To capture a single frame:
1 Cue up to the frame you want to capture using the VTR Transport controls or by scrubbing the preview
window.
2 Click Grab.
The captured frame is saved in the Workspace.
3 Click EXIT Input Clip to view the captured frame.
4 If you want to compare the captured frame against the frame in the preview window, load the clip
into the VTR Input module and enable split-screen view.
NOTE If you notice that the previewed image is different from the captured one, edit the Video Input Delay
field found in the Engineering menu and recapture that frame. If the two images now match, the delay is
fine. If they do not match, you need to tweak the Input Delay until they do.
VTR Input Menu Options
The basic VTR Input controls are described as follows.
(a) Device Name box (b) Aspect Ratio box (c) Aspect Ratio field (d) EDL button (e) Current Timecode field (f) Proxy

Device Name box Select the VTR and timing combination to use to capture clips.
Engineering button Opens the engineering menu.
Aspect Ratio box Select the aspect ratio of the clip to capture.
Aspect Ratio field Displays the aspect ratio of the clip to capture. Editable.
Bit Depth box Select the bit depth used to capture the clip.
Scan Mode box Selects how to flag the captured clip: Progressive, Field 1 dominant, or Field 2 dominant.
The flag is only there as a reminder; for example, setting Field 2 does not prevent you from de-interlacing
on Field 1. In most cases, select the option that matches the format you are capturing.
Proxy Only button Enable to capture proxies only. In this case, the high-resolution media is captured,
proxies are generated, but the high-resolution media is discarded. As a result, much storage space is required.
Only available if the current project is configured to use proxies. If your proxies are set to be generated as a
post process in the Engineering menu, you can see an estimated time required for proxies generation in the
message bar. You can abort this process at any time by clicking anywhere on the screen. When you click
the screen, a message appears asking you to confirm the operation. Only the captured media that corresponds
