Blackmagic Media Express – Capture
26
Capturing a clip with precise In and Out timecode with DeckLink and Multibridge.
Click on the Mark In button to mark the In point or use the shortcut key i.
Click on the Mark Out button to mark the Out point or use the shortcut key o.
Click on the Get Clip button.
Media Express will cue the tape and precisely capture the clip from the In to the Out timecode points, including
any handles specified in the application preferences.
While capturing, if the file name (Name) of a clip already exists on the selected capture drive, the user will be
prompted if they want to over-write the file or not. If ‘No’ is selected, the file name will be auto-incremented
with a number.
Capturing dual stream 3D video
When Media Express is used with a DeckLink HD Extreme 3D+ card, you can create left and right eye 3D video
clips by capturing 2 streams of HD-SDI video simultaneously.
Create a 3D project which matches the frame rate of your dual stream 3D video source.
Ensure you have 2 discrete HD-SDI video inputs to the HD Extreme 3D card.
Naming convention for dual stream 3D video capture
When capturing dual stream 3D in Media Express, the clip name will be applied to the left eye video.
The right eye video will be appended with ‘_right’ text. For example, if you name the stereo clip “Clip 1”, the left
eye clip will be called “Clip 1.mov” and the right eye clip will be called “Clip 1_right.mov”.
