If you intend to use the emulator as a Player, it is recommended that you connect an external AES signal

such as a tone to the input of the system serving as the VTR emulator. This ensures the Player is stable

and correctly synced.

NOTE Connect an RS-422 control cable to the serial ports between the devices used in the VTR emulation

process. This applies to an Autodesk Visual Effects and Finishing application only: Make sure that the serial

ports correspond to those defined by the Emulator keywords in the software initialization configuration file.

See the description of the Emulator keyword in the Autodesk Visual Effects and Finishing Configuration File

Reference Guide.

NOTE The RS-422 cables for VTR emulation require custom pinouts. See VTR Emulation RS-422 Control

Cables on page 29.

3 Make sure the appropriate video and audio sync setup is in place.

VTR Emulation RS-422 Control Cables

Custom cables are required to control the VTR emulator. The pinouts required by the cable depend on the

workstation and device involved in the VTR emulation process. The following diagrams depict the control

cable pinouts required for the most common VTR emulation setups.
