Capture operations are performed in the Capture view (ctrl-1, cmd-1)
Capturing on the fly with H.264 Pro Recorder.
Ensure the Project Video Format is set to the format of video you wish to capture.
Connect a video source to an input of the H.264 Pro Recorder. Only connect one video source to H.264 Pro
Recorder so that it can auto-detect which source to use, e.g. SDI, HDMI, component, S-Video or composite
analog video.
If deck control is required, ensure an RS-422 serial cable is connected and “remote” has been selected on the
deck. If an RS-422 cable is not connected, or “remote” is not selected on the deck, the transport controls will be
grayed out and “No Remote” will be displayed in the top right corner of the Video Preview Window.
Enter Reel and Name information into the information area. The Name will be applied to the clip(s) which are
about to be captured.
Before capturing, the audio channels to be captured can be switched on or off via the track enable/disable
buttons. The video track cannot be turned off.
Click on the gray “Capture” button to commence capturing. The button will highlight in red.
To end capture, click on the “Capture” button again. Alternatively, if you decide you don’t wish to save the
captured clip, press the “Esc” key and a message will appear with an option to delete the clip.
