Avid Technology Car Video System PT ユーザーズマニュアル

chapter 1

Introduction

Avid Media Station|PT software is designed ex-
clusively for audio-related post-production work 
either as a standalone application or in conjunc-
tion with Pro Tools and Avid Mojo SDI, 
Avid Mojo, or Digidesign AVoption|V10 (re-
ferred to here as Avid video peripherals). 

Media Station|PT Limitations

Media Station|PT has the same basic engines and 
components as the full line of Avid editing ap-
plications (such as Media Composer and 
Avid Xpress Pro). However, it has been tailored 
to the needs of the audio post-production work-
flows described in this guide and therefore has 
the following limitations when compared to 
other non-linear video editing applications:

• Editing is limited to inserting, overlaying, 

lifting, and cutting.

• Effects can be rendered, but not added or 

edited.

Video Output Options

Media Station|PT lets you output video using ei-
ther of the following configurations:

• Playback to an external video monitor (Avid 

video peripheral required)

• Full-screen playback on your primary or sec-

ondary computer monitor via DVI output

Playback to an External NTSC or 
PAL Video Monitor

(Avid Video Peripherals Only)

Media Station|PT requires an Avid video periph-
eral for high-quality, frame edge-aligned play-
back of SD video (or 1080 HD video converted to 
SD video) to an external NTSC or PAL monitor. 

When outputting 1080 HD video using this con-
figuration, you can either transcode an HD se-
quence to SD video or down-convert an entire 
HD project to SD video in real-time. Transcod-
ing HD video can take some time but results in 
higher quality output, while down-converting is 
immediate but results in lower quality output.
