Exporting your sequence to tape
Exporting your sequence to tape
To export your Adobe Premiere Pro sequence to tape without using device 
control, simply play back your sequence and record the output from any of the 
available outputs on your MXO2 system. If your recorder supports RS-422 
device control, you can export your sequence to tape using Matrox device control 
as explained in “Exporting to tape using Matrox device control” on page 95 or 
“Exporting to tape using Matrox device control (CS6)” on page 96.
Avoiding issues when using Matrox device 
control
Keep the following points in mind when exporting to tape using Matrox device 
control:
• To avoid having discontinuous (broken) time code recorded onto your tape 
when using Matrox device control, set your recorder to generate time code 
internally based on time code already present on the tape (this setting is 
called INT REGEN on some devices). Don’t use free run or external time 
code regeneration mode.
• Because Matrox device control requires a preroll, don’t start the export to 
tape within the first ten seconds on your tape or at a time code less than 
00:00:10:00.
• To avoid repeated frames or broken time code when performing an assemble 
edit using Matrox device control, add ten seconds or more of black video or 
color bars to the end of your sequence.
Exporting to tape using Matrox device control
¦NoteThis section applies to Adobe Premiere Pro CC only. If you’re using 
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, see “Exporting to tape using Matrox device control 
(CS6)” on page 96.
You can record your Adobe Premiere Pro sequence onto tape using Matrox 
device control as follows:
1 Open your project, activate the sequence that you want to export to tape, and 
position the work area bar over the section of the sequence that you want to 
export.
2 If you haven’t already done so, render all sections that are identified with a 
red or yellow render bar.
¦NoteAdobe Premiere Pro will automatically render sections that have a red 
render bar when you start an export to tape, but to avoid having dropped frames 
you must render both the red and yellow sections before performing your 
export to tape.
