Tape To Tape Grading

Using the Pogle Platinum for Tape to Tape colour processing is as simple as working in Film to Tape.

1. Change to Tape to Tape mode.
2. Select which VTR is the source deck for the timecode to drive the list.
3. Route the video signal from the source VTR through the noise reducer and colour corrector and any other devices in the video path.
4. Grade the material as normal.

Tape to Tape mode

By default the Pogle runs in Film To Tape mode, where the telecine provides the source for the pictures and the timecode, this mode can be changed by clicking on the Tape button in the Room Setup window.

Note that when you click on Tape the text will turn white, indicating that the Pogle is now in Tape To Tape mode.

The same Tape button is also in various other panels.

Source Vtr selection

Open the Edit panel. In the Edit panel you will see a Lock button with VTR1 or similar in it. This button indicates which VTR is the source for the timecode to drive the list. Clicking on this button toggles through all the VTR numbers, click on it until the required VTR is displayed.

Now when the TK transport button is selected, the transport buttons will drive the source vtr.

If possible load an EDL to create a list for colour correction.
