  • Capture Enable: Enables or disables the clip writer functionality. The main use is to give control over host memory resources. When the clip writer functionality is not needed then the clip out channel does not need to be allocated.

  • Pipeline Size: Controls the number of frames that the clip writer uses to handle a file. It is recommended to leave the default value.

  • Default Profile: Contains a default profile that can be loaded on request, with the command RENDERER*VIDEO*CLIPOUT*1*PROFILE APPLY. Example:

    # the <self> placeholder gets replaced with the proper RENDERER*VIDEO*CLIPOUT*1
    ClipOut1.profile.default_1 = <self>*CREATE VIDEO_SET On
    ClipOut1.profile.default_2 = <self>*RESOLUTION VIDEO_SET 0 0
    ClipOut1.profile.default_3 = <self>*CONTAINER VIDEO_SET XDCAM_MXF
    ClipOut1.profile.default_4 = <self>*CODEC VIDEO_SET 22
    ClipOut1.profile.default_5 = <self>*OPTION VIDEO_SET AUDIO ch=8
    ClipOut1.profile.default_6 = <self>*OPTION VIDEO_SET TC startTC=10:00:00:00
    ClipOut1.profile.default_7 = <self>*NAME SET d:/out/<base_scene2_name>/<clip_name>
