those clips selected for batch capture must be within the same BIN. The appro-
priate BIN must be selected on CapDiv
™
when the user initiates the NLE’s
batch capture functions.
Helpful Hint:
Since the user must always batch capture clips within a sin-
gle BIN, one way to ensure the correct clips are captured without error is to
log clips to be captured in a batch one BIN at a time. In this manner, you will
be assured that all your logged clips may be captured at once. Presently, NLE’s
require a minimum of one second pre-roll media to batch capture any video
content. While this function is generally compatible with most VTR’s, it is a
concern for the first second of media from any CapDiv
™
BIN. This is because
video content from CapDiv
™
BINs is instantaneously captured without the
tape lag-time inherent to tape-based recording systems. CapDiv
™
is not
designed to need pre-roll and does not include negative TimeCode adjust-
ments for this function. Currently, most NLE’s do not permit pre-roll to be dis-
abled, so you must customize pre-roll conditions within the NLE to the mini-
mum possible settings (generally, this is one sec.). This means that video con-
tent from the first second of footage from a CapDiv
™
BIN cannot be batch
captured; however, it can always be manually captured when necessary.
Error: File System
If you receive a file system error in VTR Mode, press and hold the RECORD and PLAY buttons simulta-
neously. Manually recording will re-initialize the file system.
In addition to emulating a VTR, CapDiv can also emulate an AV Hard Drive (AV
HDD). In AV HDD mode, video clips appear to NLE’s as video files and can be
manipulated as data files without being constrained by the real-time limita-
tions of the video format. In this manner, clips can be transferred from the
CapDiv
™
to the processor at greater than realtime speeds, limited only by the
operating systems and applications software. In this manner, the capture
process has been eliminated and significant time has been saved through
instant access to your DV content.
