Preparing to Capture Video
213
If you are capturing SDI, HD-SDI, or DV, for example, from a D1, D5, digital Betacam, DV, or
HD deck, you cannot adjust levels by using the video input controls in your Avid editing
application. If you plan to make adjustments at the source deck, information in this section
regarding the internal Waveform and Vectorscope monitors might be useful.
c
When used with Avid Nitris input/output hardware, Avid Symphony requires that the deck
and the Avid Nitris hardware are genlocked to the same timing source when capturing. For
more information, see “Selecting the Sync Source for Capture” on page 164.
