— Use frame number with: When capturing to image sequences, you can choose how many digits to use when writing the frame number into the name of each frame file.
— Set batch ingest handles to: When capturing to image sequences from a batch list, defines how many frames of additional handles to ingest along with each logged clip.
— Input: Lets you choose how many tracks of audio to capture, from 2 to 16.
Playout
These settings only affect the video signal that’s output when you use the Edit to Tape mode of the Deliver page.
— Output: Lets you choose whether to output both Video and Audio, Video Only, or Audio Only if you’re doing an audio layback.
— Output Source Timecode: Turn this checkbox on to output each individual clip’s source timecode. This option is only applicable when assemble editing to tape.
— Output LTC: With a Blackmagic Design DeckLink or UltraStudio device using HD-SDI, longitudinal timecode (LTC) is available on track 16 of the HD-SDI video signal, making it easy to use a Mini Converter de-embedder to extract this analog timecode audio signal and feed it directly to a recording device. This is particularly helpful if you have outboard video processing equipment such as a noise reducer or format converter that passes through the VITC timecode.
— Delay LTC by x frames: When outputting LTC to bypass outboard processing gear, such as a noise reducer or format converter, you can compensate for the processing delay by delaying the timecode by a matter of frames to ensure that the processed image and timecode reach the deck at the same time. With a DVS card there is a separate timecode output.
— Offset audio by x frames: Lets you specify an offset between the audio track and video to achieve proper A/V sync in cases where the video is being delayed by outboard processing hardware.
— Output x channels of audio: Choose the number of audio tracks to output to tape.
— Set batch playout head handle to x seconds: When batch outputting multiple clips, you can specify a number of frames before the In point of each clip to be output as well.
— Set batch playout tail handle to x seconds: When batch outputting multiple clips, you can specify a number of frames after the Out point of each clip to be output as well.
Subtitles and Transcription
The Subtitles panel lets you adjust presets that govern subtitles being created in subtitle tracks of the timeline.
— Max Character Per Line: Defaults to 60. Lets you choose the maximum number of characters allowed on one line in a subtitle.
— Minimum Caption Duration: Defaults to 3 seconds. Lets you choose the minimum duration allowed for subtitles in the timeline.
— Maximum Characters Per Second: Defaults to 30. Automatically calculates the maximum allowable characters per second based on a subtitle clip’s duration.
