Viewing Settings for a Device Control Preset
Settings in a device control preset are used during logging, capturing, and output

Settings in the Device Control Preset Editor
The following section describes the settings in the Device Control Preset Editor.
 Name: Enter a name for the preset. This name will appear in the list of available
device control presets, available in several places in the application, such as the Log
and Capture window and whenever you create an Easy Setup.
 Description: Enter a brief description, or summary, of what the preset is to be used
for. Use this as a convenient reminder of which decks you use the preset for. This
can be particularly helpful if you are setting up a system for multiple editors and
assistant editors.
 Protocol: Choose the protocol your camcorder or deck uses. You can choose from the
most commonly implemented remote control protocols in the video industry. The
two most common are FireWire (for DV devices) and RS-422 (for almost all other
professional equipment). RS-422 uses a serial data connection.
