Graphic SDI Display option box
Allows you to select how you would like to display your video on the Graphic SDI output. Cycle through the list to select one of the options.
| Select: | To: |
|---|---|
| Fit | Enlarge the image as much as possible while preserving the aspect ratio at the SDI out (graphics card). |
| Fit W | Fit the image to the width of the monitor at the SDI out. |
| Fit H | Fit the image to the height of the monitor at the SDI out. |
| Stretch | Fit the image to the dimensions of the monitor by adjusting the aspect ratio at the SDI out (graphics card). |
| Center | Center the image without zooming at the SDI out (graphics card). |
Graphic SDI Raster list
Select one of the graphics rasters to set the default format for the graphic card's SDI output.
Graphic SDI Format option box
Toggle to display, in the Rasters list, rasters using the selected resolution format.
Graphic SDI Link Type option box
Toggle to display, in the Rasters list, rasters using the selected link.
Graphic SDI Pulldown button
Enable to configure Lustre to add a pulldown frame when outputting through the Graphic SDI. See About 3:2 Pulldown.
Graphic SDI Full Range button
Enable to configure Lustre to use the full range of YUV and RGB when outputting to the Video device SDI. When this button is disabled, Lustre uses the Normal mapping matrix for the configured video raster.
Video Device SDI Raster list
Select one of the video rasters to set the default video resolution for the video device's SDI.
Video Device SDI Format option box
Toggle to display, in the Rasters list, rasters using the selected footage format.
Video Device SDI Link Type option box
Toggle to display, in the Rasters list, rasters using the selected link.
Video Device SDI Pulldown button
Enable to configure Lustre to add a pulldown frame when outputting through the video device SDI. See About 3:2 Pulldown.
Video Device SDI Full Range button
Enable to configure Lustre to use the full range of YUV and RGB when outputting to the Video device SDI. When this button is disabled, Lustre uses the Normal mapping matrix for the configured video raster.
Sync Mode list
Select one of the sync mode options from this list.
| Select: | To: |
|---|---|
| InternalSync | Set the sync mode to a free running internal sync (SD and HD). |
| ExternalSync | Genlock to analog sync connected to the sync input (SD only). |
| TrilevelSync | Genlock to trilevel sync connected to the sync input (HD only). |
Horizontal Delay slider
Use to define the number of pixels by which the horizontal sync output is delayed in relation to the incoming sync. The step interval is half a pixel for SDTV devices and two pixels for HDTV devices. The maximum delay is one line length.
Vertical Delay slider
Use to define the number of pixels by which the vertical sync output is delayed in relation to the incoming sync. The step interval is +/- 1 field for SDTV devices and +/- 8 line pixels for HDTV devices. The maximum delay is one line length.
Video Capture Format list
Select a video capture format to define Lustre's video capture format to a specific file type, colour space, and bit depth.
| Select: | To configure Lustre to capture only: |
|---|---|
| Dpx 10Bit RGB | DPX files with an RGB colour space at a bit depth of 10 bits. |
| Tiff 8Bit RGB | TIFF files with an RGB colour space at a bit depth of 8 bits. |
Audio File Type option box
Choose whether to save audio captured from a VTR/ATR, or imported from Wiretap as a Wave (.WAV) or AIFF (.AIF) file.
Audio Sampling Rate/Bit Depth option box
Select to capture the audio tracks at a sampling rate of 48 kilohertz (kHz) and a bit depth of 16-bit, or 48 kHz and a bit depth of 24-bit.
Single File Capture button
When enabled, all the selected audio tracks are saved in a single file. When disabled, each audio track is saved as an individual file. This option is not available when you are importing audio from Wiretap.
Video Delay (Play) slider
Define the default number of video frames to add before the start of the shot when capturing from the VTR.
Audio Delay (Play) slider
Define the default number of audio frames to add before the start of the shot when capturing from the VTR.
Video Delay (Record) slider
Define the default number of video frames to add before the start of the shot when recording to the VTR.
Audio Delay (Record) slider
Define the default number of audio frames to add before the start of the shot when recording to the VTR.
Auto-Eject button
Enable to set the project's default to automatically eject the tape during EDL capture.
Playout from Timeline button
Enable to set the project's default to play out from the Output view. If this button is disabled, the playout to tape function plays out rendered material only.
VTR Preroll slider
Define the time (in seconds) allowed for the VTR to run up to speed and stabilize to perform an edit.
VTR Postroll slider
Define the time (in seconds) allowed for the VTR to roll after an edit.
VTR Emulator button
Enable to set the project to emulate a VTR.
