descending order by clicking the column header bar to toggle the setting.

The recording process begins with naming the new clip.  The New menu choice opens 

a dialog box in which a new clip may be named (Figure 4).  Clip names can include 

any alphanumeric ASCII character, up to 32 characters. 

Note: File naming is case sensitive.  Upper case letters sort before lower case.  The 

name FILE sorts in the order shown, based on differing capitalization:  FILE, File, fiLe, 

and file. 

The file dialog box includes an advisory message labeled 

.  When this 

figure becomes high, it is wise to consider deleting unnecessary files from the drive.

After entering a clip name, choose Create to create a new clip file.  The Image Server 

will place itself in Record-Ready mode.  If the server was previously in the Play -Ready 

mode, a brief pause will occur.  The channel status message will report “Ready” and 

the REC button will become functional.   

Refer to the following main section titled Recording for more information on setting up 

and making recordings. 

Open 
In the Play-Ready mode, the Open command presents a window from which a clip 
may be selected (Figure 7).  A new selection closes the previously open clip, and the 

newly selected clip becomes ready for playout or trimming. 

Refer to the following main section titled Playing a Clip for more information on that 

subject.
