Premier pro cs6 but not reconizing my aja kona Lhi capture card

tried different driver and plugins but still can't capture with card

The ADVC 300 is more like $400.
Another option is the Matrox MXO2 mini.
For straight DV/ Standard def capture the ADVC 300 does a better job.
However, the Matrox box also gives you the ability to send an HD signal to an external monitor - which the ADVC300 will not do.

Capture card

Hi,
I would like to capture my imac's screen with my macbook pro. (they both have thunderbolt connections.)
I would like to record some gameplay and stream.
What capture card would you recommend?
And what quality would be fine recording?
Specs:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
2,8 GHz Intel Core i5
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris 1536 MB

Thanks!

I know TONS about capture cards. More than most here. Pretty much all of them are designed to take a video signal out from your editing software (FCP, Avid, Adobe...etc) and output that to an HDTV or broadcast monitor...or tape deck. Either mounted in the computer (MacPro Towers...the old silver cheese graters) or connected via Thunderbolt. They don't take a feed from your desktop or games...they only work with editing software...take what you are looking at in the VIEWER and PROGRAM monitor and feed that to external monitoring...via HDMI or SDI or Component cables. They also take SDI, HDMI and Component signals from cameras or decks and capture that in the editing software
What you want to do is take the monitor signal....computer display signal...and send that to another computer so you can capture it. You need something that captures the DVI or Thunderbolt output into editing software. The issue is....there isn't a card that does that. First off, the capture cards are designed to bring in broadcast type signals...not computer ones. So frame sizes of 1920x1080 or 1280x720. Computer signals are like 1600x1200 or other odd frame sizes. No capture card captures that into editing software...as editing software captures only broadcast signals. Yes, there are a few that will work with computer frame sizes (Adobe Premiere)...but only if the files already exist. They won't capture those frame sizes via a capture card.
There is a SCAN CONVERTER type card...Matrox makes one. But what it does is convert your computer display to a broadcast signal. So it'll take a region of interest...a part of the computer display...and using broadcast frame sizes, output a signal to HDMI or SDI for capture by a deck or playback to a monitor....or streaming out of a web streaming device.
http://www.matrox.com/video/en/products/convert_dvi_plus/
I guess you would then need TWO devices...the scan converter to convert the desktop signal to a broadcast one...and then a capture card on the other computer to capture that into your editing software. Decklink.com has a lot of inexpensive capture cards for this. I suggest looking at the Ultrastudio Mini Recorder for this:
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/ultrastudiothunderbolt
I am not aware of a single capture card/device that will take the computer signal from one computer, and convert that to a broadcast signal and capture it with editing software. Now...I'm a broadcast TV editor, so my knowledge is limited to that...so there might be such hardware.

Multithreaded recording video 2 capture cards same time

is it possible to record 2 video and audio input sources with 2 instances of quicktime pro? I figure that a multi core computer would be able to do this. but not sure.
I would be capturing from a DVI/VGA source (no Audio) and a composite source with audio. I have both an Osprey capture card and a Datapath Capture card
Can Qucktime Pro do this with finess?

Some considerations beyond cpu power:
QTPro would not let me start two new recordings at the same time. However you could have another application that can record.
What resolution and frame rate is the dvi/vga? You could have a disk data limit if both resolution and frame rate are high. 640 x 480 @ 75 fps would require more than 70 MBps, for example.
If you want compression but your cards can't do hardware compression you could run out of cpu.

About Capture cards

can't find the old thread Arioch I think you were interested in capture cards.
I found this one and will have it delivered in the next few days it's based on new conexant chips and claimed 720 x 480 capture size
Read about it here

Play back at full screen 1024 x 768 is as good as original except slight shimmer on edges but only occassionaly no artifacts at all.
I don't use the programme that came with it only the driver, I use Cyberlinks PowerVCR and PowerDirector which are really great especially the director
A quirk! the conexant driver seems to effect the idle timer meaning I seem to have lost my standby function I can do it manually but it wont time into standby or hibernation - at least I think it's the driver as in the past week I've added a new keyboard, trackball upgraded the bios to 2.6 and added the capture card it could be anything :P
how did you record AVI or MPEG-2 for that matter? Whenever I record an MPEG-2, I can't view it with any of my players (WMP, Zoom Player, Sasami2k). I can't record AVI and I can't record above 320x240.. help!
I use PowerVCR.

KONA LSe PCIe SD capture card.

Hello there...
Just wanted to pick your brains... I've just finished a long run of work and the boss wants to sort out the edit suite and see if we can improve overall performance etc...
One of the things that was recommended to him by another editor was to invest in a KONA LSe PCIe SD capture card... which sounds all very good but we only shoot on DVcam...
However, even though we won't capture any 10/8 bit uncompressed, am i right in thinking the card would be useful in handling effects etc, therefore reducing the strain/workload on the processors?
In a nutshell... is there any advantage to installing this card, even though we NEVER capture uncompressed media?
Thanks for your opinions.
J,

Increased performance? Render handling? RT effects? Not if you capture DV via firewire. You might get slight performance improvements with footage you captured with the card, but it will not enhance anything, really. Definately not firewire captures. The HD cards do some load bearing processing for HDV and DVCPRO HD, but nothing considerable.
If you capture, edit, and output DV, there is no reason to get this card.

Capture cards and prod. monitors

We are looking to add a PCIe capture card and reasonably priced production monitor to our new MacPro system. My search results mostly pointed toward card pre-PCIe. Any insight into a good pairing would be helpful.
We are not looking at doing any HD at this time, broadcast is questionable. Mostly out to DVD and presentation type work.
Thanks in advance!

Kona 3 or Kona LHe.
Or...these great SD cards/devices that connect via firewire:
AJA I/O, I/O LS, I/O LA
www.decklink.com
Decklink HD Extreme
Capture cards are all broadcast quality. You may not need it, but the option is there.
Why do you need one?

Need Video Capture Card and DVD Burner Quick!

Here's my situation. I've created some movie titles in iMovie and have no way to get them from my Macintosh to my DVD/VCR to incorporate them in a tape I'm making. I need it like NOW as a lot of people are waiting for copies of the tape!
For some time I've wanted a device called a video capture card. It has the ability to play videos on your computer and you can print out images from them. What I want to do is make DVDs of my VHS home movies. I did learn you can't just walk into any local store and buy such a device; it must be ordered.
Desperation is a great motivator and finally (duh) I decided to look at a site specializing in Macintosh products, instead of studying every capture card online. Surprisingly, they offer three models: one cheap ($50-some), one at twice the price of the first, and a third at ten times the price of the second! That's quite a jump! Here's the middle one, which they claim is the best on the planet: http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/detail~dpno~197329.asp
So, as I understand this, I somehow connect this device to my computer (Power Mac G4), hook a VCR to it, and then I can play videotapes on my computer. If I'm in a desperate hurry to burn DVDs I suppose my friend's DVD player will also connect to this device, or am I wrong in this?
Even if I am right (that a DVD player/burner will connect to this) I still don't see how that gives ME a DVD burner with which to transfer my videos to DVD! My combo player will make videos from DVDs but not the other way around! So do I have to run out and buy a DVD burner, and should it be any special kind since it will be used with a device connected to a Macintosh? I need this ASAP so thanks for any advice, or clarification to my understanding of how this process works!

Cornelia,
Lennart's links are very good and informative. But one thing you should know is that an external DVD burner will not play a DVD - it only burns them. Since you want to view the DVD and pause at a particular scene and print it, you'll need some way to view your DVD. You also need a way to convert the iMovie project with the imported VHS footage, to a burnable format. iDVD can do that, but I noticed you have OS X 10.2 (Jaguar). If you don't have iDVD you'll need to buy it from the Apple store.
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/70901/wo/u13Sbz1 DQJRc2kZnHbi1QKZybZA/1.0.19.1.0.8.25.7.11.0.3 or you can buy Roxio Toast 7, but toast is much more expensive. For Toast go to: http://www.roxio.com/
You also need a media player so you can view your final DVD. I did some quick research and found out that none of the free media players allows you to print - which is what you want to do. There are quite a few free media players available, like Nice player and Xine Player, but you need Panther or higher to use them. Because you're running OS X 10.2, the only free media player that you can use is VLC media player. To download a free VLC player go to: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ You do need QT 6.5.2. or higher. So you may need to update your QT.
You can't print a paused image, but you can take a snap shot of the still image, then print that. Snap Shot=CommandShift4. This will allow you to select the paused picture in the screen, or if you like just a portion of that paused picture. It will save on your desktop as a picture. Double click on the Picture, then print that.
Then it sounds like after you've burned the DVD with your titles, you will need to connect a VHS recorder to a DVD player and record your DVD on to VHS tape.
Good Luck,
JAM

Dazzle Capture Card and HDTVs

Okay i have a dazzle capture card and i want to use it with a new hdtv but none of the hdtvs
seem to have the right output unless i dont know what its called please help me!

The N95 does not have facility for a hardwired audio/video input & the PC capture card likewise have only a audio/video input ports, where one can capture video from a video players, or TV receivers. You wanted to stream a video from PC to the phone, its not possible.

FCP, Beta SP and Blackmagic Multibridge Extreme capture card

I'm having problems getting a video signal into FCP via a Multibridge Exteme capture card by Blackmagic Design. I currently have device control and am able to view footage already in FCP on an NTSC monitor so it appears as though the capture card is working. I have my capture setting set to blackmagic NTSC-10 bit (i've tried several different settings). I have the deck connected to the card through the component ports. Here are the specs on what i'm working with:
Mac Pro dual 3.0GHz Xeon
10 GBs of RAM
Blackmagic Multibridge Extreme capture card w/ breakout box
Sony PVW-2650 Beta SP player
FCP 5.1.4
Quicktime 7.1.6
OSX 10.4.10

Under System Preferences go to the Decklink Preferences.
Change the input from SDI to Component and XLR audio
Problem solved.

PPro CS 5.5 and Kona LHi Card on Mac

Hi all,
After a couple of years on FCP it looks like we're switching back to PPro. I have a Kona LHi card on my MacPro 4.1, (2009) an NVidia GTX285 card and 16GB RAM. I have the latest 9.0.1 Drivers and am using the latest AJA Adobe utilities.
I have major lagging issues within PPro 5.5 just moving clips around on the timeline. My audio is very laggy and drops out on occasion, my video is laggy and jittery when scrubbing the timeline and PPro's general responsiveness is woeful and virtually unusable.
Am I missing something here? Is this a problem with the LHi card on the Mac or is it something to do with the AJA Adobe utilities or the GTX285 card? I am at a loss.
Any help or knowledge would be deeply appreciated.
TIA,
Alex Hawkins
Canberra, Australia

Hi Alex,
Good to see you post this. I have the *exact same situation and hardware as you (same Kona board, graphics card, MacPro 4,1, etc...) - and I have been having many problems as well. Was excited to switch over to PPro from FCP (and I'm sure this is going to happen much more frequently now that FCPx is a bust) and had heard of all the speed improvements. But I have had trouble with sluggish timelines (dragging clips around in the timeline lags far behind the cursor) , sluggish editing, dropping audio from the Kona card during cuts. I am about to have some more conversations with AJA about this and also keep searching out clues here on the forums.
My question to you: what kind of footage are you editing that gives you issues? For me, it is H.264 coming from my Canon 5D. Is it happening with all different kinds of codecs and footage? Can you be a little more specific about the issues? (ie when do you experience the sluggishness and the audio dropouts? Does it happen if you disable the Kona player and just use the Adobe player instead?)
I can post more of my findings as I get more time. Hopefully we can track this down.
Thanks,
Danny

I have premiere pro CS6 and a blackmagic intensitiy pro HDMI capture card

I have premiere pro CS6 and a blackmagic intensitiy pro HDMI capture card will I be able to capture HD TV progrsms if I have a HDCP compliant monitor?

No.
As soon as you connect the HDMI cable from your cable box to the BM card it will be seen as non-HDCP compliant.

SDI and RCA Capture Card

Hi all,
im looking for a capture card that can support the Mac Pro and has SDI and RCA input. Ive been looking at blackmagic products but they seem a little hight $1000. I dont need HD just something that can capture both methods. Any suggestions would be great.
Regards

I'm in the same boat. I'm not worried so much about SDI as I am RCA. I still have "consumer" clients who provide me VHS tapes to work with. On my G5 I used the AlchemyTV card for the RCA, but now with PCIe, that is no longer an option.
Pinnacle has this: http://www.macminute.com/2007/09/25/pinnacle-video-capture-mac/ $99.00 MPEG 4 compression (not what I really want)
Blackmagic has this: http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/sd/ $295.00
Good Luck!

Hi
Yes in Device Manager the audio and video have seperate irqs.
Mine are 10 and 17 at the moment.
It seems my SB Live 5.1 doesn't get on with this card and this motherboard. I am having to use the onboard sound.
How compatible is the audigy with this mobo?
