Edit to Tape
After clicking the blue Edit to Tape tab, select clips from the media list to be mastered to tape using RS-422
device control. Set the In/Out points for your edit and choose between Assemble or Insert edit. You can
even preview before mastering to tape. The video preview pane shows the clips being sent to tape.
Capturing Video and Audio files
Setting up a Project
Before capturing any clips in Media Express, you will need to select the settings for your project. Go to
Media Express>Preferences on Mac OS X or Edit>Preferences on Windows.
Select from a range of professional compressed and uncompressed capture file formats or even a DPX
image sequence.
Set the storage location for your captured video and audio and choose whether to stop capture or playback
if dropped frames are detected.
Standard definition projects are set to the 4:3 aspect ratio unless you enable the Anamorphic SD 16:9
checkbox.
Usually video applications stop playing video if you send them to the background. If you want Media
Express to keep playing video through your
Teranex Processor
, even if you open another application in the
foreground, enable the checkbox to "Continue playback when in the background".
The final options relate to tape decks with RS-422 deck control.
Your tape deck requires a pre-roll of a few seconds before performing an edit so the tape speed is stable by
the time it is used for an edit.
Timecode offsets can also be set to calibrate the timecode to the video.
