The VTR Capture screen is accessible from the library screen via the ..List Capture button.
This brings up the list capture screen, with two options on the bottom left:
| • | Data Capture - this is the mode used for batch capturing digital media. |
| • | VTR Capture - this is the mode for capturing media from tape. |
For capturing from a VTR deck, press the VTR Capture button.
The Control tab is where the interactive controls for carrying out a video capture are located.

For optimal performance, the audio and video capture locations should be set to separate disk volumes in order to optimise concurrent disk-writes (and minimise interference). For example, capture video to the S:\ volume and audio to the W:\ volume. |
Deck Status
The deck status is displayed in a summary line at the bottom of the controls tab.
Information displayed is :
| • | VTR/deck model, |
| • | Frame rate |
| • | Control status. |
If the VTR deck is record inhibited, this will be shown as REC Lock.
Capture Methods
There are three main methods for performing a video capture:
| • | Capture Marked - specify an in and an out point, then capture this marked region. |
| • | Capture Live - start recording as the VTR plays |
| • | Capture List - import and then capture from a list (e.g. an EDL). |
The Capture Single operation is discussed as part of the Capture List section.
