You must be in Deck Offline mode to use Remote Capture. For information on Deck Offline mode,
see “Capturing from a Non-Avid-Controlled Deck” on page 232.
To use Remote Play and Capture, you must connect a supported controller (any controller that
uses Sony
®
serial control protocol) to your system by using a special Avid 9-pin VTR emulation
cable and a serial adapter.

If a message appears stating that the Avid Serial Driver is not installed for Remote Play and
Capture, make sure the correct serial driver is installed on your system. If you are running Avid
Media Browse
™
and using the Remote Play and Capture option, you need to run your Avid
editing application with the Microsoft driver. If you are running your Avid editing application
without Avid Media Browse, you need to install the Avid serial driver.

To open the Remote Play and Capture Settings dialog box:
1. Double-click Remote Play and Capture in the Settings list of the Project window.
The Remote Play and Capture Settings dialog box opens.
2. Click the Mode menu, and select Remote Play, Remote Capture, or Remote Punch-In.
For information about each option, see “Remote Play and Capture Settings” on page 1428.

The Remote Play and Capture command behaves like a Local/Remote switch on a playback
device, with the VTR in Local mode by default when you start your system.
