To use DVgate™ software with a digital video camcorder
❑Do not use DVgate™ software when the connected digital video device is in Timer Recording mode, as this may produce a malfunction in the device.
❑Video captures larger than 2 GB (9 minutes and 30 seconds) are automatically continued in a second file.
❑You can record stereo audio (stereo 1) while capturing video, or you can add audio on the stereo 2 track after capturing the video data.
❑You cannot use different audio modes on the same tape. Perform a separate capture for each audio mode you wish to use.
❑DVgate software does not support hard disk compression. Do not use disk compression if you are planning to work with DVgate software.
❑Title data is saved in the flash memory of a digital video camera and is not transferred to tape by DVgate software.
❑Disable your screen saver program to avoid interruption during your capture sessions.
❑The drop frame compensation feature does not provide accurate compensation adjustments for tapes recorded in LP mode.
❑The information displayed by the capture progress indicator may not be accurate for tapes that are recorded using a mixture of both SP and LP modes.
❑Keep the video head of your digital video device properly cleaned. Anomalies that you see in captured data may be due to dust or other particles on the video head.
❑The last frame captured is one frame before your selected [OUT] point. The frame you see immediately after clicking the [OUT] button is not captured.
