MOTU VIDEO SETUP

PLAYBACK

The Playback tab (Figure 6-27) provides settings

that apply to video playback from Final Cut Pro (as

opposed to capturing). Therefore, these settings

relate to the current settings in Final Cut and its

timeline.

The playback signal path

When you click the Playback tab, the signal path

diagram displays settings for playback from Final

Cut Pro, as explained earlier in “Playback signal

path” on page 42.

Playback Clock Source

In Capture or Convert modes, the V4HD resolves

to the video signal being received from the

currently chosen input in the Video Source menu

(Figure 6-3 and Figure 6-5).

In Playback mode, you can specify the timing

reference for the V4HD in the Playback Clock

Source menu (Figure 6-27). Four choices are

provided.

Figure 6-28: Playback Clock Source menu.

Internal

Choose Internal (Figure 6-28) to make the V4HD

resolve to its own internal clock. This setting is best

when you do not need to resolve the V4HD to

house sync (blackburst).

REF in — Bi-level (SD)

Choose REF in — Bi-level (SD) (Figure 6-28) when

you wish to resolve the V4HD to an SD clock

source connected to its VIDEO REF input on the

rear panel. Use this setting to resolve the V4HD to

house sync (blackburst).

REF in — Tri-level (HD)

Choose REF in — Tri-level (HD) (Figure 6-28)

when you wish to resolve the V4HD to an HD clock

source connected to its VIDEO REF input on the

rear panel.

Selected Input

Choose Selected Input (Figure 6-28) when you wish

to resolve the V4HD to the video signal being

received from the currently chosen input in the

Video Source menu (Figure 6-3 and Figure 6-5),

even though the V4HD is currently in Playback

mode and you are not capturing or converting the

source video signal.
