Capturing Digital Audio in Film Projects
You must capture audio created during an NTSC file-to-tape transfer at a pulldown sample rate.
When capturing from a digital source (such as AES/EBU, ADAT, or Embedded SDI), you must
either configure the deck to transfer at the pulldown rate (as is possible with some audio decks)
or capture the digital source as analog.
Selecting a Resolution in the Capture Tool
The Res (Resolution) menu contains a list of the available resolutions, depending on your project
and the model of your Avid editing application. You can select the resolution in the Capture tool
or in the Media Creation dialog box (see “Selecting Video Resolutions and Media Drives” on
page 167). If you select a resolution in the Capture tool, the Media Creation settings change to
the resolution you selected.
For detailed information on available resolutions in Avid editing applications, see “Resolution
Specifications” on page 1470
