Folks....

On Blackmagic's web site, they have a free, no hassle, down load of a 8 bit Mac (Quicktime) and a 8 bit PC color bar test pattern. Look to the right hand margen of this page:

Does anyone -- flatwood, I'm thinking of you :) -- have or know where to get a Nagra Interface Cable (labeled "fully floating line output 4.4v 600 ohm" something like that on the side) adapted to 1/4 in or XLR or something normal? I have the 4.2L. I bought some parts for my Nagra from: ht...

you need capture drivers for the port, which i assume are installed when you install the card. if you do i know premiere and many other programs see it, but i don't see why not. your main problem is probably that your port is sd, not hd, and that it's noisy as hell. /matt Ah, OK.

Thanks gentleman for the tips. I will receive my PAL DVD in a few days and will give the suggestions a try.

Yes, using the component out will yeild uncompressed 1920x1080 HD. You will need an HD capture card. I currently use this exact setup to capture HD using the cinemate. Scott Scott.... Your post was clear to me even with my small brain! I have a Workprinter Jr. so I only capture at 1 fps anyway. I w...

cinecap doesn't have to support hdmi ports. the blackmagic card exports itself as a generic capture device, automatically supported by all capture software. maybe cinecap does some low level firewire optimizations but in general the actualy interface is hidden. ahhhhh! (Fog starting to lift....) Th...

when i need perfect quality i use apple compressor with motion compensated conversion. it works better than great but takes forever on my g4. /matt I need to convert a PAL DVD to NTSC as well, and I need a perfect transfer. I have a dual G4, 1.25GH. I am running FCP HD 4.5 Is apple compressor a sta...

thanks for the link but i'm not sure what the question is... :-) /matt I guess I should have said, it answers many questions for me. :-) Here is a question I hope you or someone can answer for me.

Folks....

I am trying to get my arms around the uncompressed HDMI feed from a HD camera. This short (11 pages) white paper has many answers to what we are chatting about:

are we talking about the blackmagic hdmi card, or are there other options? i've been researching something similar, not for workprinter use though... /matt Mattias.... Here in the US, the Blackmagic HDMI card is reasonably priced at $249: http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/ I would...

Hello This made me to test this on my Sony Digital Camcorder into the Sony Computer with fire wire and DVGate installed in this comp. (something like Cinecap) I wonder also if an analog camera or like you said with a HD camera would be better. Cheers Herb Herb... I suspect the capture would look be...
