DV Capture and Print-To-Tape ToolsCapture DV from a variety of sources with automatic scene detection, batch capture, tape logging, media bins and thumbnail previews. Print projects to DV tape directly from the Vegas Pro timeline with NTSC or PAL color bars, tone, and source file or timeline timecode windows.
Support for Gigapixel-Size Pictures New!With Vegas Pro 9 software you can pan, scan, and crop extremely large images to create a movie sequence while maintaining HD resolution. Vegas Pro 9 software also supports video stills from professional-level camcorders and still cameras that take stitch multiple pictures together to form a large single image.
Capture to MXF from SD/HD-SDI Devices New!Take legacy HDCAM or DVCPRO 100 video tapes or live feeds and convert them to MPEG-2 files conforming to the MXF standard. Use these files in Vegas Pro software immediately or store them on a server for future use. The Sony MXF file format is roughly one-fourth the bit rate of other HD compression technologies such as Avid DNxHD or Apple ProRes, making it more efficient for hard drive storage. Despite its small file size, a MXF file can still produce a beautiful 4:2:2 image at a full 1920x1080 raster. Supported Devices
