Using the DigiSuite Configuration program
In most cases, all your DigiSuite cards are grouped into a single card set.
Under the
Card Set 1
tab, tabs are provided for each card you can
configure in the set. To configure a card, click its tab.
The
General
tab displays basic information for a card set, and lets you
select your genlock source and editing aspect ratio. The
VTR Settings
tab
will be present for Card Set 1 only if the VTR driver is installed. Use this
tab to configure your VTR for RS-422 device control with DigiTools and
various nonlinear editing programs.
Default button To restore the factory default settings for your card set, click the
Default
button. You can choose which settings you want to restore, such as your
DigiSuite LE or VTR settings.
Save and Load
buttons
The Save button lets you save your configuration settings to a .cfg file. To
apply those settings, click the Load button and select your .cfg file. Then
select which settings you want from the file, such as DigiSuite LE , and
click Open .
Note
Once you’ve configured all your cards, it’s a good idea to save the
settings for your card set to a .cfg file for backup purposes.
Making permanent or temporary settings
Unless you want your card configuration settings to be effective only for
the current work session, make sure you select
Permanent Settings
. If you
clear this option, any changes you make (except to audio, storage, or VTR
settings) will be cleared the next time you start your system. This lets you
assign temporary settings to DigiSuite LE.
For example, if Permanent Settings isn’t selected when you click OK , the
video configuration changes you’ve made to DigiSuite LE will be retained
only until you reboot your computer. Once you reboot, your settings will
be returned to their previous state.
Changing default proc amp settings
If you’d like your default proc amp settings for DigiSuite LE to be restored
each time you start the DigiSuite Configuration program, select
Always
Restore Default Settings
. This causes any temporary changes you made
to these settings (either in the DigiSuite Configuration program or another
program) to be cleared the next time you start the DigiSuite Configuration
program.
Alternately, if you don’t select Always Restore Default Settings , when
you start the DigiSuite Configuration program you’ll be notified if the proc
amp settings were changed during the current work session. You can then
indicate whether or not you want to use those settings as your new defaults.
