# Selecting a VTR Device For Output

The VTR devices available depend on the VTR keyword lines uncommented in the software initialisation configuration file. Make sure the VTR you select is appropriately connected using the corresponding audio, video, and RS-422 connections.

Smoke pre-selects a VTR with appropriate timing when entering the Output clip module, as described in Working with Multi-Format Input and Output.

To select the VTR device for output:

1. From the Device Name box, select a VTR device.
2. Make sure that the selected device is in Remote mode. See Controlling a VTR.
