Known Limitations - Merging Pyramix 4.3 User Manual

• In the Jog/Chase page you should uncheck 'Silent Chasing'. Even if checking this setting would
reduce locking time, you would still have to wait for the Virtual Tape buffers to be filled after Pyramix
is locked before entering Record.
• In the Layout page Uncheck 'Generate waveform automatically at clip insertion'
• Create a Pyramix recording project with the same number of tracks you specified in the Virtual-
TapeFormat application.
• Ensure you select the correct sampling rate, corresponding to your 'tape'.
• Mount the folder in which the tape has been created.
• Select the tape and in the Media Manager menu choose Edit > Place. Select 'Place at Original-
TimeCode on Original Track' and click OK.
• Select the menu item View > Zoom > Fit in Window. Your tape should be at its proper location in
the Timeline.
• Now go into the Project > Information & Settings : Record Settings Page:
• Select the Media Folder where your tape resides
• Select the Resolution you specified for your tape
• Select 'Virtual Tape' in the Format box
• Enable Dubbing Mode
• Check One file per track
• Uncheck Flatten track numbers
• Check Don't create Playlists
• Uncheck Name is Scene & Take
You should now be able to use Pyramix normally.
Note the Following:
• Any punch-ins will be destructively performed on the Virtual Tape. There is no undo!
• No new clips will be created for each punch-in, only the underlying tape will be modified.
• Any attempt to punch-in outside the tape will fail.

Known limitations:

• Punching in on fresh parts of the tape (still silent) may result in small clicks at the punch-in points for
now. Fades on Punch-ins in Virtual Tape Mode will be implemented soon.
• For now, there is no waveform support.
