CS4 capturing real time with Panasonic HDC TM20

I am very disappointed that after all this time the the supported video camera list is still very small. What good is an editor if you are limited on what camera you can use. Regardless of being able to access the media off the memory card I wish to use the device directly as well. This inconenience tells me not to buy adobe next time.This is stated to nix any comments to use files instead.
When I first bought CS 4 I was told this list would be updated and increased in time, obviously this was incorrect. Is there any setting that will allow me to access my camera directly?
Thank You.

It is great and wonderful that most editors take firewire. Now, how many computers up until the time of my first post came with firewire? Not many. I just bought a mac last fall, that did not come with firewire. So, that statement does not take in the reality of what most people have.
More importantly, it was advertised that CS4 "will take your video" right off the camera. The point being here is convenience. Ann, may have given the best answer yet, that it is faster off the memory card rather then the hook up to the camera. I am used to it now.
Again, the point is what was advertised. If I needed firewire it should have been clearly stated. We live in America and if Adobe does business in America this is not something that should be found out by trail and error after purchase.
Over all I am happy with the product. I am not happy with how this was sold nor am I happy that the comments here stating I should have known or expected. That is what the sales department is for. If I should have known we get back to my first comment. I dont need to do business with Adobe if I should have known because quite frankly I am not a mind reader.
Not all customers are expert video editors. So, we rely on accurate information being told to us to make our decision.
As far as I am concerned this was not an unreasonable question nor expectation. My goal at the time was to be able to take a video and show my customers the video right then and there in a very quick manner. Sure, taking out the card is just a few seconds longer, but having a smooth presentation and only hooking up a wire is much nicer.
At this point I think I will check out other video editing programs and I will be judging them on how much valid information they readily give out.

  • Capturing real time movies - HDV

    Hello,
    When I try to capture HDV in real time with QT 7.2 using Canon HV20 I can't get any pictures. I can record but the final movie will be an empty white screen.
    QT recognizes the Canon HV20 but will not record HDV format movies.
    Is there anything I'm doing rong with QT?
    Thank you.
    There is no problem capturing real time SD movies.

    I doubt the mac has the power to do real time encoding of HDV like you want - even iMovie uses a time delayed import with a conversion to Apple Intermediate Codec to keep up with capturing. Real time seems terribly unlikely.

  • Can I use Labview real time with PCI 6013?

    How much does Labview real time cost?
    Do i need to have some additional hardware to use labview real time with PCI 6013?

    You can not use the PCI-6013 board with LabVIEW Real-Time.
    We offer three platforms for LabVIEW Real-time. PXI embedded controllers, 7030 data-acquisition plug-in boards (7030/xxxx) and FieldPoint. For more information on these options go to www.ni.com/products and then choose Real-Time from the menu on the left. There are PCI versions of the 7030 boards. Each 7030 board has a data-acquistion board attached to it (6030E, 6040E or 6533). When you embed a LabVIEW Real-Time program on the 7030 you will be able to access the daughter board. You can not access other boards from the embedded program. If you want to use several daq cards in your real-time system I would recommend a PXI chassi and PXI daq boards.

  • Log and transfer with Panasonic HDC-HS100

    I recently purchased the Panasonic HDC-HS 100, that is a hybrid SD card/HDD. I am having problems importing my footage onto my computer. When opening the log and transfer window in FCP, it does not recognize the camera (error messages indicate there is an invalid directory structure). Also, the media has been saved to my computers hard drive. How do I get this footage on my computer so I can start editing! Thanks for the help.

    Hi David - I'm actually having the exact same problem:
    Have the HDC-HS100, trying to import the internal files into Final Cut Express 4 using the "Log & Transfer" program. I've tried several times to "Add Clip to Queue" but it continuously says "1 clip queued - idle."
    And help would be much appreciated. Just got back from a 2-month trip to Central America with some great footage that I can't even touch!

  • How do you interface a Renishaw laser real-time with NI DAQ?

    I understand that it is possible to acquire "real time" feedback from a Rensishaw Laser while measuring linear position, with the following modifiers applied.
    *The standard output is a digitized value to a proprietary (Renishaw) data acquisition (DAQ) card.
    *Renishaw lasers have a quadrature output facility on the back of the laser head. This permits capture of the �raw� interferometry signal. This raw signal is not compensated for environmental factors such as temperature, air pressure, humidity, etc.
    *The standard system integrates signals from an environmental unit for air temperature, pressure, and humidity, as well as signals from up to three material probes. Acquisition and pro
    cessing of these or equivalent signals would have to be considered to provide data for environmental compensation calculations (Edlen equation). This is mandatory in order to obtain accurate distance and velocity readings.
    *The quadrature output can communicate with other cards. (NI DAQ?)
    Specifics with regard to Labview software and required DAQ to read real time Laser output would be very much appreciated.

    You can use a counter available on the E-series MIO DAQ boards or the 660x counter boards. You can measure the position, frequency, and period of the output from a quadrature encoder. Examples on how to measure signals from a quadrature encoder for LabVIEW can be found on the web at ww.ni.com/support under the technical resource section search under the example programs section.
    You may also want to contact Renishaw to see if they have drivers available for LabVIEW and their DAQ equipment.

  • How much interfaces can be driven in "real-time" with a VI in LABVIEW 6i

    In my application I need to merged data from different devices hanging to my computer via different interface types. Each data set in to be specifically formatted in a file. Each data set comes a a rate of ~ 10 Hz.
    As acquisition devices I do have
    - 4 digitizers connected to the PCI bus and their labview driver are already given by the constructor
    - an instrument from which data to be imported via a GPIB interface
    - an instrument from which data are imported via a serial port
    - and probably in the future, 2 devices mounted on two USB port
    I wish to developp a LABVIEW 6i code which permit me to make the request to all instrument, to import the data and to merged them as quick as possible so
    that I can store data set coming every 0,1 s. All data from all instruments must be recorded for the same event at the same time (in a triggered manner) before it performs the acquistions for the next event
    I would like to know what is the best way to each my goal.
    - Is it possible to control all this with one VI (containing lot of VIs) ?
    - Should I execute a VI for each interface and run them at the same time and save all data set with a time stamps in a file and then, off-line, process all the files and merge my information.
    In a general manner, are there any rules which indicate the maximum number of interface (according to their nature) which can be properly controled on a given platform from one computer.
    Thanks you very much for any answers

    Its been a couple of days with no reply....
    Look at the occurence functions.
    You can have one loop send occurences at teh rate you need.
    Put each of the other functions in seperate loops that wait for the occurence on each interation.
    Provided each of your loops runs fast enough this approach should serve you up till you run into the indeterminism of Windows. If the the indeterminism will be an issue, you may have to go with LV Real-Time.

  • Best practice for Near Real time with Oracle

    Hi,
    We plan to run a scenario to demonstrate DS ability for real time or near real time scenario.
    We identified different solutions and we are trying to choose the most appropriate :
    - Oracle 11g + Sybase Replication server + Data Services
    - Oracle 11g + Data services : real time jobs ( xml messages )
    - Oracle 11g + Data Services : CDC scenario
    I need to load data into a SAP Sybase IQ database : is there any known issue with one of the previous solution ?
    The challenge is to load a set of 10 tables, for more than 5 millions rows,
    Thanks for your advices,

  • Do I have to use LabVIEW Real Time with a reflective memory node?

    For reference with an external data system that will be temporarily installed at a customer's site, they have asked that I tie into their data network to record data from their control system.  They apparently use a reflective memory network for data sharing.  I have no prior experience with reflective memory, but all references to it involve real time systems.  I do not need absolute determinism to acquire this data, I can be late by several milliseconds with no problem.  Do I still need to use LabVIEW Real Time to interface with the PXI reflective memory node?

    Hi AEI, 
    I have worked with that card briefly before. It has a Visa based driver and RT isn't required. However, I haven't worked with the card on a non-rt system and am not sure if there any issues to be aware of. 
    A lot of work has gone into integrating support for the card into Veristand, it may save you enough development time to use at an RT-Veristand system to be worth the extra cost.

  • Dynamic Update in real time with slider control

    We have requirements to display complex data in a graphical format. So far this has gone well by leveraging ADF and DVT components (dvt:Map, dvt:gauge, dvt:bargraph, af:tables, af:inputNumberSlider, etc.); however, we recently have been asked to add real-time animation of these controls over time. In brief, the user requires the ability to control the on-screen visualization of data by sliding the control on an af:inputNumberSlider (or equivalent) that represents a multi-month time scale. While sliding this control, the user expects to see the data visualization controls dynamically update in real time, keeping up with the rate at which the user moves the slider control. Think of this like a flip book animation where the slider controls the page the user is looking at and they can flip through the pages forwards or backwards at any desired speed. The time slider increments are one hour.
    Our current application architecture:
    Oracle ADF Fusion Web Application (v 11.1.1.5)
    EJB 3.0
    Eclipselink
    Oracle 11g
    Any kind of help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mehabub

    Hi,
    the af:inputNumberSlider does not provide this functionality. Your alternative is a custom component (or any component that raises a client JS event) and call an af:serverListener in a custom event to send the notification to the server.

  • Using JRockit Real Time with Large Heap

    I want to know if JRockit Real Time can work with extremely large heap, e.g. 100G, to provide effective deterministic GC, before proceeding with evaluation for my application.
    Thanks in advance!
    Wing

    Hi Wing,
    In general, extremely large heaps can make all GCs slower. This is true for Deterministic GC as well. However, it is very application dependent. It is above our standard recommendation, but you can download JRockit Real Time and give it a try.

  • Can I acquire and analyse in real time with regular Labview?

    I have to acquire samples (which vary cyclically in a roughly sinusoidal fashion) from a sensor, and check every sample to see if it is the minimum (the valley) of a cycle. If it is, and it does not fall within an expected range, I have to take a corrective action that involves rejecting the part that was just measured as well as a 30 more parts (to make sure that the defective part has been rejected). The signal from the sensor is not very noisy, but beause of the nature of the measured object, there could be local minima and maxima. To guard against that, a point is considered to be a valley only if subsequent readings deviate above that point by a certain amount. If a part is indeed defective,
    a digital out put has to issued to reject that part.
    Can all these be done using regular Labview (not RT)? I tried it out with a proto-type VI, using DAQmx vis, continously acquiring samples, but reading one sample at a time from within a loop (the VI I used is attached with this question). The result has been disappointing, since each time the loop executes there is a delay that keeps building up. Finally, even after the part feed has been turned off I can see Labview processing signals from parts that have long since gone past the measuring head.
    Another perplexing thing I found is that the time taken to execute the while loop in the vi is not consistent; it takes anything from 6 to 50ms to execute.
    I will need atleast 8-12 samples from a part to build its profile, and the feed rate is about 3000 parts per minute. I am using Labview 7.0 with an NI-6013 card in a Windows 2000 environment.
    Thanks for any suggestions / recommendations.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your suggestions; I had already resigned myself to going for a Real Time system, your answer convinced me to commit myself to it!
    That said, your reply leads to a couple of (related) questions...
    1. Your point regarding the use of Local Variables is well taken; I have been repeatedly told at various training sessions how the necessity of updating the LVs during each loop iteration slows the computation time. However, what alternative do we have when there are several controls to which we have to write AND read data multiple times during a loop iteration, and perform different computations based on the value held by these controls? (You have seen the VI I attached with the original question). Some of these conditional
    computations further change the value of the controls. Does Labview have any other mechanism to store and manipulate the intermediate value from a computation?
    2. I did a simple experiment to determine the average loop time, and the results were surprising. I placed the entire content of the VI I used (Find the Valley in cycle.vi) in a stacked sequence structure, and wired the index counter "i" to a control to count the number of iterations the loop executes. I placed a frame before this with a tick count instruction to get the start time of the loop, and a frame after this to get the end time of the loop. Dividng the difference of these with the number of iterations, I got the average loop time to be around 1.2ms! Am I interpreting my results incorrectly?
    Thnaks once again for your response. I would really appreciate your views on the questions I have raised in this comment

  • RAM Preview in real time with Matrox Mini

    I followed this thread with interest. I upgraded from Production Premium CS5 to CS6 last month. I haven't been able to get Realtime RAM playback since. I'm also monitoring using a Matrox mini and am wondering if this is factoring into the problem. I recently replaced my mini because I was losing communication with the box. I did notice, with the box out of the equation, that RAM playback was in realtime. My test comp runs 5 seconds at 29.97 fps, just a photo moving from point a to b to c, with blur, over black. When I try RAM playback, the message I see is: fps 11.xxx (xxx because the frames vary slightly throughout playback)/29.97. Note: Zoom in not 100%. Interesting thing is that when I delete the photo layer and just keep the black, RAM playback seems fine.
    I did adjust my RAM allocation a little, to no effect. Here are my specs:

    If you disable video preview in After Effects to the Matrox device, does RAM preview run in real time?
    In After Effects CS6: Preferences > Video Preview, set Output Device to Computer Monitor Only. Matrox devices may also require you to disable WYSIWYG preview in their control panel.
    When video preview is enabled, every frame is transcoded on the fly at display time to the format (dimensions, PAR, frame rate) requested by the device. This requires some memory and processor power and has an impact on performance. If having video preview enabled is in fact contributing to the issue, you can reduce the memory requirements of the frame (and therefore the processing power required) by reducing the RAM preview frame rate or resolution values in the Preview panel, reduce the project color depth, or disable color management in the Project Settings.
    Worth noting here that After Effects CC 2014 (13.0) uses Mercury Transmit for video preview, instead of the older QuickTime and DirectShow technologies, and while it is still subject to the limitations above it provides better performance.

  • HOW CAN I ACQUIRE AND DEPLOY DATA IN REAL TIME WITH DAQ 6024E?

    HI ENGINEER,
    I'M PROGRAMING AN APLICATION WHICH I NEED ACUIRING AND DEPLOYING AN ANALOGOUS SIGNAL IN REAL TIME.
    I HAVE:
    LabVIEW 7.0
    WINDOWS 2000
    DAQ CARD 6024E
    THE SIGNAL I WANT TO ACQUIRE IS 0-10 Vcd FROM A SENSOR, THE PROBLEM I HAVE, IS THAT I AM ACQUIERING THE DATA AND IT SEEM THAT THEY ARE UPDATING EACH SECOND, BUT I HAVE BEEN MOVING THE PARAMETERS SUCH AS TASK TIMING IN THE DAQ ASSISTANT VI AND NOTHING HAPPENS.
    CAN YOU TELL ME WHICH PARAMETERS I HAVE TO MOVE TO AQUIRE AND DEPLOY DATA IN REAL TIME

    Hi barron,
    If you want to see the data update quicker, you can decrease the value in the "Samples to Read" field of your DAQ Assistant. This number controls when data is transferred from the DAQ buffer to the PC. If the sampling frequency remains the same, but this field decreases, it means the buffered data will be returned more quickly.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Lesley Y.

  • CS4 Device Control offline with Panasonic AG-DVC2500 Deck

    I am getting an offline message when i try to capture/output monitor from the Panasonic AG-DVC2500 dv deck on my brand new Quadcore - 4gb Ram computer. I tried my mini DV camera using same firewire cable and card and voila the computer goes online. I retried the dv deck and as if nothing is connected - can anyone help me find the way out of this problem asap. The deck works ok with my Pentium 2, Pentium 4 and Core 2 Duo laptop but not with my brand new computer.

    Thanks Eddie,
    I have gone through your link but still cannot locate the problem...as I
    said in my original post, I have used the deck with different pcs and it
    worked immediately, I used the mini dvd camera on the new quadcore pc with
    same firewire cable and cs4 detected it immediately, I changed the firewire
    card on the quadcore with same results - it seems that the computer / CS4 is
    not recognizing the VTR...strange but do not know how I am going to work as
    I bought this beast of a pc on purpose to expediate my editing time but now
    I am left with a useless pc!
    I have latest vista 64 update, latest drivers etc thus I am baffled cause
    even my p2 still recognizes the DV VTR.
    If you have an idea on what could be the problem please advise.
