Image capture is done in two ways, DVgate Motion manipulates the DV device and automatically captures video sequences according to the entries in the IN/OUT list or manual manipulation of the DV device to capture video sequences. When playing back a Hi-8 eight-millimeter tape on a Digital 8 format device or when using a media converter to capture data the imported frame cannot be specified because the time code cannot be determined. Use the IMPORT-Manual mode in these situations or when the digital video camera is in camera mode.
