2 To open the Capture Tool, choose Tools > Cap-
ture.
3 Ensure that all the reveal triangles on the left
side of the Capture Tool window are pointing
down so that all of the controls are visible.
4 If necessary, click the Capture/Log Mode but-
ton to select Capture mode (CAP).
5 If necessary, enable control of the tape deck by
clicking the Toggle Source button so that it does
not display a circle with a slash.
6 Below the Record button, click the record en-
able buttons for the video and time code inputs.
(V is for video and TC is the time code channel).
7 To capture the clip directly into the Timeline
without affecting the position of any existing
material (analogous to Slip edit in Pro Tools),
click Overwrite.
8 Choose the video input source from the Video
Input pop-up menu.
9 From the Bin pop-up menu, select the bin
where you wish the captured clips to appear.

The TC (time code) button should always
be enabled, even though no time code is be-
ing recorded.
Do not record enable the audio inputs unless
you want to use Media Station|PT instead of
Pro Tools to capture audio.
Capture Tool (Storage controls)
This setting does not affect where the cap-
tured files are stored. All captured media
files are stored in the OMFI Media Files
folder (for OMF media) or Avid MediaFiles
folder (for MXF media) on the volumes se-
lected in the storage pop-up menus. A bin in
Media Station|PT is analogous to the Audio
or MIDI region lists in Pro Tools, except that
a project in Media Station|PT may have an
unlimited number of bins, and clips may be
organized between the bins as best suits the
user.
