Using the Grass Valley T2 4K Express is quite straightforward. First, power it on using the single power supply unit. To record or play content, you can use the front - panel transport controls, which are designed to feel like a traditional VTR. For 4K content, switch to 4K mode. Remember, in this mode, you have one channel for either recording or output. For HD or SD content, switch to HD/SD mode where you have one record and two output channels. The software application suite on the front - panel LCD is your go - to for managing media clips. You can select, edit, and trim clips, create playlists, and more. When it comes to storage, the 2 TB HDD gives you plenty of space for your media. But be aware that the FTP transfer rate is limited to keep the playback performance good. For maintenance, keep the device in a clean and dry place. Since it has a single power supply unit, make sure it's working properly. And if you want to use the workstation mode, you can customize the keyboard shortcuts and mouse settings according to your preference. Also, when doing on - the - fly editing, it's easy to perform tasks like trimming and adding markers with comments, but take your time to get the best results.
