About the A/V Devices Tab

This section describes the features of the A/V Devices tab.

Playback Output Area

Video pop-up menu: Choose a device to output video to.

None: This turns off external video output. If you play clips or sequences in

Final Cut Pro, you can’t view them on your camcorder, deck, or NTSC or PAL monitor.

Digital Cinema Desktop Preview: Depending on the number of computer displays you

have connected, there are several options. For details, see

“Using Digital Cinema

Desktop Preview.”

Apple FireWire NTSC (720 x 480): If you’re using a computer with built-in FireWire and

an NTSC device is properly connected to your computer and turned on, this option
appears. If you choose this option and you have a video monitor connected to your
DV device, your video will be displayed on it.

Apple FireWire PAL (720 x 576): If you’re using a computer with built-in FireWire and

a PAL device is properly connected to your computer and turned on, this option
appears. If you choose this option and you have a video monitor connected to your
DV device, your video will be displayed on it.

DVCPRO HD: If a DVCPRO HD device is connected, you can choose the DVCPRO HD

device here. The name displayed depends on the Easy Setup you currently have
selected.

Other available video interface: If you have a third-party video interface installed, it

appears in this list. Choose the video interface to view video on a monitor that’s
connected to the interface.
