TM
- overview
A unique feature to Masterpiece is that the Stores functionality is now capable of storing audio
as well as video, the Audio Store function is known as “ClipTrax “. The audio and video data in an
individual Store are kept in separate areas of memory and can be manipulated independently
of each other (described later in this section).
ClipTrax can be used for example as an Audio accompaniment on a general background, or as a
voice over.
Audio can be output to any of the up to 12 outputs as “Embedded Audio” this is setup in the
Eng Config - Output Setup, where the user turns the “HANC/VANC” function On for an output
to pass audio.
Also make sure to enable the “ANC From Source” parameter, this will allow ancillary data to be
passed through the system for the original source material.
The audio information is output as AES 8 channel audio with video, which is output as SDI. The
ancillary audio can also be passed via the Store functionality, which is the ClipTrax option, the
embedded ClipTrax audio can then be passed to the mainframe outputs.
The audio or audio and video can be grabbed from an imported Clip, and then placed in one of
the available Stores. Here the audio and video can be manipulated separately to build a clip or
the audio can be combined with video in another Store to build a clip.
Audio can be imported using the Filing System Import/Export option, from a memory device,
and placing the imported audio.
If imported using a memory device, the file format must be a.WAV file with the following rules
applied: 48kHz, 24 bit, that can contain up to 8 channels of audio.
The files can be can loaded or saved maintaining the Audio or Video in a Clip.
