Black Level
NTSC Video equipment commonly uses one of two black level settings:
• 7.5 IRE – The traditional black, which is the MXProDV default setting.
• 0 IRE – A darker black level used in Japan.
To use the darker black (0 IRE) for the MXProDV background and border colors, set
Black Level to 0 (zero).
If you are working with equipment that requires 7.5 IRE, set Black Level to 1.
NOTE
Black is 0 IRE in PAL systems; there is no 7.5 IRE choice.
R
OUTE
The Route function determines which audio and video inputs are connected to
which channels of MXProDV.
MXProDV has four audio/video channels (A, B, C and D), a color channel and a
background audio channel. You can route any of your audio/video inputs to any
audio/video channel, and you can route any audio input to the color and back-
ground audio channels.
Defaults
MXProDV ships from the factory with the following defaults (see the illustration on
page 93):
• DV IN 1’s video and audio (channels 1 and 2) are routed to channel A.
• DV IN 2’s video and audio (channels 1 and 2) are routed to channel B.
• Video IN (Y/C) 3’s video and analog Audio IN 3 are routed to channel C.
• Video IN (Y/C) 4’s video and analog Audio IN 4 are routed to channel D.
• No audio is routed to the Color channel (mute selected).
• Audio IN 4’s analog audio is routed to the background audio channel.
Unless your VCRs and camcorders are connected as described above, you may not
see any video on the preview or output screens. If this occurs, or if you want to
change which sources are routed to which channels, you will need to change the
default routing.
