the first time you perform an analog capture in adobe premiere, you'll be prompted to run the audio capture drift detection test. this test ensures proper audio and video synchronization between your sound card and your matrox rt.x10 hardware during analog captures. click start to run the test (it will take about five minutes to complete). once the test is finished, your capture window will open.

    if you choose not to run the audio capture drift detection test and click cancel, you won't be able to perform analog captures in premiere until you run the test.

    once you've completed the test, you won't be prompted to run the test again unless:

    · you've changed your sound card.

    · you have more than one sound card installed in your computer and have selected a different sound card as your preferred device for sound recording (capture). for details on how to change your preferred device for sound recording, see your windows documentation.

    there are, however, several instances in which you'll want to manually start the test again:

    · you've replaced your sound card with a similar model. (if you replace your sound card with a different model, the matrox realtime plug-in will automatically prompt you to run the test again.)

    · you've updated or re-installed the drivers for your sound card.

    · you've moved your sound card to another slot in your computer.

    to run the audio capture drift detection test manually:

    1 choose start ] programs ] matrox x.tools ] audio capture drift detection.

   

    2 from the test duration list, select a duration for the test. in most cases, five minutes will give you good results.

    if you often perform long analog captures (longer than one hour), it's recommended that you select one of the longer test durations, such as 10 minutes.

    3 click start to run the test.
