Selecting a VTR Device For Input
 
 
 

The VTR devices available depend on the VTR keyword lines uncommented in the software initialisation configuration file. Make sure the VTR you select is appropriately connected using the corresponding audio, video, and RS-422 connections.

In certain situations, Flint pre-selects a VTR with appropriate timing for you, as described in Working with Multi-Format Input and Output.

To select the VTR device for input:

  1. From the Device Name box, select an option corresponding to your VTR device.
