Setting Up VTR Emulation

You can configure your Autodesk Visual Effects, Finishing, and Colour Grading application to emulate a
VTR for both input and output in real time. You control the emulator from the application or device that
sees the Autodesk Visual Effects, Finishing, and Colour Grading application as a VTR.
The following procedure describes how to configure the hardware for VTR emulation. Consult the "VTR
Emulation" chapter in your application User Guide for more information.
To configure hardware for VTR emulation:
1 Connect the video I/O cables between the devices involved in the VTR emulation process
(out-to-in/in-to-out). Make sure the connections support the video standard you want to work with.
If you intend to use the emulator as a Player, it is recommended that you connect one black or colour
bar SDI signal to the input of the system serving as the VTR emulator. This ensures the Player is stable
and correctly synced.
NOTE This applies to an Autodesk Visual Effects and Finishing application only: VTR emulation requires a
workstation with a video board. The Video keyword for the corresponding device must be uncommented in
the software initialization configuration file, init.cfg. See the description of the Video keyword in the Autodesk
Visual Effects and Finishing Configuration File Reference Guide.
2 Connect the audio I/O cables between the devices involved in the VTR emulation process
(out-to-in/in-to-out).
