Exporting your sequence to tape
You can record your sequence onto tape using device control or manually as
explained in your Avid documentation. Before exporting to tape, set your desired
playback settings as explained in
“Defining your playback settings” on page 150 .
For a list of the supported video output formats, see “Playback using Avid editing
applications” on page 318 .
To export to tape without device control, simply play back your sequence and
record the output from any of the available outputs on your MXO2 system. If
your recorder supports RS-422 device control, you can connect the RS-422
connector on Matrox MXO2, MXO2 Rack, or MXO2 LE to the RS-422 serial
device control port on your recorder (see
“MXO2 RS-422 serial connection” on
page 18 , “MXO2 Rack RS-422 serial connection” on page 27 , or “MXO2 LE
RS-422 serial connection” on page 36 ). On Matrox MXO2 Mini, you must use a
suitable adapter to connect the serial device control port on your source device or
recorder to your computer. For a list of supported device control adapters, see the
Matrox MXO2 Support section of our website at
www.matrox.com/video/support .
When configuring your deck for RS-422 device control, the RS-422 connector on
your MXO2 hardware is usually identified as the COM3 port. For more
information on using RS-422 device control, see
“Requirements for using
RS-422 device control” on page 170 .
To record the output from your MXO2 system using device control with the
Digital Cut tool, make sure that the Output Mode is set to Real-Time . For
details on using the Digital Cut tool, see your Avid documentation.
¡ Important If you want to downconvert a 720p/23.976, 1080p/23.976, or
1080p24 sequence to SD to record a digital cut, you must change your project’s
format (project type) to SD. For example, to downconvert a 720p/23.976 or
1080p/23.976 sequence to NTSC to record a digital cut, you must change the
project type to 23.976p NTSC. You can then select the output format that you
want in the
Digital Cut tool.
