Capturing Basics
Before beginning the capture process, make sure the source playback
device is turned on, is functioning properly and is connected to the EDIUS
computer.
With the playback device connected to the EDIUS computer, you can
capture analog, DV or HDV sources and encode them using the award-
winning Canopus HQ codec. DVCPRO HD and DVCPRO 50 formats may
also be captured.
Source Connections
Playback sources may be connected to any of the following:
• Generic OHCI IEEE 1394 port
• Main board DV terminal of optional SHX-E1, SHX-E2, NHX-E1 and
NHX-E2 EDIUS boards
Note These optional boards cannot be used for HDV capture
• DV terminal of Grass Valley editing systems
If your playback device supports HDV, set the device to HDV mode fol-
lowing the instructions of your device.
Capture Settings
When performing a batch capture, verify the “Automatically divide files”
settings. By default, EDIUS is configured to automatically divide captured
files into new clips on date, timecode, audio sampling rate and aspect ratio
changes. This is usually not desirable when batch capturing; therefore these
options should be disabled.
