To connect your audio deck outputs to a third-party audio interface for
synchronized, genlocked audio capture:
1 Install a supported audio interface card in your computer, or connect a supported
audio interface.
For more information, see the documentation that came with the audio interface and
your computer.
2 If you are using a PCI card audio interface that came with a breakout box, connect the
breakout box to the PCI card using the included cable.
3 Connect the audio outputs of your audio device to the audio inputs of your audio
interface.
4 Connect the remote device control cable.
For details, see the next section.
5 To genlock your audio deck to your audio or video interface:
a Connect one of the blackburst generator’s outputs (there should be several) to the
genlock or external sync input on your audio deck.
b Connect another of the blackburst generator’s outputs to the genlock or external
sync connector on your video or audio capture interface (depending on which one
you are using to capture audio).
6 Plug in and turn on your blackburst generator.
7 If you are using a blackburst generator, choose Final Cut Pro > User Preferences, and in
the General tab of the User Preferences window, make sure that “Sync audio capture to
video source if present” is selected.
8 If you’re using Final Cut Pro to control your audio deck, make sure that the device
control switch on the equipment is set to Remote.
For more information, see Volume IV, Chapter 23, “Choosing Settings and Preferences.”
9 Once your deck and video capture interface are genlocked together, you still need to
calibrate the timecode capture offset (found in the Device Control Presets tab in the
Audio/Video Settings window) prior to capture.
For more information about calibrating timecode for capture, see Volume IV,
Chapter 26, “Device Control Settings and Presets.”
