Chapter 5, Defining Your Adobe Premiere Settings
Selecting your DV-1394 settings
On Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme, you can define various settings for working with
DV-1394 devices, such as which DV stereo streams you’d like to capture, and the
NTSC time code format of your DV tapes.
°To select your DV-1394 settings:
1 Choose Project > Project Settings > General.
2 Click the Advanced Settings button, then click the DV-1394 tab.

viewfinder and on your NTSC or PAL monitor (assuming you’ve connected
the analog video output of your DV-1394 device to your video monitor).

DV-1394 export to tape, you’ll need to restart your computer before starting
the export to tape again.
