  • Video Input Tool is DIFFERENT

    Posted by Jasonj on February 23, 2006 at 3:26 pm

    I’m running Xpress Pro v 5.0. I have had the system a few months but we are just now getting to set it up. I’m trying to digitize from a Sony UVW-1200 (I able to digitize without a problem by using s-video or the compsoite connection through the Mojo) As i try to configure the video input – I have realized that the Video Input tool that comes up is not the same that I see in the manual.

    I don’t have 100% bars and my sliders are different. In composite or S-Video inputs, I have sliders for Hue, Sat, Brightness and Contrast. I also have a pop up to select the Signal Lock (Choices being TV or Auto)

    I also don’t have a black slider or a video slider so I have no clue how to properly Calibrate the video.

    I feel like I must have a setting wrong which is bringing up the different input tool than what I should be seeing. It just doesn’t makes sense that I would ahve a different set of sliders. I’d appreciate any ideas on how to fix it.

    THANKS!

    Are you on the right input? There are three input tabs – composite, component and IEE1394. You have no control in firewire, a little more in component, and the most in composite…

    HTH,
