With this setup, you can capture audio and video from an analog camcorder or VTR. You can monitor the video signal on a TV monitor while
editing. Finally, you can export any sequence back to the camcorder or VTR.

To convert the analog source signal to a digital file the computer can read, this setup requires an analog/digital (A/D) converter, or digitizer. You
can use any of the following to digitize the video signal:

an internal digitizer, installed in the computer,

an external digitizer, connected to the computer,

a digital camcorder or VTR capable of digitizing an incoming analog signal.

1. Connect the analog camcorder or VTR to the digitizer using S-Video or RCA video cables. Run video cables from the video outputs of the

computer or its interface to the video inputs of the device. Also run video cables from the video outputs of the device to the video inputs of
the computer or its interface.

2. Connect the analog camcorder or VTR to the digitizer using XLR or RCA audio cables. Run audio cables from the audio outputs of the

digitizer to the audio inputs of the device. Also run audio cables from the audio outputs of the device to the audio inputs of the digitizer.

3. (Optional. For an analog camcorder or VTR with an RS-422 or RS-232 port. Windows only) Connect the serial device control port on the

camcorder or VTR with the serial port on the computer or digitizer using the Pipeline Digital ProVTR cable.
Note: Native serial device control is available in Windows only.

4. Connect the analog camcorder or VTR, or the digitizer, to the television monitor with an S-Video or RCA video cable, and RCA or XLR

audio cables.

5. Put the analog camcorder or deck into VTR or Play mode.

6. In Premiere Pro, select File >New > Sequence.

7. In the Available Presets area of the New Sequence dialog box, select the preset that matches the format of your A/D converter. Do not

match the source footage. For example, if you use a DV camcorder or A/DV converter to convert the analog signal, choose a DV preset.

8. Type a name in the Sequence Name box. Then click OK.
