Chapter Avid Liquid Installation
Video Inputs
1394 - Choose this option if you connected the selected player via an 1394 input (i.Link DV,
Firewire).
Note for users of Avid Liquid versions equipped with analog signal inputs and outputs: Use the Live
Player to input analog signals.
With analog video inputs there is no remote control via IEEE 1394 possible.
CVBS refers to the cinch connector video input on the break-out box (usually marked yellow).
CVBS (Composite) - Choose this option if you have connected the selected device via the com-
posite input (LIVE player or RS 422).
Y/C (S-video) - Choose this option if you connected the selected players via the S-video input
(LIVE player or RS 422). S-video offers superior quality compared to CVBS.
None - Choose this option to operate the selected device without a video interface.
If you have a
Avid Liquid PRO Box
connected to your system, the selection offers two component
inputs, YUV and RGB. Select according to actual signal input.
Audio Inputs
DV Embedded - Choose this option if you want Avid Liquid to use the audio signal at the DV con-
nector. The video input switches automatically to 1394.
Only for users of Avid Liquid versions equipped with analog signal inputs and outputs:
Ch1-Ch2 - Choose this option if you want Avid Liquid to use the audio signal at the analog audio
connectors (cinch connectors on breakout box).
None - Choose this option to operate the selected device without an audio interface.
If you have a
Avid Liquid PRO Box
connected to your system, you have two additional digital
audio inputs: AES and SPDIF. Select according to actual signal input.
Video Output
These settings concern the actual video outputs of the computer or the breakout box (if connected).
Select the output to which the recording device is connected. This setting will be used in the Record to
Tap e tool.
Entries with a preceding “Liquid:” refer to generic interfaces of the computer, such as a built-in DV
(IEEE 1394) connector.
Audio Output
Assign an audio output to the selected device.
