Setting Up VTR Emulation
You can configure your Autodesk Lustre 2009 application to emulate a VTR for output in real
time. You control the emulator from the application or device that sees the Autodesk Lustre
2009 application as a VTR.
The following procedure describes how to configure the hardware for VTR emulation. Consult
the “VTR Emulation” chapter in the Autodesk Lustre 2009 User Guide for more information.
To configure hardware for VTR emulation:
1. Connect the video I/O cables between the devices involved in the VTR emulation process
(out-to-in/in-to-out). Make sure the connections support the video standard you want to
work with.
2. Connect the audio I/O cables between the devices involved in the VTR emulation process
(out-to-in/in-to-out).
N OTE : Connect an RS-422 control cable to the serial ports between the devices used in the VTR
emulation process.
N OTE : The RS-422 cables for VTR emulation require custom pinouts. See “VTR Emulation RS-422
Control Cables” on page 38.
3. Make sure the appropriate video and audio sync setup is in place.
VTR Emulation RS-422 Control Cables
Custom cables are required to control the VTR emulator. The pinouts required by the cable
depend on the workstation and device involved in the VTR emulation process. The following
diagrams depict the control cable pinouts required for the most common VTR emulation
setups.
