Setting Preview Devices

Before setting preview devices, connect the external device (e.g. monitor) used for preview to the PC, and turn on the power.

For more information on settings when using a Grass Valley product as a preview device, see the user manual included with the product.

1) Click [Settings] on the menu bar, and click [System Settings].

Note

2) Click the [Hardware] tree, and click [Preview Device].

3) Set each item.

Preview device list

Displays a list of preview devices. Click the preview device to use, and the device name will be prefixed with a check mark.

When connecting a DV device, for example, to the IEEE1394 terminal provided as standard on a PC for video output during editing, select [Generic OHCI - Output].

You can set the details of each device by clicking [Settings]. For more information on settings when using a Grass Valley product, see the user manual included with the product.

[Use Pulldown Format when Available]

Check this item to give priority to pulldown operation (2-3-2-3) regardless of the [Pulldown Type] setting in the current project settings. Try this setting when using a monitor that does not support 23.98p/29.97p/25p display.

[Display a warning message when the selected device does not support the current format]

When a preview device is not compatible with the video format in the current project settings, an alarm message will be displayed. When this item is unchecked, an alarm message will not be displayed.

[Output conversion setting]

High resolution video such as 4K or 8K can be downconverted and output to external devices including a monitor.

[No conversion]

The output video is not converted.

When a preview device is not compatible with the video format in the current project settings, video is not output.

[Convert to format supported by device]

The output video is converted to a format compatible with the preview device. Select this option when a preview device is not compatible with the video format in the current project settings. Although major general file formats have been supported, not all file formats can be converted.

You can use [Output format restrictions] to restrict output formats according to the ability of the external device such as a monitor. Select an item from the [Output format restrictions] list.

Note

  • When a preview device is not compatible with the video format in the current project settings, an alarm message will be displayed and detailed settings cannot be changed. In this case, make settings as follows.

    • Modify the project settings to match the preview device.

    • Use [Convert to format supported by device] in [Output conversion setting] to convert output video to a format compatible with the preview device.

  • The conversion process of [Output conversion setting] applies heavy load to CPU. If real time playback becomes unavailable after [Convert to format supported by device] in [Output conversion setting] has been applied, select [No conversion].

4) Click [OK].

Note

  • Audio is output packed from the left in order starting from the smallest monitor number. When the number of output channels exceeds the number of channels that can be received by the monitor, the audio of the channels exceeding this limit is not output.

The conversion status of output video can be checked with the icon indicated on the status bar of the timeline.

When video is converted and output
When video is output without conversion
