RGB).

Optional ITU-R/BT.601 (CCIR 601) digital serial video I/O.
Image Transfer Flexibility
n n n n
Two methods of transferring images between the workstation
and the 2Xtreme are provided:
Ethernet is standard. Pictures can be transferred using TCP/IP
protocol – rcp commands for image transfer and rsh or rlo-
gin commands for control. Refer to Chapter 4 for details
SCSI drivers for SGI Workstations are standard, allowing control
plus fast picture transfer. Transfer images and control 2Xtreme
from within applications that support the 2Xtreme SCSI inter-
face. You can also use the other 2Xtreme command line utilities
or the WSDVCP Virtual Control Panel to transfer files to and
from SGI Workstations and 2Xtreme.
For intensive SCSI use, consider the differential SCSI Board
Option. Software options are available to allow SCSI connection
to Macintosh and PC/NT computers.
Playback Segments
n n n n
To take advantage of WSD/2Xtreme's random access capability, a
playback range (as defined by a marked inpoint and outpoint)
may be defined as a segment and inserted into a segment list.
Each segment has an associated play speed (from -99.999 to
+99.999 times normal play) and direction (either forward or
reverse). The segment list may contain up to 100 segments, and
is saved in non-volatile memory. Segment lists can be edited and
rearranged as desired.
