Capture Settings: General Tab
Option Description
Stop deck after
capture
When this option is selected, the deck stops when the capture operation is complete.
Pause deck after
capture
When this option is selected, the deck pauses when the capture operation is complete.
Preroll Method Defines the preroll method. For more information, see “Selecting Settings for Preroll
Method and for Capturing Across Timecode Breaks” on page 147.
Force unique clip
names
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application automatically assigns a clip
name based on the bin’s name and ensures this name, or another name you select, is not
already used by any other object in the bin.
Activate bin window
after capture
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application changes the focus from the
Capture Tool window to a bin window after capturing or logging is complete. This lets
you start working in the bin immediately.
Space bar stops
capture
When this option is selected, you can use the space bar to create clip names during the
capturing process. When you press the space bar during a capture operation, your Avid
editing application stops capturing, creates a clip from the captured material, and places
the clip in the active bin.
Capture across
timecode breaks
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application captures sections of
discontinuous timecode on a tape as separate clips. When this option is deselected, your
Avid editing application stops capturing and reports an error when it encounters a
timecode break.
Stop capture if a bad
frame is detected
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application stops capturing if a corrupt
frame is detected. This setting is enabled by default.
Latency for no deck
mode n frames
Compensates for problems that might occur when you capture with external timecode.
For more information, see “Capturing in Satellite Mode or No Device Control” on
page 239.
If you notice that your captured media consistently starts on the wrong frame (usually
one or two frames off), use this option to ensure that capturing starts on the correct
frame. The option is set to zero by default.
This option is not available in software-only configurations.
