Concerning this manual

Thank you for purchasing Panasonic’s ClipCopy. This Panasonic ClipCopy Reference

Manual explains how the ClipCopy application is used.

This reference manual only intends to give detailed information of ClipCopy Ver.2.5.

The functions and restrictions described in this manual may change without notice.

1. INTRODUCTION

Note 1: The News Automation system must be provided separately as it is not included with this application.

1.1 Foreword

The Panasonic newsBYTE/QuickCutter, the world’s first all-in-one type of nonlinear editing

system with a build-in 4X speed VTR, has received high critical praise from the broadcasting

and commercial sectors for its architecture and editing functions. As digital technology con-

tinues to make rapid advances, the demand for developing the kind of systems which inte-

grate on-air servers, archives and News Automation has escalated. It was to meet this

demand that Panasonic developed this application software program to enable

newsBYTE/QuickCutter system expansion.

With this software program, it is now possible to provide a solution which is ideally suited to

archive systems and station automation systems based on new concepts and to which the

component networks that have now become established as part of the infrastructure are

applied.

1.2 ClipCopy Application

The ClipCopy application is an add-on software program which runs in Panasonic’s AJ-DE77

(newsBYTE/QuickCutter) nonlinear editing system.

Use of ClipCopy opens the door to importing DVCPRO format data existing in the video

servers, etc. to newsBYTE/QuickCutter to be used as AV clips for editing and, conversely, to

exporting to the video servers the DVCPRO format data files that correspond to the AV clips

and already edited sequence clips in newsBYTE/QuickCutter.

One special feature is that operations can be linked with a News Automation system (See

Note 1 below.) when exporting clips and files.

1.3 Restrictions On Use

Restriction on transferring clips

As defined by ClipCopy, clips can be transferred in the following ways:

TTransfer from BIN to the video server (=export)

TTransfer from BIN to a local drive (=export)

TTransfer from the video server to BIN (=import)

TTransfer from a local drive to BIN (=import)

No other form of transfer (such as from one BIN to another BIN or from a video server to a

local drive) is possible.

1. INTRODUCTION

Restrictions on names for BINs and clips

The following restrictions apply to the naming of BINs and clips.

TThe following characters can not be used in names: ¥ (yen sign), / (slash), : (colon),

, (comma), ; (semicolon), 2(asterisk), ? (question mark), ‘‘ ’’ (quotation mark), < (less

than), > (greater than), ‘ ’ (space) and | (vertical bar).

TA ‘‘.’’ (period) can not be used at the beginning of a name.

TWhen full-size characters are used for a name, some name may not be displayed correctly

although this depends on the character string.

TDo not use the same name for BINs at the same hierarchical level.

Restrictions on processing during transfer

As a general rule, operations involving the keyboard or mouse must not be performed while

clips are being transferred by ClipCopy. Rather, they should be performed either upon com-

pletion of transfer or after transfer has been aborted.

Restrictions on deleting clips

ClipCopy can be used to delete clips (files) on the video server or local drive but it cannot

delete clips on BINs. To delete such clips, use the newsBYTE/QuickCutter main unit appli-

cation.

1.4 Screen Configuration

As shown in Fig. 1-1, the main window of ClipCopy is composed of the Menu Bar, Tool Bar,

Volume View, List View and Status Bar.

Menu Bar

This bar contains the menus which are used by ClipCopy. It consists of the

[File] menu, [Edit] menu, [View] menu, [Volume] menu, [Tools] menu and [Help] menu.

Tool Bar

This consists of the News Automation Mode which selects the News Automation usage

mode and the Copy and Paste buttons for copying and pasting files and clips.

Volume View

This displays the volumes, namely, the BINs, mounted video servers and local disks.

List View

This displays the clips and files in the volume selected by Volume View.

Status Bar

This displays the ClipCopy statuses.
