Chapter 6 Input
Stereo or Mono (I)
Whether an audio clip is logged and digitized as “stereo” or “mono” has a decisive effect on audio editing
in Avid Liquid.
Click this button to switch between Mono (single ring) and Stereo (engaged rings).
Also see “Stereo or Mono?” on page 114 or for detailed information on this topic, see “Stereo and Mono,
Panorama and Balance” on page 9.
4:3 or 16:9 (I)
For analog video input only: Select the appropriate aspect ratio for the source material.
Selecting a Media Format/Codec Preset (J)
List of Media Formats (sample)
Here you can define the format in which the Media Files are digitized (or captured), in other words,
determine the codec to be used (if any).
Depending on your editing system and the options installed, and selected signal inputs, the list box con-
tains a varying selection of Media Formats or Codec Presets. If you read Native Transfer [format], this
means: The incoming signal will be transferred bit by bit, unaltered by any codec. In all other cases
(except Uncompressed) a codec will be involved in the capture process - for example when an analog sig-
nal is fed. Native Transfer is restricted to certain inputs and is not available with analog inputs.
The icon
on the left in the list box takes you directly to the Codec Presets (Edit > Control Panel > Site), but
only if this is a supported feature of the selected Media Format or codec.
For more information on how to create a custom Media Format, see “Define Codec Presets” on page 130.
