Capturing - Getting Started
Capturing is the process of acquiring external video and audio material by
playing or recording it from tapes, memory cards, web cameras, micro-
phones, etc. for use in EDIUS NEO projects.
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
• Main board DV terminal of optional SHX-E1, SHX-E2, NHX-E1 and
NHX-E2 EDIUS NEO boards
Note These optional boards cannot be used for HDV capture
• 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 Automatic Detection of
Capture Events settings. By default, EDIUS NEO is configured to automat-
ically divide captured files into new clips on date, timecode, audio sam-
pling rate and aspect ratio changes. This is usually not desirable when
batch capturing; therefore these options should be disabled. However, if
desired, you may leave some or all of these items selected and choose to
have EDIUS NEO add a marker to the captured clip at any of these events.
Capture settings are accessed by selecting Settings>System Set-
tings>Application>Capture from the Preview window menu bar. The
dialog shown in
Figure 172 appears.
