Chapter 4, Using the VS4Recorder Pro Application
Recording sessions and timecodes
VS4Recorder Pro includes timecode metadata (see “Viewing VS4Recorder Pro
metadata in Adobe Premiere Pro” on page 60) in every recorded video file for
easy synchronization in Adobe Premiere Pro CC and CS6. The starting timecode
in a video file corresponds to the timecode at the moment when the source
recording was started. You can choose to embed the timecode that is present in
the SDI source, set a
Session timecode, or use System Time (see “Timecode
settings” on page 47). Timecodes are expressed in either drop frame format for
29.97 fps and 59.94 fps sources, or non-drop frame format for 23.98 fps, 24 fps,
25 fps, 29.97 fps, 30 fps, 50 fps and 59.94 fps sources (see “Drop-frame
timecode” on page 50).
Disk space indicator
VS4Recorder Pro provides a disk space indicator in each of the source windows
(see “Source window popover” on page 20). The indicator provides a visual
representation of the available disk space on the source’s specified record path
disk, and displays the approximate remaining record time before the disk is full.
The remaining record time is calculated based on the source’s video format and
current record settings.
For sources that are set to record to the same disk, if none of the corresponding
sources are currently recording, the remaining record time appears for all
sources, and is calculated based on all sources. If one or more of the
corresponding sources are currently recording, the remaining record time is
calculated and shown only for the sources that are recording.
Record status
VS4Recorder Pro includes a Record Status LED and a Dropped-Frame indicator
so that you can quickly view the status of your source recordings.
Record Status LED
VS4Recorder Pro includes a Record Status LED in each of the source windows
(see “Source window” on page 19).
