Item Description
Device type Choose IEEE 1394/MPEG2-TS Device.
Device Choose your HDV camera.
Video Choose a setting from the drop-down list to specify the desired video format.

Item Description
Device type Choose AJA Video Device.
Device Choose your device.
Input Choose SDI or HDMI.
Video format Choose a setting from the drop-down list to specify the desired video format.
Audio format Choose a setting from the drop-down list to specify the desired number of channels
for capturing SDI-embedded audio.
Important: Multichannel audio capture is available only if supported by your
camera or deck.
Use progressive segmented
frame (psf) video formats
Select this check box if your project properties are set to a progressive-scan format
and you want to capture from a device that stores and transfers progressive-scan
frames by dividing fields.
Use 10-bit encoding Select this check box if you want to capture 10-bit source material for increased color
resolution. Source material with gradients in the background can benefit from 10-bit
encoding.
When you use 10-bit video in your project, choose 32-bit floating point (video levels)
from the Pixel format setting on the Video tab of the Project Properties tab.
When the check box is not selected, the captured video will use 8-bit encoding.
Timecode source Choose a setting from the drop-down list to specify the desired timecode source.
• 9-Pin Remote Estimates timecode using the 9-pin RS422 cable from the deck. This
format is more prone to errors and requires more preroll than RP-188.
• RP-188 Uses SMPTE RP 188 timecode embedded in the video.
Important: RP-188 is recommended when capturing HD video.
Timecode offset (frames) If video capture is not frame accurate, drag the slider to adjust timecode.
