XML Interchange Format can be generated from Final Cut Pro, or any other application that supports this
format. XML Interchange Format is the file format that Pipeline import/export or capture/playout programs
load from and save in, in order to promote interoperability with other applications. Clip list files can also be
generated and/or edited manually.
For further details, refer to Apple’s documentation on XML Interchange Format:

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
You can control the VTR of the connected device using the following keyboard shortcuts:
Play – Space. Plays the video forward at normal speed until end of tape.
Stop – Shift-K. Stops the deck at the current play point.
Rewind – Shift-J. Plays tape at 2x speed backward until begin of tape.
Fast Forward – . Plays forward at 2x speed.
Step Backward – [ (Left Brace). For each key press (or menu selection), moves one frame back.
Step Forward – ] (Right Brace). For each key press (or menu selection), moves one frame forward.
Go To Start – Command-[ (Left Brace). Moves to start of tape at highest speed.
Go To End – Command-] (Right Brace). Moves to end of tape at highest speed.
Mark In – I. Set the Mark In value to the current point on the tape.
Mark Out – O. Set the Mark Out value to the current point on the tape.
Log – P. Add the current clip to the clip list, including saving all metadata values with it.
Quick Mark – M. Single-stroke feature for logging a clip and setting a new mark in point. Sets the current
point on the tape as the mark out point and logs the clip. The last clip’s mark out point becomes the new
mark in point, so that you only have to execute Quick Mark again to set the out point and log the clip.
CLIP LIST BUTTONS
Mark In. Click to update the Mark In point to the tape’s current timecode for the selected clip.
Duration. Click to disengage the lock (black). The duration is calculated as the end time minus the start
time. While the lock button is disengaged (black), changes to the start time code will cause the end time
code to remain the same, and the duration time code to change. Any changes to the end time code will
similarly cause the start time code to remain the same and the duration time code to change.
Click again to engage the lock (blue). Duration always stays the same.
When the lock button is engaged
(blue), changes to the start or end time code leave the duration time code locked – as is. If you change the
start time code, the end time code will adjust to match the new start time and the locked duration. If you
change the end time code, the start time code will adjust to match the new end time code and the locked
duration.
