miroVIDEO DC30 Series User´s Guide
When playing or scrubbing single clips using the left set of controls in the
monitor window, they are shown on the PC screen and on TV in parallel.
You can use this mode to print single clips to tape. This does only work if
the clip has a format compatible with your Pinnacle video board.
When using the trim mode, the render-scrub mode or the slip and slide tools,
the video is shown on the PC screen only.
When playing the work area after all effects have been rendered (Use the
<Enter> key to make Premiere 5.1 first render everything necessary, then
start the playback automatically), the timeline content will play both on the
PC screen and on TV out. The miroVIDEO board’s output signal will be
continuous, so use this mode for printing your project to tape.
When you scrub or play parts of the timeline, the output depends on the
timeline content:
If you scrub through parts / effects that have not been rendered by Premiere
yet, there will be no TV output or one of the source clips will be shown.
When playing, the same limitations apply to the PC screen output during
these parts of your project as well.
All parts of the timeline that need no rendering or have already been
rendered will be played on the PC screen and on TV out.
When the source and program monitors are linked, the content of the active
monitor will be shown on the PC screen and on TV out, the other monitor
will display on the PC screen only.
Audio output
The audio parts of the clips and projects you play back with miroINSTANT
Video 5 are being output using two different devices: Under Windows 95/98, it
is the miroVIDEO editing board outputting audio through its analog or digital
connectors. During the installation the miroVIDEO DC30 hardware was
registered as the standard audio hardware in the Control Panel / Multimedia.
Under Windows NT audio is output via the standard Windows audio device,
your SoundBlaster card. The differences in audio output are explained using the
symbols below.
Audio is output through the miroVIDEO editing board (meaning the speaker
icon in the miroINSTANT Video 5 window is NOT crossed out) when you:
Play an AVI file that is compatible with your miroVIDEO editing board (see
details below) using the source monitor or a clip window
Do a playback of parts of the timeline, with ALL the audio in the work area
having been rendered into temporary audio clips previously by Premiere.
The audio is output through the standard audio device in all other cases, when
you:
Do scrubbing, if the audio scrubbing is not switched off in the
miroINSTANT Video 5 menu.
