Preroll [frames]
This value determines the preroll time for Batch Digitize and Record to Tape.
The higher the value, the longer the preroll time. Some DV devices require a preroll time of at
least 15 frames in order to guarantee a successful synchronization between Pinnacle Liquid and
the DV device.
If a clip cannot be cleanly digitized with Batch Digitize (e.g. the error message "Preroll Position
not found" is issued), Pinnacle Liquid automatically attempts to digitize this clip up to three
times.
Timing (Control via RS 422)
CAUTION: Change these parameters only when the connected device works inaccurately. With
Liquid Edition with RS 422 interface, some of the following options do not apply. A special
232-422 cable is needed for RS 422 control. Please contact your Pinnacle Systems dealer.
Position Request
This default set value should not be changed.
Play TC Delay [Fields]
Adjust this setting until the video is frame-accurately captured by the Logging Tool at the mark-in
point. Use burned-in timecode instead of the ordinary timecode overlay to ensure the results are
not affected by the construction delay of the timecode overlay. To generate a tape with burned-in
timecode simply record the Monitor (Superimposed) Out signal on a second VCR and use this
tape as a reference.
