include the Pro-Pack.
The Casablanca Claro does not provide real-time
effects. You do, of course, have the range of
effects described in the SMART EDIT manual at
your disposal, but they must all be computed.
Image processing: For information on the
functions in this menu, please read Chapter
5.8 of the SMART EDIT manual. Please note
that the "Scene" and "Full Size" buttons are
not available on the Casablanca Claro, since
the system does not include the Pro-Pack as
standard.
Titling: For information on the functions in this
menu, please read Chapter 5.9 of the SMART
EDIT manual. Please note that the "Scene" and
"Full Size" buttons are not available on the
Casablanca Claro, since the system does not
include the Pro-Pack as standard.
Record, Edit: For information on the functions
in this menu, please read Chapter 5.10 of the
SMART EDIT manual. The "Input" setting on the
Casablanca Claro, however, has this distinctive
feature: you have the choice between "Line In",
"Microphone" and "DV".
Audio Mix: For information on the functions
in this menu, please read Chapter 5.11 of the
SMART EDIT manual.
The Casablanca Claro allows you to select from
three different audio tracks (original sound,
commentary and music track) – you can,
however, extend the number of audio tracks to
ten using the "Pro-Pack" add-on software.

5. Card Reader

A card reader is integrated into the front of your
system. The card reader also has a USB port
and supports all popular memory cards used in
digital cameras.
Furthermore, the "Card Drive" software that you
need for this is included and is already installed
on the system (see "System settings", "Install
product").
To open the front cover of the card reader, press
down on the bumpy area at the top right so that
the flap opens outwards. You can now insert
your memory card into the relevant slot – when
doing so, make sure the card is facing in the
proper direction. To find out how to then import
photos from the memory card or export photos
from the Casablanca Claro onto the memory
card, please read Chapter 6 "Photo transfer".

6. Photo-Transfer

The included software "Photo-Transfer" is
listed alphabetically in the "Edit" menu under
"Special". After clicking onto "Ok" you will see
the following four buttons:
• Import from photo memory card
Use this menu to import individual photos or
all photos from the photo memory card to the
Casablanca as a scene.
The photos on the photo memory card are
shown in thumbnail format in the menu,
allowing you to see 18 pictures at the same time.
The following functions are available:
- "Memory card" allows you to choose the
memory card, from which you want to import
the pictures to your Casablanca.
- "Length": Here you can use a slider control
to select the length of the scene that is to be
created from the photo.
- "Rotate" determines the rotation of the image
during import. The photo can be rotated 90° to
the left or the right.
- "Picture information" opens a new window
with information about the selected photo.
- "Preview" opens a menu for viewing an
enlargement of the selected photo.
- "Cancel" closes the menu without carrying out
a function.
- "All" creates a new scene for each photo on
the photo memory card.
- "Ok" creates a new scene for the selected
photo; the new scene will appear in the scene
pool after the currently active scene.
To avoid distortion, the pictures are loaded
into the scene in accordance with their aspect
ratio. The 16:9 picture format is also supported.
If the format of the imported picture does not
match the aspect ratio of the television set or TV
monitor, then the unused screen area is masked
in black.
