58.2.1 Functions

When Etere CensorMX is launched, there are six sections on the main screen: Live In, Editor window, On-Air, Timeline, Library and Hide effects.
The sections are listed in the table below.

• Live In - It displays what is currently recorded (the live feed etc.).
• Editor window - This section allows you to perform censorship for the footage in the "Live In" screen.
• On Air - It displays what is airing on your channel.
• Timeline - This shows the position of the live feed, the editor and on-air.

It also indicates all the edits that have been performed with markers.

• Library - This is the library that contains the replacement clips.
• Hide effects - Use the features provided to hide specific video file footage when displaying on the screen.

• LIVE IN time: The current actual time.
• Start time: It indicates the time when the GTimeShift Recording was started.
• External clip control / Operations in the Timeline: The "External clip control" tab display all external clips in the library.

  The "Operations in Timeline" display the clip's Timeline in play.

• Previous position: It indicates the last position of the clip in play.
  
• Buffer Status: This shows the actual delay compared to Live In Feed.
  

  For the screenshot below, the delay is 9’34”  because the total cut is 26”  (10’ – 26”=9’34”). Where:

  • The ' refer to minutes
  • The " refer to seconds
• Countdown to On-air: This shows the time remaining for the video in the Editor to go on-air.
  
• GOTO: This is used to move the Editor to a certain point.
  
• All align: This moves the Editor align with On Air.
  
• Prev. Change / Next change: Not in use.
  
• Track bar: You can move the position by using this bar. At the ends, indicate the points for minimum and maximum positioning.
  
• Bar under track bar: The Red bar is the portion that has already aired. The Green bar is the editable portion.
  
• MARKIN and MARKOUT: These are used for setting the Marks for the operations. They must not be too close to the On Air time. Note that the minimum is 15 seconds, and there is a check first for the Operations. The value in the centre shows the duration.
  
• Audio Tracks: This button manages the audio tracks in the preview. It managed up to 8 channels, two tracks per channel.
  
• Channels display: The position of the eight audio channels to be managed.
  Note
  All the menu buttons (menubuttons01) located below the Editor only apply to the video seen in the Editor.
  Note
  If the BUFFER STATUS has accumulated a series of CUT beyond the buffer time, e.g. 45 minutes, you should delete the file: Etere.Censormx.Operations_1.txt  in C:\Program Files (x86)\ETERE and restart the application. After that, BUFFER STATUS and REPORT/TOTAL CHANGES will be reset.
  An example of buffer status which has accumulated a series of CUT beyond the buffer time is shown below:
