Datavideo MP-6000 Mk2 manual Recording from an Analogue Source

Recording from an Analogue Source

If you are recording from a tape start the tape playing, the video image should appear on the TV monitor connected to the MP 6000 output. If you are recording a live image from a camera you should be able to see the image from the camera on the TV monitor connected to the MP 6000 output.

If necessary you can adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Color and Tint (NTSC Only) of the video image, this is covered in the chapter “Color Correction”. You also have an Audio Input setting that can adjust the volume of the audio prior to recording, see the chapter “Audio Level Adjustment” for more details.
