Using a Non-Controllable Device for Capture
When a device-controllable camcorder or deck is not available or device control is not
enabled, the Log and Capture window no longer has transport controls, and only the
Capture Now button is available.
The steps for capturing without device control are the same steps for capturing using
Capture Now. The only important difference is that you need to choose the device
control preset for a non-controllable device.
To choose a device control preset for a non-controllable device:
m Click the Capture Settings tab, then choose Non-Controllable Device from the Device
Control pop-up menu.
To capture a clip without device control, see “ Capturing an Entire Tape Using Capture
Now ” on page 272.
If you aren’t using device
control, the Log and
Capture window is
simplified.
