Tips:
• Capture menu items are grayed out in the Playback Mode. If this happens in the Capture Mode, check if your video
capture devices are correctly installed.
• A delay in capture may be due to the confirmation dialog box or connection between devices.
It is better to rewind your tape to an earlier point before capturing and just trim the video later.
• The normal number of dropped frames is zero. If any frames are dropped, check if the DMA setting is enabled. See
page 14.
If a confirmation dialog box appears, click OK to
start the capture process. To disable this, click
Settings and Commands and select Preferences. In
the Preferences dialog box, click the Capture Tab
and clear Enable pressing OK to capture.
