Item Description
Audio Choose a setting from the drop-down list to specify the desired
number of channels for capturing SDI-embedded audio.
Multichannel audio capture is available only if supported by
your camera or deck.
Use progressive
segmented frame (psf)
video formats
Select this check box if you want to capture from a device that stores
and transfers progressive-scan frames by dividing fields.
Use 10-bit encoding Select this check box if you want to capture 10-bit source material for
increased color resolution. Source material with gradients in the
background can benefit from 10-bit encoding.
When you use 10-bit video in your project, choose 32-bit floating
point (video levels) from the Pixel format setting on the Video tab of
the Project Properties tab. For more information, see "Setting Project
Properties" on page 53."Setting Project Properties" on page 53.
Do not select this check box if you want to capture with MXF
encoding.
Timecode source Choose a setting from the drop-down list to specify the desired
timecode source.
n 9-Pin Remote – Estimates timecode using the 9-pin RS422
cable from the deck. This format is more prone to errors and
requires more preroll than RP-188.
n RP-188 – Uses SMPTE RP 188 timecode embedded in the
video.
RP-188 is recommended when capturing HD video.
Timecode offset If video capture is not frame accurate, type a value in the box or use
the spin control to adjust timecode.
