Capture Play/Record Controls
The pull-down menu on the right enables one of three capture modes:
• Capture Now – manual record/stop (crash) capture
• Capture Duration – capture a specified number of frames after manual start, based on the
timebase of the selected Primary Format
• Capture In/Out – initiate and end capture using timecode-based in and out settings
The selected mode will activate the appropriate hot-text for that mode. Clicking the hot-text
brings up and entry field (hours:minutes:seconds:frames). The upper left display indicates the
current timecode from the VTR.
Capture In/Out The capture in-point is entered by clicking on the left field of eight digits in
the bracketed fields above the In/Out Duration field. The out-point can be set by clicking on the
right field of eight digits. Or you can specify a duration in the In/Out Duration field and the in- or
out-point (whichever you have not entered) will be entered automatically according to
duration.
Note: The in-point/out-point field values are inclusive. If both are set to the same value, the
capture duration will be 1 frame.
To load the current VTR timecode setting in either field (in-point or out-point) click on the
bracket ( { or } ) next to the field.
VTR TC The VTR timecode field displays the current machine timecode. You can click on it and
enter a timecode to perform a seek to that timecode on the VTR. The VTR must be online and in
remote rather than local control mode (as reported in the VTR Status field).
Abort on Dropped Frame Found in both Machina and the After Effects CS5 Capture
window, this checkbox causes KONA to watch for dropped frames during a capture—if one is
found it automatically halts the capture and discards any media captured to that point.
