Selecting the Client Monitor Setting
After you connect the camera or digital deck and Client monitor to your Avid system, you must configure your system to play video to the Client monitor. Use the Video Display setting in the Settings scroll list to configure your system.
To configure Video Display settings:
The Settings scroll list appears.
| 2. | |
Double-click Video Display.
|
The Video Display Settings dialog box opens.
| 1. | |
Settings options are shown in Video Display SettingsSpecify a number
of seconds of video to prefill in the Seconds of Video to Pre-Fill text
box.
|
This setting instructs the system to delay the beginning of playback by
the number of seconds you specify. During this time, the system
processes frames in advance and stores them in memory. When
playback begins, the system starts to display the preprocessed frames
while it continues to process new ones. The system continues to play
back the sequence successfully in real time unless it exhausts its
supply of preprocessed frames. By accepting a delay at the beginning
of playback, you increase the likelihood that the system will play the
material successfully. The maximum delay you can specify is 10
seconds.

want the Record monitor to display.

If you do not have a Client monitor connected, you can still view the video
through the camera eyepiece or through a monitor attached to a deck.
