Number of frames The Partial restore feature is currently only supported for MXF OP1A and OPATOM operational patterns and only with Iframe only video essences Partial restore of other video essences is not frame accurate The Partial restore procedure for OP1A and OPATOM MXF files differs slightly from other partial restore operations due to the fact that OP1A has only one video essence and one audio essence embedded into a single file while OPATOM is composed of a directory containing at least one video file and several audio files and possibly other directories such as Video Audio Clip etc The operational differences between the Partial restore operation of OP1A and OPATOM is that the procedure for OP1A defines the destination file and the procedure for OPATOM defines the destination directory At the time of this publishing the SDLT 600A has support for OP1A and OPATOM operational patterns procedures only Other operational patterns procedures are planned on future firmware releases Partial Restore of MXF OP1A The Destination file name is the name of the virtual file The edit box for Destination is empty by default and you can enter a relative or absolute path Partial restore File COO03 MXF File top 00 14 59 23 Number of frames 1824 File end 00 16 00 20 Please enter limits to partial restore Starting time code jo0 1 4 59 23 Ending time code 00 1 6 00 20 O Number of frames Destination i
