If you change the settings, the settings in the Video Input tool or in the Audio Project Settings dialog
box automatically change to the settings you select.
Detecting a Valid or Locked Sync Signal
On systems using Avid input/output hardware, the Capture tool uses an icon to indicate if the sync
source you are using is valid and locked. The icon appears in the message bar of the Capture tool.
• Video Lock icon: When you select a video track in the Capture tool, the Video Lock icon is
displayed. If the current source has a valid video signal and your Avid input/output hardware can
lock to it, the icon is displayed in green. If there is no valid signal, the icon is displayed in black.
• Ref Lock icon: When you select only audio tracks (or if no tracks are selected) in the Capture
tool, the Ref Lock icon is displayed. If there is a valid reference signal and your Avid input/
output hardware can lock to it, the icon is displayed as a green ring. If there is no valid signal, the
icon is displayed in black.

The Ref Lock icon also appears in the Digital Cut tool.
For more information, see Selecting the Sync Source for Output.
Setting the Pulldown Switch
If you are capturing sound created during an NTSC film-to-tape transfer, you need to set the
pulldown switch before you begin capturing. If you are capturing picture only, you do not need to set
the switch.
If you are working in a 23.976p project, the pulldown switch is not necessary and does not appear.
n
Ensure your film preferences are set properly. For more information, see “Film Project Pulldown and
Transfer Settings” on page 142 and “Capturing Digital Audio in Film Projects” on page 143.
To set the pulldown switch:
t Click the Pulldown button in the Capture tool.
When the pulldown switch is off, the button is inactive (gray), and a label explains that audio will
be captured (sampled) at the same speed at which it was recorded (1.00).
When the pulldown switch is on a label explains that you can capture audio sampled at 0.99
percent of its recorded speed (referenced to NTSC video), to match the slowdown rate at which
the footage was transferred.
