if you are using rs-422 deck control, you must also define which com port is used by the vtr. this setting is available in the main menu under file ] preferences ] general ] com port. from the drop-down menu beside batch capture, select the serial communications port used by your vtr.

   

    limitations of quick capture

    when you are using quick capture, you cannot capture timecode or reel name for your clips, meaning if you wish to recapture them at a higher data rate later, you will not be able to use the rebatch capture function of dpsvelocity. if you wish to capture clips "on the fly" (without creating a batch list) but retain that information, you can use the hybrid capture function. this function is described fully later in the chapter.
