Io Express Installation and Operation Manual — Using Photoshop CS5
The slider on the bottom is a variable speed forward/reverse control. Positions from left to right
are: (Reverse) 16x, 8x, 4x, 2x, 1/2, 1/4, Still, (Forward) 1/4, 1/2, 2x, 4x, 8x, and 16x. The red Record
button is used to initiate a capture.
Photoshop Capture Window Play/Record Controls
The pull-down menu on the right enables one of two capture modes:
•
Capture Now – manual record/stop (“crash”) capture
•
Capture In/Out – initiate a capture using timecode-based in or out settings
The selected mode will activate the appropriate hot text for that mode. Clicking the hot text
brings up and entry field (hours:minutes:seconds:frames). The upper left display indicates the
current timecode from the VTR.
Capture In/Out –
Enter a timecode Capture point by clicking on either the left field or right field
of eight digits in the bracketed fields above the In/Out Duration field. Since Photoshop capture
is a single-frame function, the In and Out settings will always be the same and the frame
duration will always be one frame.
Note:
The in-point/out-point field values are inclusive. When both are set to the same value,
the capture duration will be 1 frame.
To load the current VTR timecode setting in either field (in-point or out-point) click on the
bracket ( { or } ) next to the field.
VTR TC –
The VTR timecode field displays the current machine timecode and you can click on it
to roll the VTR to another frame setting. The VTR must be online and in remote rather than local
control mode (as reported in the
VTR Status
field.)
Accept –
When you have successfully captured the frame you wish to use in Photoshop, Click on
Accept in the bottom right corner of the Play/Record pane. The Io Express capture plugin will
close and your frame will be opened in Photoshop for editing.
