Please note:
The CineView Pro XL is now supported using the Vela 2.6.x driver. This also allows the CineView Pro to be used under Windows 2000.
QuickClip™ prefers transport streams. If at all possible, use only transport streams with QuickClip™. A utility is now (ver 1.6+) included in the installation to convert program streams to transport streams (dtps2ts.exe).
Only one type chroma/frame size is supported at a time. Mixing of transport/program streams is allowed but not recommended. Depending on the types of program/transport, errors in playback may occur at the transition points. This may be avoided by using only program streams or only transport streams.
To switch types, remove all the clips from the Clip Bin and VTR TC Space, Restart QuickClip™, Add the new clips and Restart QuickClip™ again. Alternately, Deleting the Clips.log and Default.edl (as well as any backups) will reset the stream type. Multiple Clips.log and Default.edl's may also be maintained for different file types using the LocalConfig utility.
Program streams may pause for one or two frames if used with transport streams. This may be avoided by converting them with dtps2ts.exe.
The VVW MPEG transcoder is not active in this version, therefore, all clips should start and end with valid GOPs. Only full, non-overlapping clips should be added to the time code/VTR emulation space. Trimming clips will cause MPEG distortions at the edit points.
Only initial support for bumping has been implemented. It does work with some controllers, but may not work for all. Long (7 second) pre-rolls are recommended.
Recording functions (batch digitization, record VTR control, external DDR clip control) are present on the interface, but will not work as the CineView Pro/XL are playback-only hardware.
End of life at version 3.0.
