VBI
(DV resolutions
unsupported)
Controls whether your Avid editing application preserves or blanks 5 lines
above each field in NTSC and 8 lines above each field for PAL when you
display a sequence or perform a digital cut. These lines store encoded
information such as closed captioning, edgecodes or key numbers for film
projects, or various interactive or enhanced TV codes.
• Blank: Your Avid editing application blanks the VBI (vertical blanking
interval) information and lets you turn off its display. Your Avid editing
application fills the vertical blanking interval with video black (RGB: 16,
16, 16). This is the default option.
• Preserve: Your Avid editing application preserves the VBI information
for a digital cut (does not change the output signal).
If your facility uses VBI information, you add the VBI information to the
video before you capture the footage. Your Avid editing application
automatically captures VBI information when you capture footage.
c
You cannot preserve VBI information for DV or HD resolutions.
You can only preserve VBI information for JFIF, uncompressed,
and MPEG IMX resolutions.
You should only preserve vertical blanking information if you have a specific
need for it. For more information see “Vertical Blanking Information” on
page 1086.
Your Avid editing application saves the VBI value from session to session.
You can change the value at any time before you perform a digital cut.
