Window Dub Requirements
Existing Video Signal SYNC I/O can only burn a
window dub onto an existing video signal. This
means that at least one video “source” signal
(from a VTR, nonlinear editing system, or other
video device) must be present at one of the
SYNC I/O video input connectors (Video In or
Video Ref In). When generating a window dub,
the VITC Timing Rule applies (see “VITC Timing
Rule” on page 67.
SYNC I/O Output The signal from the SYNC I/O
Video Out connector must be routed to a video
destination such as another VTR or nonlinear
editing system.
To burn a window dub onto a video signal from Pro
Tools:
1 Choose Setups > Peripherals and click the Syn-
chronization tab.
2 Enable Sync Setup to make the Window Dub
controls available.
3 Click Enable Dub Window.
4 Configure any of the following Window burn
appearance settings: Size, Vertical Position, Hor-
izontal Position, and Color.
Size Sets the relative size of the window dub
(Small or Large).
Ver tical Position Sets the vertical position of the
window dub, relative to the bottom of the video
picture. The choices range from 10% From Bot-
tom to 50% From Bottom, in 10% increments.
Horizontal Position Sets the window dub’s rela-
tive horizontal position within the video pic-
ture. The choices include Extreme Left, Left,
Center, Right and Extreme Right.
Color Sets the color of the time code numbers in
the window dub, and the color of the window
dub’s background. The choices include White
on Black Bkgnd; Black on White Bkgnd; White
on Video Bkgnd; or Black on Video Bkgnd.
(Video Bkgnd means that the window dub’s
background is transparent, so that the time code
numbers are displayed directly on top of the
video signal, without a contrasting background
box.) The default setting is White on Black
Bkgnd.
5 After configuring the dub window settings,
click OK to close the Peripherals window.
Configuring Window Dub from Pro Tools
“10% from Bottom” vertical position is out-
side the standard “safe title” area, which
means it may not be visible on some video
monitors.
The “Extreme” horizontal positions are out-
side the standard “safe title” area, which
means they may not be visible on some
video monitors.
