You can capture audio and video from an HD device with
an SDI port. Your computer must have a supported SDI capture card,
and its drivers and software installed. Similarly, you can capture
HD footage from XDCAM SDI sources provided a supported XDCAM capture
card is installed, along with its respective driver. Correct installation
adds HD presets to the Available Presets pane of the New Sequence
dialog box. It also adds HD formats to the Capture Format menu on
the General tab of the Project Settings dialog box.
You typically connect the HD device to your computer by connecting
its SDI ports by coaxial cable with BNC connectors. To provide device
control (Windows only), you also connect the serial port on the
device with an RS422 or RS-232 port on the computer. See the setup
instructions provided by the capture card manufacturer.
Important: You can transfer and import DVCPRO HD assets,
XDCAM HD and XDCAM EX assets, and AVCHD assets from their media
without capturing. Capturing takes longer than transferring, and
does not preserve all metadata. For more information, see Importing assets from tapeless formats.
