Powerware Model V-2000B Manuale Utente

Basic Operations = 31 

The graphic user interface is used to control transport operations such as play, stop, record, 

and basic head and tail trimming.  These functions are found in the Clip Transport window for 

each channel.  Channel 1 is both a Record and Play channel, while channels 2 and 3 are playout 

only.  Each transport window has its own file menu, which is used to locate and play existing clips, 
or to create new clips.  (Refer to Figure 5, below.)  The graphical layout is similar for each channel, 

except that only Channel 1 also contains Record and E-E buttons. 

From the main menu bar, select Transport, then select the channel number to be 

controlled.  From the dropdown menu, select Clip or Playlist.  Up to three Channel Transport 
Windows may be opened at once, one per server channel.  The Window menu may be used to 

arrange the channel windows on the screen.  Windows may also be arranged manually by using 

the mouse and standard window sizing controls. 

The server will establish a connection to control the channel when its channel window is 

opened.  A message, “Connected to host” should appear in the bottom status bar of the main 

window.  If the Image Server program has not started because the system is busy, the message 

“Connection to Host Refused” will appear.  This is usually a temporary condition that will resolve 

itself without intervention. 

Each Clip Transport window includes a main menu bar, status bar, current clip name, a 

large current time code display, and the standard transport controls PLAY, STOP, FAST 

FORWARD, REWIND, LOOP, EJECT and a shuttle slider.  Channel 1 also provides REC and E-E.   

A number of direct-action buttons are also provided: Go To Head Point (|<- ), Go To Tail 

Point (->| ), JOG+ and JOG-.  An edit region provides Mark In and Mark Out entry buttons, and 
time code displays reflecting these positions.  Review Clip (|<-->|) and Review Out (->|) buttons 

provide a means to audition an entire edited clip, or just its ending.
