Capturing Audio and Video
To capture audio and video:
1 Ensure the Capture Tool has been configured
for capturing. (See “Configuring the Capture
Tool” on page 46.)
Media Station|PT can play audio and video
from the same volume while Pro Tools re-
quires audio and video to be stored on sepa-
rate drives. When capturing on a computer
that also has Pro Tools installed, ensure
that you choose different drives for audio
and video.
