Continuous Play Modes
n n n n
2Xtreme offers two continuous-play modes: "Loop," and "Ping
Pong," which are active in Normal, Segment, and Cine play
operation. In Segment Play the In and Out points are defined as
either Segment IDs or as points on the Segment List Timeline.
The Loop mode allows continuous replay of a defined range of
images, in either forward or reverse directions.
The Ping Pong mode allows continuous replay of a defined
range of images by playing from start to finish, then from finish
to start in continuous repetition.
Timecode
n n n n
The 2Xtreme internal disk timeline starts at zero (00:00) and
increments to the maximum record capacity of the disk array.
You can choose between timecode display (hours:minutes:sec-
onds:frames) or absolute "frames" display (0 to the maximum
number of frames storable on your array). You can offset the
timecode range to align 2Xtreme material to a Source tape.
Macros
n n n n
Keystroke operational sequences can be stored into one of nine
on-line "macros." Each macro can define up to 50 keystrokes.
Once stored, macro sequences can be played locally or triggered
by GPI input. Macros are saved in non-volatile memory. Macros
eliminate the need for repeated button presses and simplify
repetitive or complex procedures.
Fast SCSI mode feature
n n n n
2Xtreme architecture is optimized to provide very fast SCSI
transfer speeds. For example, when transferring images from
2Xtreme to memory on the SGI O2 workstation, we achieve real
time (30 frame-per-second) transfer rates.
