Defining your Capture settings

The Matrox Capture Settings dialog box has pages that you can use to specify

your settings for capturing video and audio in Adobe Premiere Pro on Matrox

Axio.

¦NoteWhen you specify your capture settings on Matrox Axio, VU meters will

be displayed to let you monitor your audio input levels. For more information,

see “Monitoring audio levels for capture” on page 103.

Specifying your video capture settings

Matrox Axio lets you capture your video to various formats depending on your

project’s video format and Matrox Axio hardware. For example, if you’re

working with an SD project (such as NTSC), you can capture to a DV format,

such as DVCPRO, to create .avi files for use in your Premiere Pro projects.

When working with an SD project, you can also choose to capture video to an

.m2v file for DVD authoring using Adobe Encore. These .m2v files are not

supported in your Matrox projects, but are supported in Adobe Encore. For

details about specific limitations when capturing to Matrox .m2v files, see “Notes

about capturing to Matrox .m2v files” on page 104.
