the graph.
7 You can also check the white levels in your color bar pattern. From the
Scope View Settings menu, choose Y Waveform. The gray or white color
bar corresponds to a line on the waveform (usually the first line at the left).
The IRE or mV level of this line should match the type of color bars you are
using. If needed, use the
Brightness and Contrast proc amp controls so
that the proper IRE or mV level is set. For example, when using
NTSC/EIA
75% color bars
, adjust the Brightness control so that the level of IRE for
the gray portion of your color bars is set to 75.
8 Click OK to save your proc amp changes and return to the Project Settings
dialog box.
Running the Audio Capture Drift Detection test
The first time you perform an analog capture in Adobe Premiere, you’ll be
prompted to run the Audio Capture Drift Detection test. This test ensures proper
audio and video synchronization between your sound card and your Matrox
RT.X100 Xtreme hardware during analog captures. Click
Start to run the test (it
will take about five minutes to complete). Once the test is finished, your capture
window will open.
¡ImportantIf you choose not to run the Audio Capture Drift Detection test and
click
Cancel, you won’t be able to perform analog captures in Premiere until you
run the test.
Once you’ve completed the test, you won’t be prompted to run the test again
unless:
• You’ve changed your sound card.
• You have more than one sound card installed in your computer and have
selected a different sound card as your preferred device for sound recording
(capture). For details on how to change your preferred device for sound
recording, see your Windows documentation.
There are, however, several instances in which you’ll want to manually start the
test again:
