Monitoring File Contents

You can check file contents in the top-of-file picture display of the VTR window.

Displaying File Top Pictures

Select the file that you want to monitor from the file list of the VTR window. Right-click on the file and select Get TOP Thumbnail Picture from the popup menu that appears, or click on the top-of-file picture display. Or click on the thumbnail picture button on the toolbar.

The e-VTR is cued up to the file top, and the first picture in the file appears in the top-of-file picture display. The Get TOP Thumbnail Picture window appears while the img.jpg file is being acquired. You can cancel the picture acquisition while the Get TOP Thumbnail Picture is open. However, if you cancel while the VTR is cuing up, the cancellation takes effect after the top picture is acquired. After the thumbnail picture is saved on the computer, the top picture display changes every time the file selection changes. The captured picture data is discarded when you exit the application or when you eject the cassette.

Monitoring the Video and Audio of Files (e-monitor)

Select the file that you want to monitor from the file list of the VTR window. Right-click on the file and select Preview Monitor from the popup menu that appears. Or click on the Preview Monitor button on the toolbar.

An Preview Monitor window opens with the file name and record entry in its title bar.

Use the VTR control buttons or the shuttle control slider to check the contents of the file.

Notes

•You need to have access privileges for the file to use this command.

•The range which users can monitor is limited to the file range. Video and audio cannot be monitored beyond the file range.

Storing JPEG Data

Thumbnails in the VTR window or pictures displayed on the e-monitor can be saved to the computer as JPEG files. Saved files can then be copied and pasted to other documents, etc.

Right-click on the picture and the Input File Name window appears. Enter the filename and click on OK.
