Setting Up VTR Emulation
You can configure your Autodesk Lustre 2011 application to emulate a VTR
for output in real time. You control the emulator from the application or
device that sees the Autodesk Lustre 2011 application as a VTR.
The following procedure describes how to configure the hardware for VTR
emulation. Consult the “VTR Emulation” chapter in the Autodesk Lustre 2011
User Guide for more information.
To configure hardware for VTR emulation:
1 Connect the video I/O cables between the devices involved in the VTR
emulation process (out-to-in/in-to-out). Make sure the connections
support the video standard you want to work with.
2 Connect the audio I/O cables between the devices involved in the VTR
emulation process (out-to-in/in-to-out).
NOTE Connect an RS-422 control cable to the serial ports between the
devices used in the VTR emulation process.
NOTE The RS-422 cables for VTR emulation require custom pinouts. See VTR
Emulation RS-422 Control Cables on page 45.
3 Make sure the appropriate video and audio sync setup is in place.
VTR Emulation RS-422 Control Cables
Custom cables are required to control the VTR emulator. The pinouts required
by the cable depend on the workstation and device involved in the VTR
emulation process. The following diagrams depict the control cable pinouts
required for the most common VTR emulation setups.
