Mix MPEG and IMX
Compression Types
Check this option to allow video clips of both MPEG and IMX
compression types to be used on this NewsEdit system.
If you are using IMX compression and sending clips to a Profile for
storage and playout, the Profile Server converts the clips to MPEG
compression. Therefore, you want to check this option so you can use
these clips from the Profile Server at a later time.
Use Tape ID
Check this option to identify which source tape a particular clip came
from; used in the Source Tool.
