FIREWIRE 400 BANDWIDTH
If you have connected the V4HD to the computer
via the 400 Mb/sec FireWire A port (page 8), you
may see a warning message (Figure 7-11):
Figure 7-11: FireWire bandwidth warning.
If you see this message, try the following:
■ In MOTU Audio Setup (Figure 8-1 on page 72),
choose a lower sample rate (such as 44.1 or 48
kHz).
■ In MOTU Audio Setup (Figure 8-1 on page 72),
disable audio banks that you are not using.
■ Unplug your FireWire A connection to the
computer and switch to a FireWire B connection.

mately 6:1 or greater).

720p25, 720p29.97, 720p30, 720p50, 720p 59.94

listed on page 107
The V4HD can capture and play back 1080i50 at 30
fps, which provides better resolution (1440 pixels
wide) than 1080i60 (1280 pixels wide). However,
files recorded in the 1080i50 format cannot be
recorded or played by other DVCProHD devices,
such as a DVCProHD compatible video deck or
camera.
