CREATING CAPTURE SCHEDULES
A capture schedule is a schedule with one or more clip events, which you use to capture SDI video in real
time. The SDI video is converted to a specific essence, depending on the codec you use, in the Pipeline,
and saved as a digital media QuickTime or TIFO file by Pipeline Control.
Here are the steps you’ll take to create and use a capture schedule:
1. If Pipeline Control isn’t running, start it now (Opening Pipeline Control on page 96).
2. If necessary, create a new, untitled schedule (Select File > New Schedule).
3. Select the Pipeline device which is supplying the video feed you want to capture (Selecting a Pipeline.
(page 102)).
4. Select the video codec and configure it to meet your video encoding requirements (Selecting and
Configuring a Video Codec. (page 103)).
5. Likewise, configure the audio codec to meet your audio encoding requirements (Selecting and
Configuring the Audio Codec (page 104)).
6. Specify the storage location where you want your media clips saved (Storage Location for Captured
Media (page 104)).
7. Specify your clock source (Selecting a Clock Source. (page 104)).
8. Select QuickTime or TIFO as your wrapper (file) format (Selecting a File Format. (page 106)).
9. Set up handles as necessary (Setting up Handles (page 106)).
10. Optionally, select and configure a publisher to perform additional actions as part of a workflow
(Selecting a Publisher. (page 106)).
11. Save your schedule and name it, then continue.
12. Add one or more clip events to the schedule (Creating Clip Events (page 130)). Each clip has a start
time and a duration.
13. For each clip, enter a file name if you want it to be different than the default, and optionally, select a
metadata label and enter metadata (Editing a Clip Event’s Property Sheet (page 131)).
14. Save the schedule.
15. Click Capture to place the schedule into capture mode.
Pipeline Control displays the incoming video stream – verify the stream is what you expect. Pipeline
Control waits for each clip event, and saves each clip as a file in the essence and format you specify.
