Capturing Audio and Video
with a Video Satellite System
You can use a video satellite system to capture
audio to Pro Tools and video media to Media
Composer in a single pass.
Before Capturing Audio and
Video
Before capturing audio and video from tape, en-
sure that you have made the following connec-
tions.
For connections with an Avid video peripheral, do
the following:
1 Connect the desired outputs of the video deck
to the corresponding inputs on the video periph-
eral.
2 Connect the audio source to the inputs of your
primary Pro Tools HD audio interface
For more information, see the HD Setup Guide
as well as the guide for your Pro Tools HD audio
interface.
For connections without an Avid video peripheral,
do one of the following:
 For FireWire-based connections, connect the
FireWire cable directly to the Firewire port on
the Media Composer system.
Since video and audio are streamed in one signal
over FireWire, it is not necessary to connect any
audio inputs.
If you are capturing video using Firewire, you
must capture both audio and video into
Media Composer, because a single FireWire ca-
ble provides both video and audio. This audio
can then be exported over to Pro Tools if de-
sired.
