MOTU VIDEO SETUP

PREVIEW TAB

The Preview tab (Figure 6-10) lets you preview the

video signal being received from the currently

selected input in the Input Source menu

(Figure 6-3 on page 34).

If you don’t see the source video signal

If you have trouble getting the source video signal

to appear in the preview frame, make sure the Final

Cut Pro Capture window isn’t open in the

background. If so, the Status area (Figure 6-1 on

page 33) will alert you to the fact that the host

application is currently capturing or previewing.

The Preview tab and Final Cut Pro

Final Cut Pro takes over the HDX-SDI hardware

when it is the front-most (active) application.

Therefore, the preview window only works when

MOTU Video Setup is active. In this case, Final Cut

Pro releases the HDX-SDI hardware, so you won’t

be able to capture or play anything in Final Cut Pro

while MOTU Video Setup is the active application.

To reestablish communication with Final Cut Pro,

simply switch back into Final Cut Pro.

When previewing a Composite or S-Video signal,

the Preview tab provides several settings for

adjusting the Brightness, Contrast and Hue, as

shown in Figure 6-10 below.
