miroVIDEO DV 200
If you ever install Adobe Premiere 5.1 after having installed the DV200
driver software, you must re-install miroINSTANT Video 5.0 and the Adobe
Premiere 5.1 preset files—otherwise video playback with Adobe Premiere
5.1 will cease to work.
How does it work?
Whenever you play video clips or parts of the timeline in the Adobe Premiere
5.1 monitor window, miroINSTANT Video 5.0 does two things:
s
It plays back the video using the DV200, so that it can be watched on a
TV, connected video monitor, or printed to tape.
s
It makes sure that all source clips and rendered effects play back
smoothly, without interruptions between individual AVI files. This way,
the playback from the timeline can be directly printed to tape.
Without miroINSTANT Video 5.0, you would encounter stuttering and
dropped frames during the timeline playback. You would have to render the
entire project before you are able to print it to tape.
You can start the miroINSTANT Video 5.0 playback by hitting the <Enter>
key after selecting the work area you want, and activating the monitor or
timeline window. Hitting the <ESC> key or clicking on the Stop button will
stop the playback.
In the Adobe Premiere 5.1 documentation, this way of playback is called
“Preview”. When using miroINSTANT Video 5.0, this “Preview” mode
works at full quality and can be the output and print to tape mode as well.

This window indicates that miroINSTANT Video is active.
When miroINSTANT Video 5.0 is installed, selected as the Editing Mode
and active (see above), the miroINSTANT Video window is visible. It is
displayed in front of all other Adobe Premiere 5.1 windows. The window
indicates that miroINSTANT Video 5.0 is active and will be used for
playback.
Below the Pinnacle Systems logo there is a horizontal film strip. This acts as
an indicator for the playback status. If all images in the strip are black, then
the whole work area can be played by miroINSTANT Video 5.0.
In this case the project is ready to be printed to tape.
