Live Edit Decision Lists
Edit Decision Lists are îš¿les used by non-linear editing
(NLE) suites to aid in post-production. Your switcher
can capture EDL data in a îš¿le that you load into your
NLE suite.
The switcher supports the CMX3600 format for
recording EDL îš¿les.
Note: The CMX3600 specification only supports a maximum of
999 events per ME or aux bus. If another event occurs beyond
the 999 limit, a new file is created using the incremental file
number.
To Set Up LiveEDL
1. Press HOME > Attributes > LiveEDL > Set Up
LiveEDL.
2. Select the timecode source you want to use.
• LTC Time Code — the external timecode
signal connected to the LTC port on the back of
the frame. If a signal is not present on the LTC
port this option in not available.
• Internal Time Code — an internally generated
timecode signal starting at 0. This option is not
available if an external LTC source is detected.
• Switcher Time Code — an internally
generated timecode signal starting at the current
time of day set on the switcher. This option is
not available if an external LTC source is
detected.
3. Press Rename File Prefix and enter the name you
want to use for your LiveEDL îš¿le. You have the
option of continually overwriting the same îš¿le, or
using the îš¿le name as a preîš¿x so that a new îš¿le is
created every time.
Note: The file name can only include letters, numbers, and
underscores (_).
4. Toggle Overwrite Pfx on or off to select whether
a LiveEDL îš¿le with the same name is overwritten.
• On — the le is overwritten if it has the same
name.
• Off — a new le is created with a sequential
number appended to the end of the îš¿le name.
Tip: For example, if the file is named LiveEDL and you
have already created it, the switcher will either overwrite
the exiting file (On), or create a new file named
LiveEDL001 (Off).
To Start Capturing EDL Data
Tip: You can create custom controls to start and stop recording

EDL îš¿les.
4. Press Stop Recording.
