• Preroll – 0 to 15; the number of frames required to start the source machine before capture
• Timecode Offset – -30 to +30; timecode adjustment (in frames) forward or back to
compensate for discrepancies between the source’s burned-in timecode and that of the
captured sequence.
Status Display If you have more than one AJA capture device installed in your workstation, you can select
another device to work with by using the Board pull-down menu at the top. If they are set for
Auto Activation and are idle (not processing), you will immediately take control of the new
Board (see Basic Plugin Operations and Configuration).
