Canon EOS 7D HDMI - Manual (Page 4)

In the QuickTime Audio Settings set the device to None. The Canon EOS 7D does not transmit audio
over the HDMI cable so there is no point in wasting valuable processing power on audio. Specially
if you are on a MacBook.
Once this is done click OK on everything until you're back in regular Final Cut Pro. You'll never
have to repeat these steps again once your preset is created.
Capturing Video
Start your Log & Capture as usual but make sure you don't capture audio.
In Capture Settings set device control to Non-Controllable Device since we can't control the 7D
from Final Cut. It is not a tape deck! Then set Capture/Input to your newly created ”Matrox MXO2
Mini – 7D” preset. Now you can start capturing live footage from the 7D.
When recording it is recommended that you follow the following workflow to ease the lining up of
the footage from the capture and the compact flash recording as well as avoiding any dropped
frames:
1) Once per scene: Set a good balanced exposure using the Video Scopes in Final Cut Pro
2) Start the capture in Final Cut Pro
3) Start recording on the camera
4) Film your subject
5) Stop the capture in Final Cut Pro
6) Stop recording on the camera
