Supplement 1 - Capturing Video

If you have a VCR or camcoder connected via i.LINK (IEEE 1394), you can use video recorded on a tape as video material. The following procedure captures audio/video signal and creates an AVI file, so you can convert it into NSP format using the same procedure shown in “Preparing Video Material” (page 7).

Note: These operations are not necessary to create the demonstration content shown at the beginning.

Please contact your supplier or Sony sales representative for information on the video devices that you can use for capturing.

Other video devices may be used, but depending on the device, some operations, such as shuttle control and cue-up operations, may not be available.

1 Connect the VCR and PC using an i.LINK cable, power the VCR on, and insert the desired cassette. Close all windows except for the main menu.

2 Click [Capture] on the main menu.

You can check the video here.

3 Click [Folder], then select the folder in which the AVI files should be stored.
