Capturing Basics

Note

EDIUS Neo does not support Electronic Arts IFF (.iff) files.

Note

Grass Valley Imaginate project files can be imported.

Capturing Basics

Before beginning the capture process, make sure the source playback
device is turned on, is functioning properly and is connected to the EDIUS
Neo computer.

With the playback device connected to the EDIUS Neo computer, you can
capture analog, DV or HDV sources and encode them using the award-
winning Canopus HQ codec. DVCPRO HD and DVCPRO 50 formats may
also be captured.

Source Connections

Playback sources may be connected to any of the following:

Generic OHCI IEEE 1394 port

DV terminal of Grass Valley editing systems

If your playback device supports HDV, set the device to HDV mode fol-
lowing the instructions of your device.

Capture Settings

When performing a batch capture, verify the “Automatically divide files”
settings. By default, EDIUS Neo is configured to automatically divide cap-
tured files into new clips on date, timecode, audio sampling rate and aspect
ratio changes. This is usually not desirable when batch capturing; therefore
these options should be disabled.

These settings are accessed by selecting Settings>Application Settings from
the Preview window and selecting Capture. The dialog shown in

Figure 120

appears.
