Io LD and Io LA Installation and Operation Manual — Easy Setups for Typical Uses
The Device Control Presets Window
Audio/Video Settings, Device Control Presets Window
This window selects machine control parameters for an attached VTR. Your choice
here tells Final Cut that Io
LD/LA
will be controlled via FireWire and sets all the
machine control parameters for the VTR attached to it. Alternatively, you could also
select a different device for input/output instead of Io
LD/LA
; for example, if you have a
IEEE 1394 camcorder attached to the Power Mac’s FireWire port you might choose
“FireWire NTSC.” The information on the right window pane describes the current
machine control settings and parameters for the VTR attached. For Io
LD/LA
presets
this means the VTR attached at the RS422 port. For non-Io presets, this means
camcorder/VTRs attached directly at the FireWire port or via some other interface.
If you select a preset you can edit it (click the Edit button) or copy and rename it as
another (click Duplicate). The only exceptions to this are those presets marked with a
lock icon; those can be duplicated, but when you try to edit one the system reports
they’re locked and can only be copied (it will create the copy for you when you try to
edit). When editing a Device Control preset you can change the following:
•
Name and description of Device Control preset
•
Protocol for capture/playback VTR (for Io this will be RS422)
•
Audio Mapping
•
Time Source (LTC/VITC/both/etc.)
•
Port
•
Frame Rate
•
Default Timecode (Drop Frame etc.)
•
Capture/Playback Offsets (to correct for VTR versus Final Cut timing issues)
•
Handles/Pre-roll/Post-roll
•
Auto Record and PTV
