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 A/V Tools. The settings available
are based on your editing video format and your input source (video is always
captured to your selected editing video format). For a list of the supported
capture formats, see Appendix C, “Matrox MXO2 Supported Input and Capture
Formats.” For a list of the supported video output formats for monitoring the
video that you’re capturing, see “Supported video output formats for monitoring”
on page 311.
¦NoteWhen you specify your capture settings in A/V Tools, VU meters will be
displayed to let you monitor your audio input levels. For more information, see
“Monitoring audio levels for capture” on page 190.
Specifying your video capture settings
You can capture video to MPEG-2 I-frame or uncompressed format, depending
on your selected editing video format and source video format. For example, you
can choose to capture analog NTSC clips to Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame .avi files.
