Media Station|PT Guide52
Digitizing from an EDL
Media Station|PT includes Avid EDL Manager
software, which lets you open an EDL from an-
other editing application, create a Media Sta-
tion|PT sequence from that EDL, then re-digitize
the sequence.
To create a sequence from an EDL, and digitize the
sequence:
1 While Media Station|PT is still running,
launch EDL Manager by choosing Start > All Pro-
grams > Avid > EDL Manager (Windows) or nav-
igating to Applications/Avid EDL Manager
(Mac).
2 Open the EDL to be digitized:
• If the EDL resides on a standard disk, select
File > Open in EDL Manager, and navigate
to the EDL.
• If the EDL is saved on an RT-11 disk in a
CMX, GVG, or high-density GVG
(HDGVG) edit controller format, insert the
RT-11 disk and select File > Read from RT11
Disk.
3 Click the left-pointing arrow in the EDL Man-
ger window. Media Station|PT will become the
active application.
4 Select the bin where you wish to store the new
sequence, and click OK.
5 In Media Station|PT, choose Tools > Capture
to open the Capture Tool.
6 Verify the settings (input, resolution, and
drive settings) for the clips to be digitized. For
more information, see “Configuring the Cap-
ture Tool” on page 46
7 Select the sequence in the bin.
8 Choose Clip > Batch Capture.
Media Station|PT will prompt you to insert the
first tape for the batch capture.
Importing Non-MXF and Non-
OMFI Media Files
Media Station|PT can import many different
types of graphics, audio and video files (such as
QuickTime). On import, new MXF and OMF
media files are created and stored on the speci-
fied volumes. You can select the video resolu-
tion in the Import dialog. Audio resolution is de-
termined by the Audio Settings for the current
project (see “Configuring Audio Settings” on
page 41).
