Logging and Digitizing (Capture)
In Avid Liquid, the Logging Tool is responsible for logging (views) and digitizing (saving to hard disk) A/
V signals or A/V data played via the system’s video and audio interfaces. In the process, clips and Media
Files are generated with specific properties such as mono or stereo, an aspect ratio of 4:3 or 16:9, in a spe-
cific Media Format and in offline or online quality (product-dependent).
The Batch Digitize module permits the automatic digitizing of multiple clips (page 292).
About timecodes:
With regard to tapes in the player, make sure there is a continuous timecode without interruptions,
jumps or repeated TC areas (for example, repeated positioning at 00:00:00.00).
Avid Liquid’s internal Media File management depends on unique Reel (tape) names and a correct and
continuous TC. It is recommended that you either digitize problematic tapes live (for example, with a
system TC, generated by the computer system clock) or first copy to tapes with a clean timecode.
