Avid Media Station|V10 software is designed es-
pecially for Pro Tools post-production work-
flows with AVoption|V10:
• Record audio and video directly from tape
• Import an EDL and batch digitize from tape
• Open and re-digitize an existing sequence
from an Avid editing system (such as Media
Composer Adrenaline)
• Render all effects
• Export an AAF sequence for import to
Pro Tools
• Import an AAF exported from Pro Tools
• Lay back audio and video to tape
• Export audio and video sequences in digital
format
Media Station|V10 software and Pro Tools
cannot run simultaneously. Quit Pro Tools
before launching Media Station|V10, and
quit Media Station|V10 before launching
Pro Tools.
Media Station|V10 provides the same digi-
tizing and batch digitizing methods as all
Avid video editing systems.
Media Station|V10 software can output all
frame rates of NTSC and PAL, but cannot
output an NTSC master from a PAL source,
or output a PAL master from an NTSC
source.
