disk type.

3 Click OK to save your preferences.

again.

Defining your General settings

The Matrox Advanced Settings dialog box has several pages that you can use

to specify various settings for editing in Adobe Premiere Pro on Matrox RT.X.

When you select an RT.X project preset, such as

Matrox DV and DVCAM

Standard

, your project’s Editing Mode is automatically set to Matrox RT.X,

and the aspect ratio for editing is set accordingly (4:3 for the standard TV screen

format, or 16:9 for the widescreen format).

°To specify your General settings on Matrox RT.X:

1 Choose Project > Project Settings > General and click the Playback

Settings

button. By default, the General tab is displayed.

2 Under Analog Setup (NTSC), select the setup level you want for your

NTSC analog video. For example, select

0 IRE (DV-compliant) when using

DV-1394 devices that follow the Japanese NTSC standard. For details, see

“Selecting your NTSC setup level for analog video” on page 8.
