In this state the relock of the servo will start a new file where the discontinuity in
the output file would have been.
•
As described above, repeating timecodes are counted as discontinuities. Most VTRs
repeat timecodes when the servo is unlocked; therefore, if Ignore Frames When
Servo is Not Locked is disabled and Create New File on Discontinuity is enabled, the
result may be many single frame files while the servo is unlocked. This will not hap-
pen if Ignore Frames When Servo is Not Locked is enabled.
•
With many VTRs, particularly an SRW-5800, there can be gray frames after the servo
relocks. Timecode for these frames is often invalid. Because the system is only able
to respond to the status the VTR provides, it will not detect and exclude these gray
frames.
•
No two passes of the same section of tape are likely to be identical. This occurs
because the VTR can sometimes take longer than others to lock the servo after the
control track is detected. Therefore, it is important to check the logs to verify
whether the servo was locked while a specific frame was captured.
•
For past users of Telestream's Pipeline tape capture product, enabling all three set-
tings above will provide the cleanest results and the closest to what Pipeline used
to do.
Abort on Discontinuity—Ends the current recording when timecode discontinuity is
detected. Mutually exclusive with Create New File on Discontinuity. See
