Enabling SMART DV makes the converter transparent to the NLE, while still transcoding the live DV 
stream into analogue video. This enables you to monitor a live digital video feed from a DV camcorder or 
DV deck during capture, without any conflict. It means a huge saving of time for all video editors working 
with DV tape.
