Video output to DV device
Video output on a DV device: This option displays your arranger view on your
TV via your DV camera. This is useful if your graphics card doesn't have a
TV output. However, since your PC must then compress the video signal in
real time in DV-AVI format and in addition to processing all real-time effects,
so you need to have a powerful PC for jitter-free playback. Even if your
computer is not particularly powerful, you can still use this function to see
how your video looks on your TV screen, since the analog video output
signal of a good DV camera is better than the TV output of an average
graphics card.
Playback in the Arranger/Preview and playback in video recorder
You can
set the playback mode separately for the arranger (including all
preview windows and effect dialogs), and the preview monitors during
recording and in the video recorder.
Video mode
Standard playback (video for windows): This is the standard mode that
functions on all systems.
Direct 3D (hardware mixer): This mode provides an extreme increase in
speed by letting the mixing, many effects, and various transitions be
calculated directly on the graphics card. Depending on the graphics card,
performance can increase by 300%. The graphics card will not be used
during export.
