Player Settings
Settings Tab
This tab can be used for adjusting the technical parameters of the connected devices.
Avid Liquid recognizes three categories of players and differentiates among them based on the protocols
used for remote control of the devices:
Live -
A virtual player that is not controlled.
i.Link DV -
Controlled via the DV protocol (as per the IEEE 1394 standard). Compatible with all the latest
DV and HDV devices.
Betacam -
A control protocol that is processed via the serial interface as per the RS 422 (or RS 232) stan-
dard. More precise than DV i.Link; used in professional environments.
With Windows XP OS it is possible to connect more than one DV device to your computer. All working
DV devices are listed under System Settings > Inputs/Outputs. The device that is selected there
can be
configured here
, in the Player Settings dialogs. If you want to switch to another device, turn to the System
Settings dialog ( page 17).
