Recordings
Pivot User Interface
Pivot is a Windows-based controller for the FastServe | Live Edit Server, used to accelerate and
support workflows. Multiple users can login simultaneously to facilitate production tasks such as
initializing recording, NetStream, creating and exporting selected footage.
You can tag clips with metadata tags, which can be searched for. Pivot also facilitates management of
file transfers.
Continuous recording can be started or carried out even if there is no signal from the inputs. The
recorded footage will be entirely black.
Recording with FastServe | Live Edit can also be used in an Avid Interplay | Capture workflow.
Interplay | Capture swiftly and accurately manages instant, scheduled, and recurring recordings,
providing rapid access to the media and metadata. For more information on Interplay | Capture, see
the Avid website.
