Symphony performs substantially better with Avid Nitris input/output hardware when it uses
MXF 1:1 video instead of OMF 1:1. The video format used in MXF 1:1 video files is the same as
the native format used by the Nitris hardware, which allows the system to play more streams of
video and render effects faster.
3. Click the Capture tab.
4. Click the Video Resolution menu, and select a video resolution.
The Video Resolution menu contains a list of the available resolutions, which depend on
such factors as the model of your Avid editing application, your Avid input/output hardware,
and your project format.
For HDV projects, no video resolutions are available for capture, because your Avid editing
application automatically selects the correct resolution. For 720p HDV projects,
Avid DNxHD and DVCPRO HD resolutions are listed for other media creation. For 1080
HDV projects, DNxHD-TR resolutions are available for other media creation.
You can restrict the number of video resolutions available to simplify this step. For more
information, see “Disabling Video Resolutions” on page 169.
5. Select a video drive and an audio drive. To select the same drive for both video and audio,
click the Single/Dual Drives Mode button until only a single drive menu opens.

The drive that appears in boldface type has the most available space.
