Blackmagic Deck Control
Blackmagic Deck Control is a basic utility used for capture from, and recording
to your tape deck. It is controlled via RS-422 and uses the Sony™ RS-422
protocol.
It is designed to be used in conjunction with applications such as Adobe After
Effects™ and Discreet Combustion™, which do not include their own deck
control capabilities.
Pixel formats supported by Blackmagic Deck Control are:
Blackmagic QuickTime™ RGB (10 bit uncompressed)
Blackmagic QuickTime™ v210 (10 bit uncompressed)
Blackmagic QuickTime™ (8 bit uncompressed)
Apple QuickTime™ PhotoJPEG (compressed)
Apple QuickTime™ DV - NTSC (compressed)
Apple QuickTime™ DV - PAL (compressed)
This utility can capture or playback one video clip at a time. The application
windows, of which there are two, are used for viewing clips and deck control.
The left window is the clip playback window and the right is the capture/deck
window.
