Connecting camcorder using capture card

Hi,
I would like to connect a camcorder to a capture card on my computer in order to do some real time image processing. Can you advice me about the brand and model of a capture card?
Thank you

You should try to update your audio drive but not the 2005 dated driver.  Realtek probably has a 2010 dated audio driver.
What model PC and operating system are your using?

  • Connecting xbox to capture card

    I have decided to hook up xbox 360 to my sound system. Since it is right next to my laptop, I thought I would buy 2xRCA(female)->3.5"(male) adapter and plug it into mic slot, so I can adjust capture volume and use it with headphones.
    In a nutshell, here's the diagram:
    | Output -> Sound system
    X
    | Input <- 3.5 <- 2xRCA (left and right) <- Xbox
    I've brought the adapter home, plugged it in and it all worked. Until I decided to test left and right channels independently, that is.
    Strangest thing, one channel seems to be recognized as 'Mic1', other as 'Mic2'. I can jump between them and hear sounds coming from either left or right.
    Any way to combine both 'Mics' into one stereo channel? I've done my googling, but to no avail.
    EDIT: One RCA wire plugged in, 'silent' mic selected. If I increase mic channel volume and enable +20dB sound boost, I can hear sound actually being produced. Very silently though.

    Lawrence,
    I have the same monitor. You will have to go into the monitor's menu and change the source input. However, if it is set to auto then you might run into an issue if both video feeds are active.
    If both of your source devices where HDMI then you could use a HDMI switch. They are fairly cheap.

  • HDV capture card

    I'm looking for a capture card that support HDV camcorders, for G5.
    But it seems that doesn't exist any card: I found only HD or SD capture cards.
    The only HDV capture card that is able to native editing hdv video in realtime from hdv camcorders is the canopus EDIUS NX (and canopus velxus 300 in Japan); but the problem is that canopus hdv card is only for PC.
    I called canopus and they said me that these cards will be for MAC when Apple will release the new powermac intel-based.
    So I read in the apple FCP 5 HD page this:
    "Native HDV Support
    Final Cut Pro 5 supports native long-GOP MPEG-2 editing for working with camera-original HDV video. Unlike other solutions, Final Cut Pro 5 acquires HDV media via FireWire and keeps it in the original format, transferring it into the system without any generation loss. Output via FireWire back to an HDV camera or deck, or transfer your native HDV to DVD Studio Pro 4 for an end-to-end native HDV workflow."
    I know that it is not possible capture a video by firewire from a camcorder without further compressing it. I know that it is for this reason that pro use capture cards (that have dedicated processors for this).
    So I think that there aren't HDV capture cards for mac because the hardware companies don't make new cards for only few months, so they're waiting the new intel-based macs. If so, this firewire technology of final cut pro 5 is a compromise for these last times, or is it really like the capture-card processing? and if so, how is it possible capturing a hdv video by firewire without further compressing it?
    Do you know about a HDV card for MAC or is it really good using Final Cut Pro HD 5 with firewire ?
    Thank you.

    It all depends on what type of work you are doing...
    Capture Cards are for use with other formats that cannot be captured via firewire: BetaSP, Digibeta, HDCAM, D5. They are also require for outputting to these formats.
    Not many broadcast facilities will take a DVCAM master...some will, but most won't. And depending on your client, they may or may not take an HDV master. They may want an HDCAM or D5 master if they are producing HD content. For that you need a capture card and high speed drive RAIDS.
    Why do other pricier systems come with capture cards? Because they are sold that way. FCP, out of the box, is ready to edit DV, DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO HD and HDV...FULL RESOLUTION...no compression. Any need to do higher end requires a capture card.

  • "video capture cards Osprey  100 and 2102

    I'm doing FMLE eSTREAM  with 3.0 and I need a capture card. I have a doubt  about osprey cards 100 and 210. What is the  output format of these cards. buy the card and  install the drivers and is fully compatible with 3.0 FMLE,the output format  is compatible with the formats accepted FMLE 3.0 (I'm using H.264  compression mpeg4 formats are accepted) or need to use that program  osprey "SIMULSTREAM "
    Thank you very much for your reply

    Tell me  to  summarize I  can be used osprey 100 capture card that converts pal to  raw format. the encoded or compressed  FMLE 3.1 using (in my case) H.264 and then the flash media server completes streaming.
    Tell me if using capture cards ATI give me an output format H.264 and use the  FMLE3.1  again and then compress it using H.264 and Flash media server completes streaming, is this  correct?

  • 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,

  • What video capture card are you using? Do you like it?

    Hi there. I'm going to purchase a video capture card so I can feed my camcorder, vcr etc. into my iBook. I want to know what people are using and how they like it. DO you use firewire or USB? etc.

    iMovie (and Final Cut) expect video via FireWire.
    If you select a video over USB solution you will need to find a Mac compatible software application to read and recognize it.

  • Adobe Connect 9 compatible Video Capture Card

    We have used an Osprey 260e Capture card successfully with version 8.  Unfortuantely this card does not work with the Adobe Connect 9 add-in.  Is there anyone in this community that has a decent capture card that works fine with Adobe Connect 9?  Thanks in advance for your help!

    Our Osprey 230 cards worked fine when Connect 9.0 was first released, but now we only get a black screen with Adobe Connect 9.02. Incredibly irritating. I've installed EZCap USB video capture devices until Adobe gets this fixed. Buy on eBay or go to http://ezcap.tv

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

    I have Photoshop Eleent 12 and use a Windows PC.  I hae been using a Canon EOS 50D for several years, which uses a Compact Flash Card.  I have always downloaded pictures by using a card reader wich I connect to my computer. I Go to the Organizer, click on "Import" and select "From camera or card reader".  Once on the Photo Downloader, I select the pictures, chose the folder and click on "Get Media" and all the photos get downloaded. Today I folled the same procedure as always, but ZI'm gettig an error message that reads"Import Failed" followed by another message that reads "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in this Catalog."  I'm puzzled by this message and don't know what to do o get my photos.  Any suggestions?

    The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.

  • 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.

  • Using the Capture function with a Capture Card

    I was wondering why I can't get premiere to recognize my capture card when I try to use the capture function.

    Ah, then you are out of luck. Premiere only captures via firewire.
    If your camera has usb then copy content of memory or card to hard disk then import into Premiere.
