Capturing full HD (1920x1080) possible with Blackmagic and/or Aja?

Hey
I'm a fulltime HD video-editor at a tv-station and we're looking into upgrading our editingcells.
At this moment we have only 1 FCP-cell, next to a couple of Avid DS/Symphony/MediaComposer.
Most of the editors + the technical staff wants more FCP-cells for various reasons.
We do have 1 small problem though. At this moment everything in FCP is captured with the DVCproHD-codec instead of full HD. (we have an Aja-card)
So, now we're looking if Aja or Blackmagic has a codec that's 'similiar' to the DNxHD-codec from Avid?
Sure, we could capture everything uncompressed, but that's a tad expensive when it comes to storage.
Is there a way to capture our footage at 1920x1080 (1080i50)?
If so, what card/breakoutbox do you use and what are the specifics of the codec?
If we can't find a way to capture the footage at 1920x1080 then we're stuck with the Avids, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

We are using several Kona LHe

Capturing via HD-SDI using a HDCam Deck
and using the 1080i 25 Apple ProRes 422 Codec.
You will find this as an 'Easy Setup' in FCP 6. This
gives you beautiful images at roughly 1Gb/minute.

    I would like to use slideshow in lightroom to export my video as a full screen 1920x1080 video with text overlays.  I am using text overlay in lightroom as it reads from the metadata that is easy for me to input in the library screen.  When i export from lightroom slideshow and choose the 1920x1080 resolution the end product is a very small video in the middle of a black background.  i have double checked and do not have any borders turned on.  Another option would be to export from the library but lr mogrify does not seem to put text overlays on video either.  Any input would be welcome.

    I dont understand anything you said in your post.
    Do you have a specific question about video production?
    The forums are for individual technical or creative issues that users have with video production. I am sur someone will be able to help you, but and to get a response it is best to ask a specific question.
    Is this about a technical problem you have or something about setting up a web site? If its the latter this is the wrong forum.

  • Some futures in bpel which are not possible with ESB and vice versa

    Can anyone please tell me some futures in bpel which are not possible with ESB and For some features available in ESB that are absence in BPEL?

    I think you've mistaken the meaning of both technologies. ESB actually works as a part of BPEL, for instance you can create partner link from any esb service.
    ESB service can only expose data or retrieve and process (transform) them from another service. BPEL is using services like ESB as a source and adds decision making functionality which is not present in ESB.

    The explanation that is closest at hand is that you have no documents with both of these words in them.
    An alternate explanation is that you have accidently entered "manitest" into your stoplist.

  • Can I measure full bridge gage configurations with SCXI1121 and 1321 terminal

    Hello
    I designed a load cell that uses a full bridge gage configuration. I have at my lab a SCXI 1121 module with a SCXI 1321 terminal block. I need to know if it is possible to use that hardware configuration in order to make de load cell and the data acquisition system fully functional.
    Thank you.
    Best regards from Bogotá, Colombia, South America

    Juan,
    The full brige configuration you are speaking of requires four wires, two for voltage and two for excitation, is this correct? If so here is a link that you might find helpful.
    Full Bridge Configuration
    This reference is for strain gauges, but the connection for a full bridge is going to be the same. The channel plus and minus and excitation plus and minus can be connected to the 1321 for the individual channel. To configure the proper gain, filtering, and excitation mode and level, please refer to the Getting Started with SCXI on pages 3-14 through 3-23 (pages 51-60 in the .pdf).

    OK, another question.  I opened a new blank file and the picture I want to move is in the Photo Bin.  That image is 2 in. X 3 in.  But, when I move it onto the blank image, which is 8X10, it fills up the entire space.  I can't figure out how to put it in the new image in the correct size relationship. 
    Open the picture file, go to Image>resize>image size. Read what the resolution is in px/in, write it down, do nothing else here at this time
    Go to File>new>blank file, Enter the dimensions , resolution the same value that you wrote down in step #1, background color to suit, ok it.
    Go back to the picture file, go to Select>all, go to Edit>copy to put it on the clipboard
    Go back to the blank file, go to Edit>paste
    Get the move tool out of the toolbox, position the picture, and resize with the corner handles of the bounding box, if necessary..
    Note: For printing, the rule of thumb is that the resolution be in the 240-300px/in range, although I have had good results below this value. For web work, 72 px/in is ok.

  • Device Redirection for RD Gateway not possible with MFA and Central Network Policy

    Prior to using Azure MFA with my Remote Desktop Gateway i used a connection authorization policy (CAP), this policy allowed me to limited what devices (drives, printers, clipboard) were redirected when connecting through the gateway. However with MFA i
    had to use a Central Network Policy Servers, which is pointed to my multifactor server, and doing so i know longer have connection policies available to select what device redirection is available. i can set this at the RD session host, however, i only want
    the policy to apply when coming in via the gateway, meaning i don't want users to see their local drives or printers when coming in via Internet, but if they are internal and hit the RD session host i want them to see local drives and printers. So now i have
    no way to limit device redirection if i want to use MFA with my RD Gateway, is there not a work-around for this, this seems like something that was missed?

    It works in my configuration.   I pass back the redirection bitmap from the "base" RADIUS server (that MFA targets) and MFA passes it back to the gateway

  • Am I allowed to video-capture my work with LR4 and then publish it?

    Hi,
    I could not find any relieable information on this, so I'm asking it here.
    I want to capture my screen while working with LR4 and later dub it with  my voice to produce video-tutorials. I want these tutorials to be published on my Blog and YouTube or Vimeo. I know that a lot of people do this but I'm not shure if I am allowed to do this. What makes me so uncertain about this is that with Games you normally are not allowed to do this without permission because of copyright-claims of the content shown.
    Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance

  • Is it now possible with new version of Adobe Muse to create and HTML Newletter.

    I am in a bit of a rush because I have an e-blast to prepare for a customer and I was wondering if it is it now possible with new version of Adobe Muse to create an HTML newletter? I have never created an html newletter before, if it is not possible with muse, and I do not code, would mailchimp be the best choice. If it is possible with muse, would it be possible to please provide me with the steps or a tutorial?
    Thank you.

    The quick answer is, no. The output of Muse is designed to work with popular web browsers on desktops and devices. It relies on many features of HTML that are not supported by e-mail readers.

  • Is pagination possible with jmx metrics on OEM?

    Hi, I implemented a MXBean interface which returns a list of objects (say, 100 rows of data). On oem, the list of 100 row data is displayed. However, I want to paginate that 100 rows, say 25 rows per display. Is this possible? I actually tried to have a parameter on the MXBean operation/attribute as the index and implement the pagination logic on the MXBean, but this still seems not possible because I have to give the value for that parameter at the time when I generate the metadata, and this parameter can not be changed once the monitoring target is added on OEM. So, I am wondering if pagination is possible with OEM, and how can I achieve that?
    Thanks in advance!

    Since by definition a single EM agent must reside on a single database host, then, no, you can't monitor multiple hosts.
    Unless you mean that you want to monitor multiple virtual hosts from a single physical host ... but in that case, you'd still need one host per database host.
    That's just the way EM works. Always has, probably always will.

  • FMLE and 50fps with BlackMagic devices

    FMLE seems to be missing the possibility for 50fps There is a 60, 59.94, 30...fps setting - no 50 fps.
    BM settings (fx DeskLinDuo or Intensity Shuttle) allow me to choose 720p50 - but it is reset to 59.94 every time.
    25fps doesn't work either.
    Must be a missing setting in FMLE. Can't find it with a webcam either.
    How can I fix that?
    Thank You
    Frank

    Seems, FMLE doesnot support Europe 50fps standart at all. Neither 1080i/50 (work when capturing 25fps) nor 720p/50. I'm using Canon XHG1 cameras, which can produce only 1080i/50 fps and JVCs ProHD 251 whis are 720p/50.
    The solution is to use osprey 700 HD capture card, which can hardware reencode to desireable screen size and bitrate (I'm able to stream 720p/50 feed to 720p/25 encoded stream). But they are too expensive.
    With DeckLink SDI capture cards I can only stream 1080i/50 feed capturing 1080i/25 fps (somehow, this encoding preset works). But I have to software deinterlace, so picture quality degrades.
    PS: When I'm using Canon XHG1s, I want to cross convert 1080i/50 feed with blackmagic updowncross mini converter to more affordable 720p/50 feed, which have no deinterlace nightmare.. But this stream I can't capture and stream.
    There is no problems with "NTSC" cameras - 60/30 fps.

  • PS7 and Scratch Disk Full, using XP SP3 with 1 HD... how to fix?

    I've searched the forum, yet couldn't find an answer or fix...  I installed my old PS7 on my new computer running XP with SP3 on a dualcore Intel, 1.5T HD (only one drive), 3Gb of RAM-- not enough money to upgrade PS, computer took first dibs...  PS7 refuses to open - after booting, comes up with a pop-up error stating the Scratch Disk is full, then shuts down.
    My old system (W-2000, 20Gb single HD, with 1.8 Pentium processor, 1Gb of RAM) worked perfectly with PS7 - never had any problems...
    I've tried all fixes possible...  HD is not even close to fragmented as is a new drive; not enough programs installed yet, or use on machine, for disk clean-up to be necessary; forced creation of the preference file (changed name to .old); and did the ctrl-alt-shift to boot to defaults.  No idea what is going on or why it would say scratch disk full.

    Actually, there are no partitions on my drive.  (I didn't realize PS needed a different drive or partition)  My old computer and HD didn't have partitions either, and worked perfectly.
    Could it be an issue with PS7 and the size of the HD?  If so, is there a patch for this?
    The point isn't that Photoshop needs different drives or partitions but that, as you suggest, the old PS 7 has problems with drives much bigger than were imagined in the days it was written.
    However there are advantages in having the the scratch disk on a separate physical drive from the system drive where the paging file normally resides.

  • Full Conductor's score with Logic.  Is it possible?

    I've heard it's possible to create full conductor scores with Logic. Is it truly possible?

    hi,
    as asher pointed out, making a full conductors score is perfectly possible with logic, but there are issues, little problems, limitations and work arounds that have to be known about to make it a smooth experience.
    also, as asher again pointed out, there are many things that are fast on logic than in other dedicated notators, and in general composing the raw material is easier faster and more flexible than a dedicated notator. at least over on this side of the pond, working in logic and exporting to sibelius for the final result is very standard way of operating. now, there is a PDF to XML application which some of us here (not me though - not tried it) have had great success with. i think william levine who does a lot of orchestrating in logic and recommends it.
    if err...you can pardon the forwardness...i have on line some sample scores that might demonstrate what is possible in logic.
    http://www.rohanstevenson.com/
    and go to concert music. 'black ice' or 'devil' are full orchestral scores.
    finally, if you do want to get your feet wet with scoring in logic, aside from j prischls tutorial, my mine bit of advice is to understand to concepts thoroughly - everything else will follow from that.
    1) score styles. you can have as many as you want on a track/instrument
    2) instrument sets. set a KC for their creation. understand what they are and how you can use them to create parts as well as help you edit. incredibly fast and flexible.

  • I am making an album with Snapfish and would like to download ome of my photos from iphoto to snapfish, is this possible?

    I am making an album with Snapfish and would like to download some of my photos from iphoto to Snapfish, is this possible?

    You mean "upload"?
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
