Defining your General settings

°To change the setup level of your analog NTSC video on Matrox RT.X100

Xtreme:

1 Choose Project > Project Settings > General.

2 Click the Advanced Settings button.

3 Under Analog Setup (NTSC) on the General page, select one of the

following setup levels. This affects both the analog video input and output.

$ 0 IRE (DV-compliant) Applies a setup level of 0 IRE. You should select

this option only when working with a commercial DV-1394 device that uses

the Japanese analog NTSC setup of 0 IRE. For example, if the video appears

too bright when you play back DV clips on your NTSC monitor, you can

change the setup to 0 IRE to output your DV clips at the correct brightness.

$ 7.5 IRE Applies the standard NTSC setup level of 7.5 IRE.

¦NoteIf your DV-1394 device has a different NTSC setup level for input and

output, you can switch the setup level as needed before capturing clips or

exporting to tape. If you’re not sure which setup level your DV-1394 device

uses for input and output, check with your device’s manufacturer.

4 Click OK to return to the Project Settings dialog box. Your new setup level

will take effect only after you restart your computer.
