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 “Live Capturing with External Timecode” on page 264.
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.
Ignore Detected
Media Read Errors
When this option is selected, capture accuracy improves, especially on tapes that appear
to be experiencing a lot of dropouts.
Capture a single
video frame only
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application captures a single frame of
video from your clip. When you click the Record button, your Avid editing application
captures the currently displayed frame.
Ask before discarding
a canceled clip
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application lets you choose whether to
discard the canceled clip, keep it, or try again.
Ask for name when a
new tape is seen
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application asks you for a name when it
detects a new tape.
Display incoming
video in the client
monitor
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application displays incoming video in
the Client monitor as soon as you open the Capture tool.
Pause deck while
logging
When this option is selected, the deck pauses after you set an OUT point while you log
clips. This gives you time to type the name of the clip. For more information, see
“Logging Directly into a Bin” on page 138. When this option is deselected, the camera
or deck continues playing after you set an OUT point.
