Capture card specifications

What specifications should be met for an image / video capture card, such that I will know that it works with Labview?
Thank you.
Solved!

Are you referring to a frame grabber for a camera? If you want to know whether a non-NI frame grabber can be used with Labview, see this KB: Can I Use My Third-Party Frame Grabber with the IMAQ VIs?

  • I am recording from my computer screen with an elgato game capture card.  Why is the video blurry when I import it to Premiere elements?

    I am recording my computer screen with an elgato game capture card.  When I play the unedited footage on my own computer, it is clear and crisp.  When I import the footage into premiere elements, it becomes blurry.  It becomes even blurrier when I save the edited video.  How do I keep the video clear?  How do I fix it?

    Thanks for the reply.
    Please check out John T. Smith's information.
    At this point, if you could tell us the file extension of the file involved, that would give us a start while you are
    gathering the rest of the details.
    You can easily get some information for us from Properties for your imported video that is blurry in the Editor.
    1. Click on Expert to get into the Expert workspace of Premiere Elements 13
    2. If you have not already, import your file into the program using Add Media/Files & Folder/Project Assets.
    3. Open Project Assets to see a thumbnail for the video that you just imported. Right click that thumbnail,
    and select and click on Properties from the menu that opens.
    4. Tell us what is listed there is Properties - it should look something like this one which is specific for one of my wmv files.
    Your information will be specific to the file that you right clicked in your Project Assets.
    From what you have written so far, yours should show
    Image Size 1920 x 1080
    Frame Rate either 59.94 or 60
    Also, please go to Edit Menu/Project Settings/General, and tell us what you see for
    Editing Mode
    Timebase
    Frame Size
    Pixel Aspect Ratio
    even if the fields look grayed out.
    Your project settings may be contributing your Edit area previewing problems.
    All of the above will keep us moving forward in the troubleshooting.
    Thanks.

    hi all,
    sorry for a the newb question but i am interested in
    streaming HD using the FME. is there a list of recommended capture
    cards? is there a recommended card for non professionals?
    which hardware specification do i need if i want to capture
    two streams simultaneously?

    Hello,
    My name is Felix Kolotinsky and I am FAE at AVerMedia Technologies, Inc USA office.
    AVerMedia has a product AVerTVHD DVR  that works with Flash Media Live Encoder 3.1, AVerTVHD DVR is capable to capture HD quality up to 1080i from build int HDMI, Component YPbPr and Analog from S-Video and Composite.
    If you are interested, here is link to product description http://www.avermedia-usa.com/AVerTV/product/ProductDetail.aspx?Id=482
    Below is screenshot that I took from FMLE using AVerTVHD DVR, my source was HDMI from Direct TV Set top box, in this case I was encoding in 1080i source into 720x480, you can Encode up to 1080i, however this requires Quad Core CPU
    If you are interested, please contact me directly: [email protected] and I will assist you with setup.

  • Image acquisition using video capture card

    I am developing an application for Single fiber fusion splicer...my application basically has to capture the picture from the splicer using a Video capture card...Is it possible to use IMAQ session to get the picture from the card,store it a file and display the same using labview??or is there any other suitable way instead of IMAQ???

    Cyril,
    A typical image acquisition system consists of the following
    components:
    Camera » Framegrabber board » Image Acquisition Software »
    Image Processing Software
    The software in this application is of course LabVIEW.  The ease of integration of it with your
    camera and framegrabber board is dependent on a number of variables and I
    discuss that further in the rest of this post.
    Camera
    It looks like you already have a camera picked out, but I could not find
    any information on the VHR-1000 on the internet.  Who is the manufacturer?  Can you provide a link to information
    available about it online?  NI does
    not actually make cameras; we simply connect with third party
    cameras.  We have a list of the
    various cameras that are tested and supported by our hardware available at
    http://www.ni.com/cameras
    Here are two more documents that will discuss camera options in more
    detail:
    Choosing A Camera
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3087
    Image Acquisition
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/2808
    Framegrabber
    board
    The framegrabber board is what will be responsible for taking the signals
    from your camera, either digital or analog, manipulating them
    appropriately, and storing them in computer memory.
    The framegrabber board you choose will largely depend on the camera you
    choose and the interface it uses. (Interfaces are discussed in the Image
    Acquistion document mentioned earlier)
    It looks like you already have a Domino Maxi framegrabber board, which
    LabVIEW may or may not be able to interface with.  Could you please provide more
    information and possibly a link to some info on this framegrabber board?
    Choose NI Vision Hardware
    http://www.ni.com/vision/hardware.htm
    Image
    Acquisition Software
    The Image Acquisition software is the software responsible for bringing
    images into the computer in conjunction with the framegrabber board or
    IEEE-1394 bus.  Depending on your
    interface, you will need either NI-IMAQ (framegrabber) or NI-IMAQdx
    (IEEE-1394).
    Image
    Processing Software
    For image processing in LabVIEW, you will need the Vision Development
    Module.  It’s product page can be
    found here:
    Vision Development Module
    http://www.ni.com/vision/vdm.htm
    This software will enable you to do any type of image processing that your
    application may require.
    Those are the basic components of an image acquisition
    system.  Hopefully you will be able to
    follow those links and gain a better understanding of what exactly you need to
    be able to setup the kind of system you are looking for.  This presentation provides a great deal of
    general information and may be able to answer some more specific questions you
    have:
    Imaging Fundamentals
    http://www.ni.com/vision/vdm.htm
    It also discusses camera and lens selection with respect to
    the image size and detail that you need. 
    Please let us know if you have any further questions related to this.

  • ViewCast Osprey 260e Capture Card

    I am using Adobe Premire Pro 6 with a ViewCast Osprey 260e Capture Card. After following all of  the troubleshooting advice available (such as http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/cant-capture-dv-hdv-video.html), Premire Pro still does not recognize the card, as any attempt to capture video results in "Capture Device Offline". I am able to capture video with freeware such as VirtualDub. My main question is, is this card compatible with Premire Pro CS6?

    PPro will only use a "card" when the card vendor has written a device driver to act as a "bridge" between PPro and the card's hardware
    If your card vendor has not written a device driver that is specific to PPro, your card will not work
    I have a Pinnacle DV500 card to digitize video from a VCR... and I have to have a dual boot setup so I may restart my computer and use WinXP and the OLD Premiere 6.5 to be able to use the old device driver that Pinnacle wrote for Premiere 6x... and never updated to Premiere Pro

  • Urgent: Unable to capture from TV Capture Card

    Hello,
    I'm Ashish Shukla. I'm writing an application in JMF 2.1.1b using J2SE 1.4.0 on Win32 platform on Intel Celeron 1 GHz processor which captures from the capture device. It works fine on Intel Create & Share CS110 Web Camera. But now, I'm try to capture from the TV Capture Card Pinnacle Studio PCTV TV Capture Card (Composite Video).
    But JMF Registry is not able to detect the TV Capture Card (connected alone) & my PC hangs. But, when WebCamera is plugged in, JMF Registry detects it.
    When Both WebCamera (USB port) & TV Capture Card are plugged in, then JMF Registry detects only Web Camera.
    If anyone can help me resolve the problem. I'm very thankful.
    Yours sincerley,
    Ashish Shukla
    Wah Java!!

  • I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them to upload to youtube but it won't let me import them.

    I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them so i can upload them to youtube but it won't let me import them, even after changeing them to MP4 format, it just comes up with the message: "No Importable Files None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again."
    Ive even tried opening in itunes and copying from thier but they wont open in Itunes, no message or anything they simple just dont open. its strange because it does open in quicktime player.
    please if anyone has any ideas that can help me please let me know XD thanks.

    First problem: You're fine. The hotter it gets, the more the fans spin up. The computer is designed so that at max load, at max fan speed, it won't overheat (unless it's obstructed by something, e.g. sitting on your bed swallowed by a comforter). It's not the best thing to keep it that toasty for days at a time, but a couple hours at a time shouldn't be a problem.
    Second problem: If something in the trash won't delete, just use Secure Empty Trash and it should be fine. Since .torrent files are quite small, it should only take a couple seconds.

  • BlackMagic Intensity Pro Capture Card & (3) 1TB Internal Hard Drives

    Hello,
    This is my first time using BM Intensity Pro. Prior to tonight all I used was FW400 & iMovie/iDVD.
    I have now upgraded to Final Cut Studio with a BM Intensity Pro Capture Card and Three 1TB Hard Drives (7200 RPM with 32MB cache) - Striped as a RAID set to create ONE 2.7 TB HD for Video Storage.
    I have a few questions that I would like some help with.
    I would like to capture at the highest video quality possible.
    I'm worried that Hard Drives wont be able to handle the capture speed or file size?
    I ran the BM Disk Speed Test. I'm just not sure what all these numbers mean?
    Can someone please explain to me what the following information is telling me?
    Do the results mean that I'm good to go with uncompressed HDV via HDMI?
    The first is my OEM Mac Hard Drive. The second is my 3TB RAID set.

    I would invest in an external RAID controller.
    You can find a variety of such from AMUG in RAID5/6 that will support higher sustained thruput.

  • Plug-in for StarTech Video Capture Card

    StarTech'website shows their ECHDCAP ExpressCard video capture card supports Adobe Premiere CS5 plug-in for editing. I talked to a Tech at StarTech and he said the card should work with Premiere Pro CS5 & CS6 but StarTech doesn't support it, and he didn't know where I can get the Premiere SC5 plug-in. Does anyone know what plug-in StarTech is referring to, and where I can get it?
    If anyone is currently using the ECHDCAP capture card or the StarTech USB3HDCAP Capture Device, please let me know how you got it working with Premiere Pro.

    Ann & Bill,
    I probably should have given you more information. This application is different than what I usually use Premiere for.
    One of my hobbies is shooting long range rifles at 1,000 yards. I'm trying to capture the point of impact on steel targets 500 to 1,000 yards away. I've attached my XA10 to my Swarovski spotting scope so I can see the impact. I've been transferring the video from the XA10 to my computer through the USB port, then importing the video into Premiere and adding it to the sequence. By the time I get all this done, then scrub the video to find the frame with the initial BANG, then count 41 frames forward for 870 yards, then scrub the video again to find the impact point, the wind and several other conditions have changed which affect my next shot. this makes for a long and tedious day.
    The bottom line is... I'm trying to streamline my workflow so I can capture the video from my XA10 straight to a Premiere sequence, then start scrubbing the video to find the point of impact.
    The reason I'm using Premiere is because none of my other programs allow me to scrub with audio.
    I would prefer not to spend $600 for a Maxtor MX02 Mini and ExpressCard adapter; especially since it requires 110 volts and that's not available at the shooting range.
    If you know of another way to do this, or can recommend an inexpensive program that will allow me to capture audio and video from my XA10 and scrub it with audio, I'd sure appreciate hearing about it.
    Thank you,
    Brian Scura...

  • What is the BEST cable connection from Canopus ADVC 300 to Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card?

    I must connect an ADVC 300 to a Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card.   For best quality, which cable should I use?
    On the ADVC 300 there are outputs of firewire, S-VHS and RCA.
    On BMPro it's a little confusing. On the breakout cable there are connectors that say:
    -5 B-Y OUT
    -4 Y OUT
    -3-R-Y OUT
    -7-R-Y IN
    -8-Y IN
    -9 B-Y IN
    -15 AUDIO IN RIGHT
    -10 AES/EBU OUT
    -12 AUDIO LEFT OUT
    -14 AUDIO LEFT OUT
    -13 AUDIO RIGHT OUT
    With the BMPro, there is also a separate, shorter cable.  On one end it looks like S-VHS and on the other there are two connectors, one black and one blue.
    On the actual BMPro Express card strip instead of using the breakout cable, there is HDMI IN (and HDMI OUT). 
    How should I connect this?  Is there an adapter cable of FIREWIRE TO HDMI? 
    Any help is much appreciated. 

    Well, when I researched how best to digitize VHS (into Final Cut Pro 7), I learned two of the best devices to use are BMPro and Canopus ADVC 300.  I’m using the ADVC 300 for the built-in time base corrector.  I definitely want to use that to stabilize the video.  I also read how well BMPro improves image quality.  So, I thought to use the two together must produce outstanding quality (well, as good as VHS can be). 
    Perhaps I got confused into thinking I can use both.  But the BMPro appears to have an S-VHS adapter. 
    I guess I’m wondering what is better quality: 
    Run the firewire from the Canopus ADVC 300 converter directly into the firewire port on the Mac Pro
    Or, run an S-VHS cable from the Canopus ADVC 300 into the BMPro Capture card
    (I should mention that I have purchased all these items and already have the BMPro Card installed so at this point it’s not a cost issue, but rather an issue of simply which works best?)

  • Use Camera with capture card

    Hi,
    I'm using the camera method to view input from a webcam or to
    view input from my capture card locally.
    My webcam looks perfect, but I don't see any input from my
    capture card.
    Of course I've got input (tested with windows media encoder).
    Should I activate or define the input (composite video,
    s-video) or anything.
    If yes.... How do I do this...
    Thanks.
    greetz Vince

    Hi,
    I have a similar problem. I want to use a webcam by the
    composite connection and a dvd-recorder by the s-video connection
    of the same capture card. How do I manage my flash application to
    get the correct input source, that I have defined inside the
    capture card configuration tool ?
    Thanks,

  • Blackmagic Capture Cards?

    Anyone using Blackmagic capture cards?
    I have an Intensity Pro. Composite and s-video work fine. I
    cannot get component working with a 720p or 1080i signal. FMLE
    doesn't give me the option to select a resolution higher than
    720x486. I haven't tested the HDMI input. Any ideas?
    Maybe the problem is related to
    this
    post?

    The video doesn't work for me.
    I can get video output from the blackmagic media express software.
    set to 1080i 59.94
    The control panel for the blackmagic is set to 720p HD to SD letterbox 16:9 downconvert....
    But when I launch the FMLE i just get a blank screen.
    I'm told there is an ACC plugin to fix the audio isssu.  HDMI is outputing sound at higher then 44100 so you need a plugin to deal with that...
    But my probelm is with the video... I don't get a video stream....
    Hell it would be nice if FMLE would support 1900x1080 and not make me mess around with all this....
    anyone hanve any ideas?

  • "fire wire" video capture cards for mac pro

    ....Have Power Mac ver. 10.9.5 system Maverick w/ 4 MB RAM & am trying to locate hardware for:
    acquiring "FIRE WIRE" video capture cards for mac pro.... ? Any suggestions....?(Just purchased Adobe CS 5 premium)

    Your question doesn't make much sense.
    What type of Mac Pro do you have? Is it the new black cylinder or the old style silver tower?
    Firewire is built-in to the old models & the new Mac Pros can use Thunderbolt to Firewire converters to capture from Firewire sources.
    Maybe like this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
    Many older cameras used Firewire for capturing, but that has been replaced by other connection types. What are you trying to capture from?

  • Do I have to have a capture card to use FCP?

    I'm considering laying out the dough to upgrade from FCE to FCP but I noticed that the apple site says I have to have a "support 3rd partycapture card". I'll admit I'm green on what that means.
    I currently import all my video media directly from my sony z1u via firewire.
    Does the firewire import negate the capture card requirement?
    If not, can someone recommend the necessary capture card for a Mac Pro 2.66?
    thanks in advance...
    -James

    No, you'll be fine with just standard FireWire, capturing HDV (of DV if your downconvert in the camera) from your Z1U.
    If you were to use any other (more expensive) capture card, to maybe capture uncompressed HD from the component outputs of your Z1, the image quality won't be any better, as the image is compressed to HDV to be recorded on tape.

Maybe you are looking for
