For connections with an Avid video peripheral, do
the following:
1 Connect the composite, component, S-Video,
SDI or FireWire cables from the desired outputs
of the video deck to the corresponding inputs
on the video peripheral.
2 Connect the audio source to the inputs of
your primary Pro Tools audio interface
For connections without an Avid video peripheral,
do one of the following:
 For FireWire-based connections, connect the
FireWire cable directly to the Firewire port on
the Media Station system.
Since video and audio are streamed in one signal
via FireWire connections, it is not necessary to
connect any audio inputs.
If you are capturing HD video, the video source
must be connected directly to the
Media Station|PT computer via FireWire (1394)
cable.
For more information, see the Getting Started
guide and the guide for your Pro Tools audio in-
terface.
