The connection information for the external device used for capturing or exporting (camera, deck, web camera, microphone, input/output hardware) are registered and managed as the preset with the device preset. Capturing or exporting operation can be performed smoothly by loading the registered device preset.
Before registering device presets, connect the external device (e.g. camera) used for input/output to your PC, and turn it on.

Codec settings |
[Online(SuperFine)] This item can be selected for a Grass Valley HQX codec. This setting provides the highest image quality, though the file size increases. Select this when importing at high image quality is needed. This item cannot be selected for a Grass Valley HQ codec. [Online(Fine)] This setting provides high image quality, though the file size increases. Select this when importing at high image quality is needed. [Online(Standard)] Normally, you can get sufficient image quality at this setting. [Offline] Select this item to encode at a lower bitrate. [Custom] [Q] and [Max size] can be adjusted. [Q] adjusts image quality. Set within the range 4 to 19 (0 to 18 in the case of a Grass Valley HQX).Setting a smaller value results in higher image quality. [Max size] sets the maximum bitrate. You can set to limit the file size that increases inadvertently as a result of excessive noise in the video. Setting value “100” % means the same bitrate before codec compression. For example, 100% for 1440x1080 59.94i is a bitrate of approximately 750 Mbps. To set the upper limit to 200 Mbps, set “27” % as the maximum size. |
Note |

|
[Bit Rate] |
Select a bitrate type. [CBR] sets a fixed transfer rate, allocating a fixed number of bits during the encoding process. Select a bitrate from the [Average] list. You can also enter a value directly.

A GOP comprises “I frame”, “P frame” and “B frame”. The I frame allows images to be reproduced independently, the P frame is for recording and reproducing only the differences with the preceding image, and the B frame reproduces images from the differences in the preceding and following images. Select I, P and B frame patterns of the GOP from the list. Normally, select [IBBP]. [I-Frame Only] is comprised of only I-pictures. Editing is made easier, but the amount of data increases in size. |
