Premiere Pro supports the control of devices such as camcorders and VTRs. Premiere Pro controls DV and HDV devices by way of IEEE 1394
(FireWire, i.Link) connections. Premiere Pro controls serially-controlled devices by way of third-party RS-232 or RS-422 controllers installed on the
computer.

> Device Control (Mac OS).

Timecode Format menus. In the Device Type menu, if your particular model is not listed, do one of the following:
select a model from the same family (if known),
leave at Standard,
click Go Online For Device Info.
