Capture cards for macbooks

I am looking for a capture card or a device the I can stream live gameplay from my ps3/tv to my mac so I can live stream it to a website like ustream or mogulus. I have been looking for a device but I don't know what works. Does anybody know what im looking for? I'm not sure if video for mac lets me stream it live to a site.

Look at the Canopus ADVC300. Audio and Video go in, FireWire comes out. It also comes with a nice Macintosh application that works flawlessly with iMovie 06 and iDVD 08/09.

Capture Cards for MacBook

I want to video tape my Xbox games, and I'm wondering which capture card would be the best for a Mac computer and what do I also need to use it. Thanks

Hi B2,
I'm not sure how you would use your Mac computer to capture Xbox 360 gameplay but I've heard that the AVerMedia devices work great for this in general.

"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Many older cameras used Firewire for capturing, but that has been replaced by other connection types.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?

Video capture card for dul 1.4

Anyone know of a reasonably priced video capture card for archiving old video tapes?
g4 dual 1400 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If you use iMovie, FCE, FCP, BTV or Live Capture and an analog-to-digital converter you can capture via Firewire; the converter will do the job of the capture card. One of the more popular models is the Canopus AVDC-110.

Power Mac Video Capture card for G5 Quad

Can anyone direct me to where I can get a video capture card for my Power Mac G5 Quad.
I would like to directly connect my DVD player to my G5.
Can I do this and what do I need and where can I get it. Thank you for your guidance!

Canto makes a nice firewire video digitizer for under $ 200 that will handle full (non-HD) resolution video. If you already have a mini-dv camera or can find a used one cheap (maybe one where the tape transport is bad) you can connect the camera to your G5 via Firewire, and then use the camera's auxiliary video and audio inputs to connect the source you want to digitize.

Video Capture Card for Adobe Connect

Does anyone have any recommendations for a video capture card for the Mac to use with Adobe Connect? I have a HD camera that I want to connect to my Mac through the S video connection on the camera. I need a video capture card that will work with Adobe Connect.

The Video Telephony Pod is the video pod when Video Telephony Conferencing equipment/cameras are configured to talk with Adobe Connect. This was introduced in Connect 8.1 for SIP and H.264 based VTC systems. It will only work with H.264 video streams from the VTC type cameras found in conference rooms. Usually the major players in the U.S. are Polycom and Tandberg.
The VTC Pod appears as a standard pod once the administrator of an Adobe Connect on-premise server has configured the various admin screens and added the SIP addesees to the configuration xml file.
The video quality is different than the webcam video as here is a table:
Tandberg 990:
Profile Level At FMG End
Video Out At Device
High
1200.0kbps 448p
Medium
600.0 kbps   448p
Low
250kbps       CIF
Tandberg Edge 95 MXP:
Profile Level At FMG End
Video Out At Device
High
1700 kbps w720p
Medium
600kbps    w448p
Low
250kbps    w288p
More information on formats:
768 x 448@30fps (w448p)
576 x 448@30fps (448p)
512 x 288@30fps (w288p)
352 x 288@30fps (CIF)
176 x 144@30fps (QCIF)
So, that HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW refer to the Adobe Connect room preference setting for video. Notice that HIGH shows we can deliver 720p resolution.
The normal webcam video pod is locked to 480p (VGA) 4x3 resolution at 20 frames per second but the server admin on an on-premise install can alter a configuration xml file to go 24 fps but not higher than VGA on the webcam pod.
Probably more than you ever imagined I would share but that's my style.
Take care.

Need OPTIONS for capture cards for Beta SP

Hi all...I'm a FC newbie and looking to upgrade from an OLD M100 system to a FC system. I would like to hear what you all have to say about
1. The capture card for digitizing Beta SP
2. Which card would be best (price and proformance) for DVDs...now I mean which card will capture Beta SP with the best quality to be used for DVDs.
3. and which harddrives do you prefer.
thnx in advanced
mark

For working with BetaSP, price & performance-wise, the Aja IO La box is great. It connects via firewire, but allows capture in DV, DV50, 8- and 10-bit Uncompressed.
It has RS-422 control for your deck, and 4 channels of analog audio in & out.

Capture Card for Flash Live Media Encoder

Hello,
I need help finding the best capture card for the flash live media encoder. Any suggestions?

The problem you have is that your game and FMLE are competing for CPU time. Running FMLE is very CPU-intensive because of the work of encoding video. When FMLE consumes all your CPU there is nothing left to run the game. Instead of cropping I would suggest that you change your monitor resolution to 1280x720 (this is still HD, just not 1080 "full HD"). Increasing the screen size then cropping it back down is just another task you are throwing at the CPU that it can't cope with.

HD/SD Blackmagic Capture Card for G5 Quad Power PC

Hi,
Can someone give me some advice on buying a good, reasonably priced capture card for my G5 powerpc quad. Its still running very well and I'd like to extend its professional use for a little bit
longer as I suspect that the next incarnation of desktops is possible months away.
I'm assuming a BlackMagic card is best suited due to my limited budget but I'm open to suggestion.

You haven't said what formats you're hoping to capture, but I'd imagine one of Blackmagic's Decklink cards would work for you (Intensity Pro is not compatible with non-Intel macs).
Pay attention to the hardware requirements though: http://blackmagic-design.com/support/detail.asp?techID=76

Good capture cards for Mac?

Does anyone know of capture cards for Mac that work well for FMLE?
The list of tested cards in the Device Compatability Matrix only appear to be for Windows.
I see discussions about the Blackmagic cards, for example, that indicate those have problems in many situations.
Any tips are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sage

Thanks! And the Canopus ADVC 110 is also external via firewire, which is
even better.
Cheers,

Capture card for laptop

I'm wondering what capture cards people have gotten to work with either Mac or PC laptops and Flash media encoder. SDI + HDMI + Analog in woul be nice but any two would work.
Thanks
Philip

Black Magic Design (www.blackmagic-design.com) make a USB3 capture card that will capture SD and HDMI inputs. The other option I know of is the epiphan range of DVI framegrabbers - they have a DVI2USB option. Howver I have heard reports that the epiphans don't necessarily capture great quality but have been unable to test this myself. The epiphan devices cost about 4x the black magic devices.
If you have a very recent Mac model that has the new thunderbolt interface then Black Magic also have a thunderbolt version of the Intensity capture device. If I had money for a new laptop and a new cap device, I would be getting a MacBook Pro and thunderbolt intensity card.

Capture options for Macbook

Hi,
I tried searching for an answer to this but couldn't find the exact answer I was looking for.
How do you capture on a Macbook? There's only one firewire port and you're not supposed to capture to your startup drive/same drive FCP is running from. The posts I've read state that it isn't ideal to share two devices (an external Hard Drive) on a single firewire port. Wouldn't I run into problems capturing from my camera to an external firewire drive when both are connected to the computer via a hub?
I used to use a PowerMac which had two Firewire ports...
Thanks in advance,
Pete

Thanks guys. I just picked up a Western Digital external drive and was wondering why it had two firewire connections on the back. Now I know. They should really do this for USB devices.
I'll give this a shot and see how things go. It's a little odd how Apple positions itself as a leader in editing video for the consumer with such a limitation on ALL of it's consumer based computers???
For the iMac, they need to shrink the insides so there's room for a second HD. Especially with the benefits of SATA and their dropping prices. That and an upgradeable video card but I'm really dreaming there.
I can accept that they wouldn't see a MacBook as a video editor and pass on the expansion card slot. Like that would ever happen in the first place.
I'm not looking forward to firewire based speeds for editing in FCP... I'm starting to miss my tower, oh well.
Thanks again,
Pete

What Capture Card For Analogue Footage?

I am trying to capture old footage from VCR tapes and Sony Hi-8. I have FCE 3.5.1 installed on MacBook Pro 2.4GHz. What kind of capture card would be required? Any advise?

You might want to do a search on this forum for the PYRO. I remember seeing it in a number of discussions about problems.
With a laptop, you are limited to an external analog/DV converter. The analog material is fed into it using S-VHS/RCA cables and the DV comes out via Firewire into the computer. (as you probably have figured out ...)
The Data-100 Ian mentions is one choice, the other is the ADVC line from Canopus. Personally, I've had good results with the ADVC-300. It includes a line TBC which helps with the chroma and timing issues old analog material will invariably have.
Oh, and get an external firewire drive to store the media. You do not what to be placing these large files on your system disk.
Good luck.

Vidoe capture card for local viewing of cameras?

Hello,
I am trying to diplay the capture of a camera that I have on
my video capture card locally. I can't see the cameras when I try
to add the camera. I have a USB camera that works without problems.
However, when I use the same code and try to connect to my video
capture code, the cameras aren't available.
Does anyone know a video capture card that works with Flash
8? I would prefer a VCC that can support more than one camera. I am
trying to view the cameras locally is all. Nothing fancy!

I see this link, but I would like info from someone who has
experience with the capture cards. I looked at all these sites for
quite sometime and couldn't find anything definitive..

Video Capture Card for New AluBook

As I am sure you guys all know the new 'books don't have firewire. This eliminates a lot of good options for a video converter. What is my best usb option? I know the elgato eye tv converter is nice but it's expensive. I would buy it but knowing that you can get a windows friendly version for less than $40 it's just seems criminal. Thanks!

If you use iMovie, FCE, FCP, BTV or Live Capture and an analog-to-digital converter you can capture via Firewire; the converter will do the job of the capture card. One of the more popular models is the Canopus AVDC-110.
