Using the settings on the Ingest tab you can ingest material for color enhancement or as an offline
reference to check the EDL conform of the hi-res material. DaVinci Resolve stores these ingested
images as dpx files. To ingest material into DaVinci Resolve, first verify that the deck I/O settings within
the Configuration screen match the standard for the deck and videotape that has been connected. You
should also verify that the conform rate set on the Config screen is also set to match the incoming video
rate.Next,ontheDeckscreen,selecttheIngesttabandthenclickonthe‘Connect’buttonfoundjust
