad. You may wish to move a single frame forward or backward, or move between edit points. See Transport on page 20 for the controls for playing, stopping, and moving forward and backward. Use the timeline to select an approximate location from the full extent of the video. See Timeline on page 24. Use the timecode display to locate to a precise timecode. See Timecode Display on page 24. Use the filmstrip to locate the video with frame accuracy. See Filmstrip on page 24. Once you have found a precise location, you can set up a locator to return to it with a single click. See Locators on page 23. Editing You can toggle the Main screen Edit control panel on or off by clicking the [EDIT] button, or pressing the F4 key. You can also edit using the dedicated Edit screen. See Edit screen and Edit functions on page 39. Tailing Where too much of a video program has been recorded and the end needs to be chopped off. This function is called tailing. 1. Locate at the last frame you want to keep. The filmstrip or timecode methods are convenient for precise frame positioning. 2. Turn on the VMotion filmstrip to confirm you are located on the last frame you want to keep 3. Click [TAIL] on the VMotion. You have chopped off the video at the frame after the one at which you are positioned. Moving a recorded segment A recorded segment needs to be moved to a new timecode. 1. Position anywhere within the video clip. 2. Click [MOVE] on the VMotion. The video clip is highlighted. 62

63 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Editing 3. Locate Vmotion to the desired new timecode. The timecode display is a convenient locating method for this purpose. 4. Click [PASTE] 5. The video clip is moved to the new location. Cutting out a scene Where a section of a video clip needs to be removed. 1. Locate to the first frame of the scene. 2. Click [SPLIT] on the VMotion. An edit is place at that point. The split is always made to the left of the frame on which you are located. i.e. the frame you are on in included in the clip after the split. 3. Locate to the last frame of the scene. 4. Step forward one frame, such that you are located on the first frame of the next scene, using the Next Frame control. See Transport on page Click [SPLIT]. The split is made to the left. The new clip can then be moved or deleted as desired. 63

64 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Exporting EDLs Exporting EDLs Export the current playlist as a CMX video EDL by clicking [MENU] [EDIT] [Export as EDL]. You are asked to supply a filename and a location to save the EDL. You may save it onto a floppy disk inserted into the VMotion or onto the VMotion C: hard disk or onto a connected network. This will generate a CMX format EDL accurately indicating all editing you have done on the timeline. This EDL could be used to autoconform a video program master to match the video edits you have done. Example You are finishing the soundtrack for a video program which has (as always) a tight deadline. During the final mixdown the producer receives a phone call that due to legal reasons a specific scene has to be cut from the program. Make the video and audio edits on the VMotion and digital audio workstation respectively. Continue the mixdown. At the end of the session produce a CMX video EDL which is sent to online. The program master can then be reconformed, frame accurately to the edits you have made, according to the EDL. Restripe onto the reconformed master or provide a timecode or 2 pip synchronised stripe out onto say DAT to be sent to the video on-line facility. Timecode Break Correction The VMotion will always record perfectly and frame accurately from professional VTRs such as betacam SP or digital betacam, with a clean striped tape with unbroken control track and code. When recording from tapes with broken timecode however, the break in the timecode could cause errors in recording the video. The VMotion function Timecode Break Correction compensates for any break in timecode detected while recording. Effectively, this function produces one clip for every contiguous piece of solid unbroken timecode. Converting timecode breaks into physical edits has some advantages: 64

65 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Timecode Break Correction You can see where the timecode breaks occurred by looking at the edit timeline. You can modify any clip by editing it. You can UNDO the autogeneration of edits. The process of converting timecode breaks into edits on the timeline is considered to be one single undo-able action. You can REVERT a playlist at any time which replaces the playlist with a copy of all originally recorded clips, without autogeneration of edits. The Timecode Break Correction function also serves another purpose. When recording from VTRs that do not have a timebase corrector (e.g. umatic) any tape damage could cause a break in the sync/timecode signal. Any other non-linear record device would skip a frame because the frame is not there and your recording would be one frame shorter than it should be. VMotion will compensate for the drop in sync/timecode and you will get an edit on the timeline to tell you where it happened. Sometimes the tape damage that causes a skipped frame is fairly minor. However you can determine if it is tape damage that is causing a frame to be dropped because it will occur at the same timecode each time. Using Timecode Break Correction in record /playback Timecode Break Correction is turned off or on in the Transport screen. Click [MENU] [TRANSPORT] [Timecode Break Correction]. You must turn on timecode break correction before you record. After the recording is finished, if the VMotion detected breaks in timecode, it autogenerates one edit for each contiguous chunk of timecode. You will see on the timeline where your code breaks occurred. If you do not want the autogenerated edits, click UNDO Alternatively you can treat each autogenerated edit as any other edit and [MOVE] or [COPY] or [UNTAIL] them etc. At any time click [REVERT] to get a clean copy of the originally recorded video, without any autogenerated edits. 65

66 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 ADR guide text ADR guide text The VMotion ADR guide text is a system for displaying lines of text directly on the video output signal produced by the VMotion. The most common use of this is to help voice artists remember their lines while recording voice over sessions. In combination with the streamer it provides a powerful tool for assisting with recording voice. Example - Providing voice over cue text A voice over artist is having problems reading the exact wording of a line of dialogue. 1. Move to the ADR Screen: [MENU] [ADR] 2. Click [Add] 3. Type the line of dialogue and click [enter]. 4. Locate to approximately 5 seconds before the line of dialogue appears. 5. Click [IN] 6. Optionally also mark an out point 7. Arm the voice track on the digital audio workstation 8. Click [Take] A pass of voice over is recorded straight away, but with the line of text immediately in front of the voice over artist. When finished, simply leave the ADR Submenu page. The cue does not have to be cleared. If another take of the line is needed at some later date, the guide text will appear again. The ADR event database can also be used to easily locate these points in the project at a later time. 66

67 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 ADR guide text Example - Cueing an entire script and locating with the ADR database A script for a short promo video has been prepared offline on a word processor with the starting timecode for each line of text (no out timecodes). 1. Before the session, import the entire script into the ADR Submenu. (Click [IMPORT]) 2. Set the Text Pre Handle control to say 3 seconds 3. Turn ADR Guide Text on, then return to the Home Page. 4. The voice over artist has each line of dialogue appear approximately 3 seconds before he/she is required to start talking. 5. A the end, the producer remembers one line of dialogue starting with the words every day... which wasn't voiced very well. 6. Sort the ADR database by text. Click [Sort Text] 7. Find the required event quickly by looking under e. 8. Set an out point for this event. 9. Click [TAKE] and immediately the system is located at the required position, prerolled and recording. The text cues could be used for other purposes. For example, they can give an audio editor hints or reminders for preparing a soundtrack. A powerful feature of the VMotion ADR system comes from the fact that you can import an event database, with timecodes and descriptions. Hence the event database could be prepared offline on any office computer. For the required format of the text file, see Importing ADR cue lists from a text file on page 87. Many databases and script editing systems can export a text file suitable for importing by VMotion. If you have a specific requirement for importation of a custom format file, please contact AV Media. 67

68 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Frame rate - PAL and NTSC Frame rate - PAL and NTSC The VMotion is switchable to operate in PAL (25 fps) or NTSC (29.97 fps) and both project types can reside on the one VMotion disk without interfering with each other. Before recording video into the VMotion you must correctly configure it for PAL or NTSC. This function is available from the System menu: [MENU] [SYSTEM] In the System menu page, Video Standard section click the Pal, NTSC, or NTSC Setup button as required. You must exit and restart VMotion before the selection takes effect. The VMotion cannot record or play in sync if it is not configured to the same video standard as its 9-Pin controller or 9-Pin Slave. NTSC Setup (also known as NTSC Pedestal or NTSC Japan) is the same as NTSC except for a difference in voltage of the Pedestal part of the video signal. When viewing the video signal on an oscilloscope, the pedestal is the plateau immediately following the Sync level. In NTSC Setup it is 7.5%, In normal NTSC it is 0%. 68

69 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Frame rate - PAL and NTSC If you select NTSC, the VMotion can be run in drop or non drop mode. In some VMotion transport control modes, VMotion detects the drop/non drop status of the external device and switches itself. In other modes you must specify the mode (because VMotion cannot detect the status of the external device). Mode Detection capability DspMedia protocol AUTODETECT Sony 9 pin slave Sony 9 pin master LTC chase Manual AUTODETECT Manual To switch VMotion from Drop to non drop use the DF/NDF switch, which is next to the Lock button You can determine the drop/non-drop setting of the VMotion by looking for the video format indicator (on the VMotion main screen). It indicates either: PAL NTSC non-drop NTSC drop. It is possible to switch a video project from drop to non-drop timecode. Either: Change the digital audio workstation configuration. The VMotion follows the next time you relock the VMotion to the incoming 9- Pin timecode. or Click the DF/NDF switch if VMotion is not locked. All timecode points within the project will change! 69

70 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Disks Disks The VMotion can record onto SCSI hard disks, internal IDE data disks an internal IDE RAID array. a software RAID (using windows striped sets). You require 2 or more identically sized disks. See partitioning a striped set. VMotion can also record onto removable SCSI disks, such as Iomega Jazz. The disks are usually placed into the VMotion rack unit in track pack removable harnesses. Additionally you can attach SCSI disks to a VMotion using the external SCSI connector at the rear of the VMotion. Each SCSI disk connected to the VMotion is identified with a SCSI ID between 1 and 15. All other attached SCSI devices must have an unique SCSI ID between 1 and 15, to avoid SCSI conflicts. The SCSI bus adaptor card will use id 0 or 7 (depending on its configuration). The ID of a SCSI device is set by the Liquid Crystal Display on the Track Pack, or by jumpers on the disk. Refer to documentation from the disk manufacturer. VMotion MUST be shutdown and powered off before inserting or removing SCSI or IDE disks. 70

71 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Disks Preparing Disks for use by VMotion Before a disk can be seen by VMotion, it must be partitioned by Windows Disk Administrator. note Do not FORMAT a data disk from Windows, just partition it. Using Disk Administrator To prepare a SCSI, internal IDE or internal IDE RAID (which appears as a single disk), or to construct a striped set for the first time, use the Windows Disk Administrator: To open the Disk Administrator, on the Windows 2000 Start menu choose: [Settings][Control Panel] In the Control Panel choose: [Administrative Tools] [Computer Management] [Disk Management] The Disk Management window appears: Disks that have not been initialised appear as Unallocated. notes 1. Make sure you format only disks which are listed as unallocated. Do not attempt to format or partition the system disk (C:) nor any other disk which already is formatted and partitioned and already has an associated drive letter. Doing so may delete valuable data and make the system unbootable. 2. If you connect a completely empty new drive, windows disk administrator will ask whether you wish to write a signature to the disk. Writing a signature is a safe operation and is required before you can use the disk with Vmotion. When prompted, select the disk which is to be used with vmotion, and then follow the instructions. 71

72 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Disks 3. If you connect a disk to the vmotion which has previously been attached to another Vmotion or another windows machine - for example a removable scsi disk, the disk may be unavailable and marked as Foreign. Re-activate it by right clicking in the left hand grey area and selecting Import Foreign Disks, and then follow the instructions. 4. You must assign a drive letter to a drive before you are able to use it with Vmotion. [Previous versions of Vmotion software did not require you to do so, however as of Vmotion 1.2 software, a drive letter is required]. 5. Never format Vmotion disks under windows. If windows asks whether you wish to format a Vmotion disk, always answer no! 72

73 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Disks Create a single partition: 1. Click on Unallocated to highlight it 2. Confirm that the disk you wish to partition is a basic disk and not a dynamic disk. If it is a dynamic disk, convert it to a basic by right clicking on the left hand portion of the disk display. 3. Right click on the unallocated partition.then select [Partition][Create]. 3. Click [Next] 4. Select primary partition (not extended partition) then click [Next]. 5. Confirm the maximum partition size is entered, select [Next]. 73

74 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Disks 6. Select Assign a letter and pick a suitable drive letter (E: in this example) then click [Next]. 7. Select Do not format this partition and click [Next]. 8. Click [finish]. 9. Click [OK] You have created a single unformatted partition on the disk. The Unallocated label on your disk changes to Healthy. 74

75 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Disks Create a striped set (RAID): To construct a striped set you will need 2 or more (ideally) identically sized disks. This example will guide you through the construction of a striped set of 2 disks, but the principle will hold true for any number of disks. 1. The disks that will become the striped set should be empty. If they have any existing partition, remove it. Do this by right clicking on the existing partition and select Delete Partition or Delete Volume as appropriate. By doing so, you will delete any existing data on the disks. 2. After doing this, all required disks will be completely empty without any partition or volume. 3. Upgrade all disks to Dynamic. Do this by right clicking on the left hand portion of the disk display, over the word Disk.... Select Upgrade to Dynamic. Select all disks that will form part of the striped set, then press [OK]. 4. Right click on the unallocated partition (the first disk of the striped set). Select Create Volume. 5. Press [NEXT]. 75

76 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Disks 6. Select Striped Volume then click [Next]. 7. Select all additional disks that will form part of the striped set and add them to the selected dynamic disks. 8. Press [Next]. 9. Select Assign a letter and pick a suitable drive letter (E: in this example) then click [Next]. 76

77 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Disks 10. Select Do not format this partition and click [Next]. 11. Click [Finish]. 12. Click [OK]. The partitions of the striped set will change color to indicate that the striped set has been successfully created. 77

78 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Disks Formatting a VMotion disk After partitioning each disk, you need to format each disk to make it a VMotion video disk. This is done from within the VMotion software. Start the VMotion software and choose [MENU] [DISKS] A disk that has not been formatted by VMotion is labelled: Not a VMotion disk Each disk that has already been VMotion formatted indicates the space available in megabytes and minutes. A bar graph indicates how full the disk is. Select a disk you wish to format. Note the SCSI ID of each disk is displayed in the bottom left hand corner of each disk icon corresponds with the required SCSI ID (if the disk is not SCSI, then the SCSI ID will not be applicable). 1. Click [FORMAT] 2. VMotion asks you to confirm. Click [FORMAT] again. 3. VMotion formats the disk 4. Repeat for any additional disks 5. Click [RETURN] to return to the VMotion Main Screen. Disk trouble shooter: BIOS SCSI ID Power on the system and confirm that the SCSI ID of each disk appears on the initial BIOS boot screen. It looks something like this: SCSI ID:LUN NUMBER #:# 3:0-IBMDCAS DRIVE D: (81h) SCSI ID:LUN NUMBER #:# 5:0-IBMDCAS DRIVE 82h One line appears for each SCSI disk. The above display indicates you have 2 SCSI disks installed, one with SCSI ID 3, the other with SCSI ID 5. If one or more disks fail to appear, power down the system (using shutdown), and confirm that: All track packs have been placed into the track pack harness firmly and that the key has been turned on. 78

79 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Disks All disks are cabled correctly. There is a SCSI terminator at the end of the SCSI cable chain. All SCSI IDs are unique. The IDE RAID appears in the BIOS as: FASTRACK 100 tm Lite BIOS Version 1.31 (build 24) Scanning IDE Drives ID Mode Size Track+Mapping Status 1 * M 14594/255/63 Functional The IDE RAID should come preconfigured from AV Media. If it fails to appear in the BIOS contact customer support. 79

80 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Networking with Realtime Net- Networking with Realtime Network AV Media has developed a sophisticated yet operationally simple method of sharing video with 2 or more VMotions connected on a network called Realtime Network. The simplicity of the existing VMotion video recording/playback system is maintained but shared discs becomes available to all VMotions on the network. Network Requirements Operating a Realtime Network requires two or more VMotions and an AV Media Multi port SCSI Raid or Fibre Channel Raid to act as a shared storage device. Setting up network shared disk The shared disk is initialised and formatted in exactly the same way as would any other disk on a VMotion. The network must be switched off and only one machine operating to initialise and format a networked disk. Once formatted and initialised, specify that the disk is to be accessible to the network in the [MENU] [DISKS] section. Choose [MENU] [DISKS], select the required disk, then click [NETWORK] twice. After formating and enabling network access to the disk, Exit VMotion and restart. VMotion will detect the networked disk. Network parameters Each VMotion will automatically detect if a networked device is available and switch on networking if appropriate. Set one VMotion as the network master and every other machine as a slave: [MENU] [NETWORK] - [MASTER] or [SLAVE] The master must be running for any VMotion to access a networked disk Each VMotion must have a unique network address. Go to [MENU] [NETWORK] [Network Address] 80

81 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Networking with Realtime Net- Each VMotion a must have unique machine ID: Go to [MENU] [SYSTEM] [Machine ID] Restart the VMotion software after setting the parameters on each machine Realtime Networks supports one and only one networked device (i.e. RAID Centre) with up to 8* Vmotions connected to it. (* as of software version 1.2. Check with AVMedia about the the capability of current software). Example 1 - Sharing a locator with another operator VMotion #1 records a video program onto the shared disk. After is has been recorded, VMotion #1 starts playing back the video project (for an edit session). VMotion #2 can immediately also playback the same project. Both VMotions choose shared locators - [MENU] [NETWORK] [Share Locators] The operator using VMotion #1 finds an interesting scene in the video project. He then marks the scene with locator #1. He rings up the operator at VMotion #2 and tells her to take a look. Locator #1 has already appeared in VMotion#2 before the operator got the phone call. Curious she has already jumped there and is having a look before she answers the phone Example 2 - Recording a project on one VMotion and simultaneously playing it back on another VMotion #1 records the first 10 minutes of a video program onto the shared disk. Both VMotion #1 and VMotion #2 can playback the first 10 minutes of program immediately. VMotion #1 begins recording the remaining 20 minutes of the video program into the same project as a new clip. While this is happening, VMotion #2 is playing back and using the first 10 minutes for an edit session. When VMotion #1 finished recording, the remaining 20 minutes of program become available to VMotion #2 81

82 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Control mode and 9 pin RS422 straight away provided VMotion #2 has [New Recordings appear immediately] set ON. Control mode and 9 pin RS422 protocol 9 pin RS422 is an industry standard for video and audio machine control. Typically VTRs, edit controllers and digital audio workstations communicate via this protocol. The protocol is sometimes called Sony protocol because Sony invented it, and Sony equipment appeared with this protocol first. The 9 pin refers to the connector used. The electrical signal conforms to the RS422 standard. 9 pin Implementation in VMotion The VMotion interface software includes a parameter called Control Mode. This parameter is available in [MENU][TRANSPORT]. Options are: DSPMedia 9 pin Slave 9 pin Master LTC Chase DSPMedia When the VMotion is set to this option, it responds to DSPMedia DEP-NLV protocol, which is the protocol that NLVs have historically talked to DEPs. When Cabling a VMotion to a DSPMedia DEP, you must connect it with a 9 pin RS422 crossover cable. The wiring for the cross-over cable is included in this document. 9 pin Slave When the VMotion is set to this option, it becomes a Sony 9 pin slave. It behaves in a similar manner to a VTR. To connect the VMotion (acting as a slave) to a Sony 9 pin master device, you would use a 9 pin RS422 crossover cable. 82

83 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Control mode and 9 pin RS422 In this mode the master controls the VMotion. For example you could connect an edit controller to the VMotion in this way. Pressing play on the edit controller would instruct the VMotion to play. 9 pin Master When the VMotion is set to this option, it becomes a Sony 9 pin Master Device, behaving in a similar manner to an edit controller. When Cabling a VMotion (acting as a 9 pin Master) to a Sony 9 pin slave device, you must use a straight through 9 pin cable. In this mode the VMotion issues commands such as Play, Stop, FF, Rewind. Additionally the VMotion constantly polls the slave device for its current timecode and status. Using this information, the VMotion chases the slaved device. In this mode, you can use the VMotion thumbnail locators to control the slave device. On jumping to a locator, the VMotion issues a Cue with Timecode command that causes the controlled slave device to jump to that position. This mode also allows the VMotion to record video from a VTR with timecode. The VMotion is the master device and the VTR is the slave. The VTR may be set to local or remote as needed. To record: 1. Stop the VTR and/or VMotion 2. Arm the VMotion 3. Press play on the VTR (or press play on VMotion and the VTR responds). 4. VMotion then chases the VTR 5. Press record on VMotion To stop recording: Press stop on VMotion or on the VTR LTC Chase VMotion is also equipped with LTC input/output. When VMotion is switched to LTC chase, it will chase to an incoming LTC signal. 83

84 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Control mode and 9 pin RS422 Installation and configuration issues It has always been important to ensure the VMotion has had correct VSync, and with 9 pin this is equally important. If you have a VSync generator, make sure all equipment, including the VSync, receives a VSync signal and the VMotion is set to external reference. If you do not have a VSync generator, use the output of the VMotion to synchronise the other device, for example a VTR. 9 pin RS422 crossover cable Male Female

85 Procedures Vmotion 1.2 r 3 Using VMotion in conjunction Using VMotion in conjunction with AVSync. AVSync is a comprehensive multi-machine synchroniser. AVSync is capable of... - controlling multiple 9pin RS422 machines (as either masters or slaves) simultaneously. - controlling machines via midi control. - reading LTC. - generating LTC. - applying individual offsets. Additionally AVSync interfaces directly to VMotion, and VMotion becomes available to AVSync as a machine panel in the rack. Full details for using AVSync are available in the AVSync manual. To operate VMotion in conjunction with AVSync Make sure that AVSync is installed and licenced. VMotion/AVSync cannot operate without a proper AVSync licence. 2. Start VMotion and AVSync by double clicking on the appropriate icon or shortcut. 3. AVSync starts up, followed by VMotion. VMotion control panel is the first item in the AVSync rack. If you have previously used Vmotion/AVSync then the previous rack configuration is loaded. 85
