Calibrating your recorder using the Calibration
Wizard
The Calibration Wizard guides you through a sequence of steps to calibrate
your VTR for frame-accurate recording. It records color bars, time code,
and a series of Matrox logos onto your tape, prompts you to locate the first
and last frames in the series of logos, then adjusts your VTR’s calibration
settings (
Edit On Delay

accurate recorder.
