Connecting Video Reference
If an Avid video peripheral is connected to the
Media Composer or Symphony computer, it
must have an appropriate video reference signal
(black burst or tri-level sync).
To connect a video reference signal to your VTR:
 Connect a black burst or house sync output to
a video input on your VTR (preferably a refer-
ence video input).
Setting Sync Lock for
Avid Mojo SDI
When you create a new project with Media Com-
poser connected to an Avid Mojo SDI, Sync Lock
in Media Composer defaults to Internal. It is
recommended that Sync Lock be changed to Ref-
erence to allow the Avid Mojo SDI to lock to ex-
ternal video reference.
This setting will be retained for the duration of
the project, but will need to be reset each time
you start a new project.
To change Sync Lock to Reference:
1 In Media Composer, choose Tools > Video Out-
put Tool.
2 In the Sync Lock pop-up menu, select Refer-
ence
.
