if your chosen input format is dv, the menu contains options of sony, canon or rs-422. choose the correct manufacturer for the hardware you are using. if you are controlling your dv device via rs-422, choose that option instead.
if you choose dv and your dv deck type is sony or canon, you can click on the advanced button. this window opens:
these settings allow you to alter the speed at which the dv device approaches the target timecode during batch capturing. this can make the deck more accurate.
create dva even without audio - when this option is checked, a dva file is created for each capture even when no audio is recorded. this may be useful for organizing all your clips in one dva directory. if this box is not checked, clips with no audio are recorded as dps files only.
audio follow video - when this is checked (on), your audio is automatically captured from the same source as your video. for example, if you choose dv as your video input, your audio input automatically changes to dv on the audio settings screen. if you choose d1 as your video input, your audio input changes to d1(sdi) audio. if you do not have this option checked, the audio and video input are totally independent of each other and you could capture audio from your cd-rom as a dva file attached to a dps video file you captured from dv. this check box is only present if you have a digital i/o board.
create new clip for new timecode - if there is a break in the timecode and this option is checked, dpsvelocity stops the capture at the breakpoint and starts a new capture where the new timecode starts. if this option is not checked, capture continues even over broken timecode. this can make batch recapture difficult later, as dpsvelocity does not count every frame of timecode, but stores the first number and arrives at the others by adding frames to it.
add to bin/gallery - when this is checked, as you capture each clip it is added to the gallery (selected via a drop-down menu at the bottom of the main capture screen). when this is not checked, you must collect clips into galleries manually after capturing them (if you want them there).
do not overwrite existing files - when doing batch capture or batch recapture, if this is checked, dpsvelocity captures all clips which do not already exist. if this is not checked, newly captured clips will overwrite existing files.
auto sync audio/video - when this option is checked and you capture video with audio, dpsvelocity creates a dps file with a stereo dva synced to it. when this is not checked, dpsvelocity creates a dps file and a stereo wav file which are not synced in the gallery or on the timeline.
batch export from timeline -not currently supported.
sticky mode jog/shuttle - if this is unchecked and you use the jog/shuttle deck control, it goes back to "stop" when you release the control. if you check this box, the jog/shuttle control stays where it is when you release it.
fail recording on error - if dpsvelocity detects an error during recording and this option is checked, capture is aborted. if this is not checked, dpsvelocity will continue to attempt to record the clip.
retry failed recording (3 attempts) - if the first attempt to capture a clip fails and this option is checked, dpsvelocity will try to capture it again, as many as three times.
keep files after failed recording - if this is checked and recording fails, the file is saved anyway. if this is not checked, the clip resulting from a failed recording is discarded.
keep files after partial capture - if this is checked and capture is aborted before the capture of a clip is complete but after it has begun, the clip is saved. if this is not checked, the partially captured clip is discarded.
automatic update in/out time - when this box is checked, you can change the in or out time of an item in your batch capture list by selecting the in or out time and then using the jog/shuttle knob to go to a new time. the time will automatically be updated to reflect the new time shown on the counter. when the automatic update box is not checked you must click the in or out button to update the time to the new time shown on the counter.
append captured clip to the timeline - when this is checked, as each clip is captured it is added to the end of the timeline. using this function, you can finish capturing clips and have a rough cut of your edit completed at the same time.
delete existing files before recapture - this option applies to batch recapture only. if you wish to remove the clips that are being batch recaptured automatically, check here. otherwise they will continue to take up space on your media drives.
replace using original names - if you have chosen to delete the original files before batch recapture, you can reuse the same file names. if this option is unchecked, newly recaptured file names are appended with a numeric suffix.
with meta profile - not currently supported.
user-defined hotkeys - use this button to open the user-defined hotkeys screen for capture. using this window is described in chapter 16.
add handle frames - activates the handle feature. captures a specified number of extra frames before and after the in and out times for each clip. when the clips are collected into the gallery, they have the in and out timecodes that were assigned prior to capture, but you have the extra video captured before the in point and after the out point for editing or making transitions
head - this is the number of frames added before the marked in point of a clip.
tail - this is the number of frames added after the marked out point of a clip.
