Under

Input Type

, select the type of equipment you’re using for capture:

$

Broadcast-quality Source

Select this if your source device is

broadcast-quality. This setting provides the best capture results for most
devices.

$

Consumer-quality Source

Select this if you’re having problems

capturing video because your source device doesn’t meet
broadcast-quality standards. For example, the capture may be interrupted
when you try to capture from certain composite and S-Video devices,
especially from low-quality VCRs. If this happens, selecting

Consumer-quality Source

will allow the video to be captured, but you

may experience dropped frames during the capture.

Note

For any change to the input type to take effect, you must restart your

Avid editing application and open your project again.
