Applications : Discontinuous TimeCode
20 - 466
•In the Jog/Chase page you should uncheck ‘Silent Chasing’. Even if checking this setting would reduce
locking time, you would still have to wait for the Virtual Tape buffers to be filled after Pyramix is locked
before entering Record.
•In the
Layout page Uncheck ‘Generate waveform automatically at clip insertion’
• Create a Pyramix recording project with the same number of Tracks you specified in the
VirtualTapeFor-
mat
application.
• Ensure you select the correct sampling rate, corresponding to your ‘tape’.
• Mount the folder in which the tape has been created.
• Select the tape and in the
Media Manager menu choose Edit > Place. Select ‘Place at Original Time-
Code on Original Track
’ and click OK.
• Select the menu item
View > Zoom > Fit in Window. Your tape should be at its proper location in the
Timeline.
• Now go into the
Project > Information & Settings : Record Settings Page:
• Select the
Media Folder where your tape resides
• Select the
Resolution you specified for your tape
• Select ‘
Virtual Tape’ in the Format box
•Enable
Dubbing Mode
•Check One file per track
•Uncheck Flatten track numbers
•Check Don’t create Playlists
•Uncheck Name is Scene & Take
You should now be able to use Pyramix normally.
Note the Following:
• Any punch-ins will be destructively performed on the Virtual Tape. There is no undo!
• No new Clips will be created for each punch-in, only the underlying tape will be modified.
• Any attempt to punch-in outside the tape will fail.
Known limitations:
• Punching in on fresh parts of the tape (still silent) may result in small clicks at the punch-in points for now.
Fades on Punch-ins in Virtual Tape Mode will be implemented soon.
• For now, there is no waveform support.
Discontinuous TimeCode
Auto-Punch mode allows a whole tape with discontinuous TimeCode to automatically be recorded.
• Set all desired Tracks is auto-punch mode
• Place Mark In at 00:00:00:00 and Mark Out at 23:59:59:24 (default values for a new project)
• Plug LTC Out from the tape machine into Pyramix
• Set Chase mode to HARD CHASE
• Rewind the tape
• Press Play on the tape machine
Each time a valid TC is encountered Pyramix will lock and start recording a new Clip, then stop when the timecode
jumps. A separate media file will be created for each continuous timecode on the tape.
