Connecting Editing Equipment

The TitleMaker 2000 is compatible with a wide range of editing
equipment, such as edit controllers, video processors, and video
mixers. It can be connected in a variety of ways, depending on what
you plan to do and what equipment you have.
A title generator is a common part of a video editing setup. This chapter
describes how to connect editing equipment to the TitleMaker 2000. For
information on how to edit using the TitleMaker 2000, see Chapter 20, "Edit-
ing, Presentations, and Other Applications."
Hint: Verify that the basic connections, described in the previous chapter, are
working properly before you add advanced equipment.

Concept

There is no single, "correct" way to connect equipment in an editing
studio. The setup varies, depending on what you want to accomplish. The
most important concept is that editing equipment is connected in a chain,
with the output of one device feeding the input of the next.

2
The order in which the pieces of equipment are connected matters since
each piece will act on the video generated by devices that are earlier in the
chain. For instance, if you wanted to add titles to video that has had special
effects added, you would use the setup labeled 1 in the illustration, connect-
ing the titler (B) after the special effects unit (A). If you wanted to add effects
to the titles and the video, you would reverse the order, as in setup 2.
