Use the Emulator keyword to enable the VTR Emulation feature and configure your workstation to emulate a Sony™ VTR that is controllable via the RS-422 serial port.
You can specify more than one emulator. Any enabled emulator can be selected for a project, regardless of the project's video I/O timings.
The Emulator keyword uses the following syntax
Emulator sony, <name>, <input_format>, <timing>, <colorspace_mode>, <output_format>, <output_sync>, <serial_port>, <emulator_output_delay>, <emulator_input_delay>, <audio_input_delay>, <audio_output_delay>, <video_precision (8 to 10 bits)>
| Where: | Is: |
|---|---|
| <name> | The name for the emulator. |
| <input_format> | The video input format. For a list of the video formats supported by your workstation, see Video. |
| <timing> | The video resolution and timing of the VTR to be emulated. |
| <colorspace_mode> | The colourspace mode for video transfers. |
| <output_format> | The video output format. For a list of the video formats supported by your workstation, see Video. |
| <output_sync> | The source used to synchronize the video output. By default, this value is set to Autodetect. |
| <serial_port> | The serial port to which the VTR control cable is connected. |
| <emulator_output_delay> | The video output delay used by the emulator in frames. |
| <emulator_input_delay> | The video input delay used by the emulator in frames. |
| <audio_input_delay> | The audio input delay used by the emulator in frames. |
| <audio_output_delay> | The audio output delay used by the emulator in frames. |
| <video_precision> | The interface precision used for video transfers. |
