Connecting the Hardware

Connecting Peripheral Peripheral devices such as VCRs and DATs connected to your workstation Devicesallow you to capture and output video and audio material. You can control

this equipment remotely with SOFTIMAGE|DS.

Video Connections

Your system can contain digital and/or analog VCRs and video monitors. If you use an analog video monitor, it is connected directly to the Intergraph StudioZ card, and the composite video signal that it receives is of a lower quality.

Note When connecting the devices, make sure that all video outputs are terminated by the video device to which they are connected. Also ensure that no device is connected to a power source.

To connect a system with digital devices

1.Connect the SDI In on the Intergraph StudioZ card to the SDI Out on the VCR.

2.Connect SDI Out on the Intergraph StudioZ card to the SDI In of the VCR.

3.Connect the SDI loop through on the video monitor to SDI In on the VCR.

4.Set the VCR transport switch to Remote.

5.Connect the COM 1 port on your base unit to the REMOTE IN port on the VCR using the pipeline cable supplied. You should not substitute the pipeline cable with any other cable, but you can extend the RS422 end with other cables if required.

6.Connect the Ref In port on the Intergraph StudioZ card to the House Sync Ref Out.

System Guide

System Administration

To perform system administration tasks, you need to be familiar with the directories and files installed on your system. You should also have sufficient working knowledge of Windows NT to manage user accounts and perform disk performance tests.

Managing projects and project media is performed in SOFTIMAGE|DS. For more information on these tasks, refer to the SOFTIMAGE|DS User???s Guide.

The SOFTIMAGE|DS Directory

This directory contains the SOFTIMAGE|DS executable as well as the various

.dll files required by the software. You should not move or modify these files in any way. The SOFTIMAGE|DS directory also contains the following folders:

???Guided Tour

This folder contains all the files required to run SOFTIMAGE|DS Guided Tour which is a multimedia presentation that helps you become familiar with

SOFTIMAGE|DS.

???Online Help

This folder contains all the files required to use the online help. Online help provides reference information on property editors, dialog boxes, parameters, interface elements, and tasks.

???Papers

This folder contains bitmaps that you can use to add texture to paint strokes, shapes, and titles that you create in SOFTIMAGE|DS.

???Setup

This folder contains all the files required by the setup program which allows you to remove SOFTIMAGE|DS or to add optional software components.

System Administration

The DS Projects Directory

The DS Projects directory contains the projects that you create with SOFTIMAGE|DS. Each time you create a new project, you are prompted to select a location for the project folder. Although you may store project folders anywhere on a local disk, it is easier to manage projects if they are all stored in the DS Projects directory.

The project folder contains the clips and sequences associated with a project. Each project folder also contains a system folder.

!You should not move, delete, or modify the contents of the system folder. The system folder should also be hidden. To hide specific file types, choose Options from the View menu in Windows Explorer.

The system folder contains the following information:

???Source models

Source models are data structures that allow SOFTIMAGE|DS to manage the relationship between clips, sequences and their associated media. Each time you capture media from a new source, SOFTIMAGE|DS creates a corresponding source model. The source model tracks the timespan, quality, and location of the different media files captured from that source. When you play back a clip from that source, SOFTIMAGE|DS consults the appropriate source model to locate the media.

???dsprojectinfo

The dsprojectinfo file contains information about the project format and other project preference settings. For more information on project preferences, refer to the SOFTIMAGE|DS User???s Guide.

The Presets Directory

The Preset directory contains presets which you can use to define effects, transitions, graphics tools, etc. When you create your own presets in SOFTIMAGE|DS and they are stored in this directory.

The Video Storage Directory

The Video Storage directory contains individual folders for each project. Each folder contains the video media and cache files for that project. Each folder???s name is generated by the software and is based on a unique identification string (called a GUID) that identifies each project.

The Audio Storage Directory

Similar to the Video Storage Directory, the Audio Storage directory contains individual folders for each project. Each folder contains the audio media files for that project.

System Guide

How SOFTIMAGE|DS Uses User Accounts
