# Selecting a Raster for Capture

Whenever capturing material, you must select a raster. For a list of the supported rasters, see Supported Video SDI and GFX SDI Rasters.

NoteWhen you select a drop frame (DF) video format, the timecodes are calculated in Drop Frame mode.

To select a raster for capture:

1. In the Video Device SDI group, toggle the Video/Graphics option box to display your video card (AVIO). See Capture Menu Options.
2. Select an option from the Link Type box. Select Single for a 4:2:2 video signal, and Dual for a 4:4:4 video signal.
3. Toggle the Format option box to the required raster format (SD, HD, Film, or Audio).
4. In the Raster list, select the raster that matches the material to capture.
   NoteIf clicking on a raster in the Raster list does not select the item, that format is not available for capture on that system.
5. (Optional) Remove 3:2 pulldown frames on capture. See Removing Pulldown when Capturing.
