Enabling Remote Capture
Before you enable Remote Play and Capture, be sure the controller is properly
connected.
To enable Remote Capture:
1. Double-click Communication (Serial) Ports in the Settings scroll list of
the Project window.
The Communication (Serial) Ports tool opens. See “Changing the Serial
Driver” on page 174.
2. Choose the appropriate port from the Remote Play and Capture pop-up
menu.
3. Close the Communication (Serial) Ports tool. The system saves the setting
as a Site setting, effective for all projects.
4. Double-click Remote Play and Capture in the Settings scroll list of the
Project window.
The Remote Play and Capture Settings dialog box opens.
5. Select Remote Capture from the Mode menu.
6. Select the appropriate device from the Device Code menu.
7. Specify the time (measured in frames) it takes the deck to start playing
from a cued position in the Runup area.
8. Select Clip > Remote Play and Capture when you are ready to use the
system for capturing.
A check mark appears next to the command to indicate that the system is
ready. A yellow outline appears around the Play button in the
Source/Record monitor to indicate that Remote Play and Capture is active.

The Remote Play and Capture command behaves like a Local/Remote switch
on a playback device, with the VTR in Local mode by default when you start
the system.
