System information
9. Choose a setting from the Stereoscopic 3D mode drop-down list if you're working with a
stereoscopic 3D project and want to override the project settings for previewing your stereoscopic
3D project on an external monitor.
For more information, see "Stereoscopic 3D editing" on page 201 and "Setting up stereoscopic 3D
previews" on page 205.

1. From the Options menu, choose Preferences and then click the Preview Device tab.
2. From the Device drop-down list, choose OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394. The Details box displays
information about the device.
3. Use the Conform output to the following format controls to adjust the video to display properly on
your external monitor.

Setting Description
Only when the project
does not match any
available format
Select this radio button if you want to adjust the video only if the
project settings do not match a standard format. For more
information, see "Setting Project Properties" on page 53.
Always Select this radio button if you want to adjust the video output to
the selected format whenever you preview on the external
monitor.
Use this setting when you do not have a preview device that
supports your required project format.
For example, if you're creating a PAL project, but you don't have
a PAL monitor, you could use this setting to preview on an NTSC
monitor.
4. If audio and video do not play back in synchronization, drag the Sync offset slider to specify a
frame offset to restore synchronization.
This setting affects preview synchronization only. Audio and video synchronization in your
project is unaffected. Depending on your hardware setup, you may need to adjust your
settings. For example, you might need one setting when previewing directly to a monitor and a
slightly higher setting when previewing through a monitor that is connected to a deck.
