Inputting and Outputting Media > Clip Input/Output Using a VTR >

When preparing for a clip input and output session, confirm the following:

Audio and video outputs of the VTR are connected to the audio and video inputs of the Inferno system. Audio and video inputs of the VTR are connected to the audio and video outputs of the Inferno system.
The VTR is connected, using an RS-422 video I/O control cable, to a serial port of your workstation to enable remote control of the device.
A video sync signal is connected to the sync input of the video device to ensure frame-accurate capture. If there is a separate audio device, an audio sync signal must be connected to it as well.

Video hardware configuration procedures are detailed in the “Setting Up Video Hardware” chapter of the Autodesk Visual Effects and Finishing Hardware Setup Guide for your workstation.
