Equipment for filming

I coach high school basketball and am in need of a new way in videoing our games. Last year we recorded our games on a video camera with dvd mini-tapes. I loved the quality, but when the game was over we had to transfer that to a dvd at real time. I am looking for a simple way to record a game using the same video camera; however, I want to be able to have a dvd copy after the game. I know that I could easily solve this by getting a dvd burner, but I have some concerns. I would love to be able to have the person break the game into scenes according to change of possession (which would make an easy way to edit for teaching purposes). I was wondering if anyone might have some suggestions for what we could do.

If I were to buy a HD camcorder, what type of laptop would I need to have(memory, speed, processor, burner, etc.)?
Since it is primarily for school use, would you potentially be able to put a desktop machine on a cart? Doesn't the school already have computing assets?
My high school actually had a dedicated audio/video team, so you might have resources at your school that you don't even know about. (Possibly the theater department might have some video recording/processing/editing expertise.)
The main thing needed for working with HD video is CPU power. It's almost exclusively CPU, CPU, CPU. Any system sold these days has enough RAM. You'll get a lot more "bang for your buck" with a desktop.
As to a burner - to take full advantage of an HD camcorder, you'd want to purchase a system with a Blu-Ray burner or add one. Adding one to a desktop is MUCH easier.
The other option is to take the HD video and archive it, and for the time being, transcode it down to DVD resolution and produce DVDs with it.
A standard def camcorder such as the Canon FS series will not provide as good quality as the HF series, but it's still pretty good quality, and more importantly, the Canon FS series of standard definition flash memory camcorders record MPEG-2 video which should be easily burnable to DVD with very little effort. (Almost no CPU power required to burn to DVD in a timely fashion). However the FS series only have electronic image stabilization and do not have an external microphone jack.

Do i have the right equipment for CCNA-Wireless?

Hello community i am Adan Ramirez, an aspiring Cisco Tech, and I'm trying to get the right equipment for the ccna wireless.
Here is my shopping list:
1. 2 Cisco LWAP 1252
3. NME-WLC6-K9 module card
Here is what i already have at home:
1. 1841(2x) - iOS 12.4(24)
2. 2811(2x) - iOS 15.something something...
3. 3560 - iOS 15.something something
4. 2960 - iOS 15.something something
Problem: I don't know if the NME needs the latest iOS, the one i saw on eBay says it's version 4.2 something something. I don't have three thousand dollars to buy a brand new module with iOS 7.0 or $ 12,000 to buy a 5500 WLC. I'm a broke college student T_T, help!
and thanks!

Hi,
This is sufficient for your CCNA wireless studies. Probably I would add a VM which can run WCS.
If you really need a WLC, you can buy 4400 series controller (can run upto 7.0.x) for ~200-300 USD. This is the version tested in CCIEv2.0 lab exam as well.
This is the Cisco forum you should follow for this CCNA-Wireless studies

I want to exchange all my equipment for the newest model available.

I've been a steady customer since Feb. 2008. I want to exchange all of my equipment for the latest model available. How do I go about that?

It's my understanding that I'm a grandfathered "original" customer, whatever that means. My answers might be different from what you'll get.
If you have Motorola 1200, 1215 (DVR) or 1225 (DVR) boxes, I agree. These boxes are obsolete and slow. They'll still get updates, but it's like trying to run Windows 8.1 on something that was purchased with Windows XP on it... it may work, but it'll take a long time to do a very simple task. A few years ago, when the update was pushed out to AT&T boxes that introduced the spinning circle in the lower right corner and "poster view" for movies, those boxes I mentioned basically started running very slowly.
It's my understanding those boxes are obsolete and are being junked when they're returned to AT&T.
AT&T has two types of modern non-DVR boxes... wireless and wired. I had a tech come out and he was able to waive the $49 fee to get one wireless box. If you call AT&T and let them know your boxes "broke" because of an update they pushed out, and if you're nice and polite, you should be able to get them to waive the $49 fee... actually, you may have to pay it, but your next bill will get a $49 credit...that's what they did in my case.
I don't think that was 100% free as my taxes and fees were *a bit* higher on one bill and I don't know if they were that much lower on the next bill...but whatever.
When I added a second wireless box, I had it shipped via UPS and installed it myself. I was able to get them to credit the $49 fee off the next bill. Once again, I paid $49 on one bill and my next bill had the $49 credit.
Now...if you want the newer wired boxes, there shouldn't be any sort of fee. Like I said before, it was AT&T that pushed out newer software. IMO, a customer shouldn't pay when AT&T's update "breaks" a customer's equipment.
As for the DVR, yes, you will lose recordings. What you *can* do is either buy a Slingbox and put the DVR and Slingbox by theirselves or just put the DVR on a TV you don't watch a whole lot.
My silver remotes still work absolutely fine. If you want a newer "basic" remote, keep in mind that some buttons have changed. Those should be free, at least they are when mine stop working and I know for a fact they have new batteries.

First DSLR for filming

Hey everyone,
I am looking for a DSLR for filming purposes. I have been recently watching reviews and video footages to see which is the best for me. Obviously a 5d mark II or III would be the best choice but unfrtunately I cannot afford it.
I have also checked the 60D which looks amazing because of the lcd screen which is adjustable but it has lower image quality, the 6D which also has a full frame sensor as the 5D. But the 60D is cheaper.
Which one do you suggest?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've used the 5D Mark II, 5D Mark III, and T3i for professional productions. I've not used the 60D or 7D. But, to start out, you can't go wrong with the T3i or T5i. The video is more than acceptable, and most viewers can't really tell the difference between the 5D Mark II and the T5i, not to mention the 60D. Now, the 5D Mark III is in another category altogether! The 5D Mark III is by far the best for DSLR video, but it's a little pricey for your first camera.
I would acquire the T5i (don't remember the non-US model number) and some good lenses. You can spend the difference between the T5i and 60D or 7D on some good non-S lenses that you can use as you upgrade bodies in the future. Spend your money on lenses first, then bodies. Your lenses will serve you much longer than your bodies!
Once you know that a DSLR meets your shooting requirements (they're still-frame cameras first, and video cameras second), you can either sell your T5i or use it as a backup/second camera when you buy a 5D Mark III or other Canon DSLR. Keep in mind that there are major limitations with all DSLRs when it comes to video, and make sure you can live with those limitations.
The major benefit for video of the T5i is the fold-out LCD screen. You will be shooting from different angles (high or low), and you can adjust the screen to compose your shot. Otherwise, you'll need an external monitor, rig, or other relatively expensive gear to adequately compose your shots.
A previous poster mentioned the Panasonic GH3, and that is a great camera for video, but the product line is not as broad or deep as Canon's. I think your decision to say with the Canon product line is good. Good luck in your shooting!

Sending Gauges / Equipment for Calibration

I want to send the Gauges / Equipment for Calibration to Outside party (Vendor). Would you please tell me how to map this process in SAP.
The process is:
1. Gauges / Equipments are sent for Calibration to vendor.
2. Vendor Calibrates and those are verified for the usage.
Your valuable inputs will be helpful, points will be awarded accordingly.
Thnkx and Regards,
Rashmi

hi rashmi
while planning the calibration order , create a task list with a control key for external operation, and maintain the requiured outline agreement or services.while scheduling a PR will be generated then you can process further. you can also look in to the web site for better understanding "http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/fe/67fbcc9d6f11d189b60000e829fbbd/frameset.htm"

Produce equipment for internal use (cost center)

Hi,
We are a high tech company selling and producing configurable equipment.
Sometimes our marketing department orders such an equipment for demo reasons. After this demo the equipment must be returned to be disassembled or returned into stock until it is needed in another demo or by our engineering department. In other words we would like to produce equipment and have them in stock until a cost center needs it. We think we have some solutions to counter this problem :
- using a dummy customer in SD (--> our finance department is not in favour of this). If the equipment returns we can make a return and put it into stock.
- create an independent requirement using transaction MD81. If a cost center needs it we do a goods issue (more difficult to keep track on things)
-create a planned order
Are there other solutions ? If not which one do you prefer and why ?
Also these equiments sometimes needs to be repaired or modified. We use the module CS (customer service) to do repairs for customers but in this case we are our own customer. The idea of using a dummy customer is not preferred by our finance department. Can we use the module PM (plant maintenance) for this ?
Thanks for the help.
with regards
Erik

Sending equipment for calibration

Dear all,
what is the process to send test equipment for calibration.
ours is external calibration:
as per QM they are running the scheduling for calibration so system automatically creating one purchase requisition .
so then how to send that equipment through MM .
please give step by step
regards,
prasad

Hi,
Generally, Repair of Materials are handled via concept of Gate Pass (Returnable & Non-Returnable). But, SAP doesn't provide any option for creating Gate Pass (Returnable & Non-Returnable) in standard.
Try the below suggested procedure as a work around process;
Repair Process via Returnable Gate Pass: -
1. MM01 - Create Material Master for every Spare Part / Machinery to be sent to Vendor for Repair as Non-Valuated (Material Type "UNBW") (Do not extend Accounting and Costing views since you don't require postings of Stock value and consumption values, you only want to track the Service/Repair Charges)
It's not necessary to have materials as Non-Valuated always, it depends on your requirement.
2. MIGO - Goods Receipt > Others (Receive the quantities of these materials using Movement Type 501 / 511) - Only if Stock of Material is not available.
3. ME21N - Create Subcontracting PO (Here Main Material and Component will be same material)
4. MB1B - Transfer Posting w.r.t. Subcon PO (Mvmt Type - 541, Spare Part stock will get posted to Vendor Stock)
5. MB90 - Take Print out of this Material Doc as Returnable Gate Pass (U need to configure Message Determination of Inventory Mgmt)
6. MIGO - GR against Subcon PO (101 - Receive Spare Part, 543 O - Consumption of Spare Part form Vendor Stock)
7. MIRO - LIV for Service Charges w.r.t. Subcon PO
Note: - If PM Module is implemented then use PM Order as origin of the Repair Process. If it is not then follow the above process.
Else if you don't want to track the material stock then follow the Service Process Cycle
1. ME21N - Create Service PO (With Item Category D and Account Assignment Category K )
2. ML81N - Create Service Entry Sheet w.r.t. Service PO
3. MIRO - LIV for Service Charges w.r.t. Service PO or Service Entry Sheet
For Service Process, refer following link;

Equipment for legal videography?

Need advice on equipment for legal videography. A camera that shoots HD and records onto an SD card has been recommended. I'll also need DVR recorder (I believe) and mics.
Anyone with experience in this field have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Terry D

What is legally required for depositions can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but the basics are:
Wireless lav mics: Have at least 4 or 5 systems available. One for the witness and one for each attorney. There will be times that a third (or fourth) attorney will be present so it helps to have extras.
Audio mixer: With that many mics, you'll need an outboard audio mixer. The output from the mixer then goes to the camera. I also recommend using a compressor/limiter.
Headphones: Use good quality headphones for monitoring the audio you're recording.
DVD recorder: In most instances, the deposition will be shown with absolutely no editing - even when objections are raised during the deposition. And many judges won't allow an edited copy to even be presented in open court. So you'll need to have an "original" recording available. Note that even today, some courts still only have VHS players so ask before each deposition what their needed delivery method will be. If it is VHS, have a VHS VCR ready to go.
Tripod: A good, steady tripod is a must!
Camera: I'd recommend a tape-based camera so the other original recording (other than the DVD or VHS) can be easily archived. Some cases can drag on for months (or even years) so you really need to have an original recording available - sometimes (but not often) a certified, unedited copy will suffice. Of course, sometimes the judge will allow certain parts of a deposition to be edited, especially when an attorney makes an objection. Since the case may not go to court for months, keeping the needed SD cards would be costly - on the other hand, tape is cheap.
The camera must also have the ability to record date/time in the recording - not just as metadata. Check the jurisdiction in which you'll be working to see if they have other legal requirements. And even though you may be recording the deposition locally, the actual trial may be held in another state. So you'll need to know the specific legal requirements for the jurisdiction where the trial is being held - not necessarily where the deposition takes place.
I highly recommend that if the client that hires you is representing the plaintiff, get your money up front. Plaintiff's attorneys are notorious for not wanting to pay until the case is settled or heard. They often don't get paid unless they win, so there's a darned good chance they won't want to pay you until they get paid. And as I said above, that could be months or years away.
The reasoning behind recording two originals at the same time is that when the deposition is over, you can hand one (the DVD or VHS) to the attorney that is paying you. You keep the other in the event that editing is needed or certified copies are requested by opposing council.

QM for Film Mfg. Industry

Dear All,
I want to know about Quality Management in Film Mfg. Industry / Paper Industry.
Please tell me, where i can get information for this.
I have a query in QM for Film Mfg. Industry.
The problem is:
Film production is in ROLLs. Base unit of measure is KG.
I want to segregate defective area inside the roll, while usage decision. area is in sq.meters
There is no extra field for this in standard transaction, as per my knowledge.
Please help.

I can't help you specifically with your question. But you might want to look at SAP's Mill products solutions. What you describe is very similar to what happens in the mills that produce things like carpet or rolled sheet metal. The carpet and metal are made in rolls measured in sq. ft. but very often managed and stored as EA. Defections are related to certain areas of the roll.
The following is from SAP's documentation on this solution, bolidng is mine.
Purpose
The SAP Mill Products component adds sector-specific functionality to an ERP system to satisfy the complex requirements of mill industries (e.g. metal, wood, paper, textiles, construction materials, and cable sectors).
These industry segments differ from others primarily in that the materials used have a large number of characteristics and variants. The materials in the segments listed above are also predominantly area-based (e.g. paper, textiles, plastic film) or length-based (e.g. cables, piping). Account must be taken of these material characteristics throughout the entire supply chain.
To cater for the particularities of these industry segments, SAP Mill Products features processes and functions that cover the entire supply-chain cycle from product design and configuration, through planning, order processing, capacity planning and production, to final delivery. Additional functions are available in costing and inventory management. SAP Mill Products are also integrated into Quality Management, Financial Accounting, and Controlling.

Question for Film composer ( re bar )

Dears,
sometimes when you are working on a cue for film happen that your song start
(for ex.) at measure 250, because working on entire reel . My question is :
( I know other software are capable of..) Is possible to RE_BAR ?
In a few words is possible to transform ( example) measure Number 250 in measure Number 1 ?
Appreciate any suggestion. Thanks in advance
Antongiulio

ok if you have been given reels, you should have BITC (burnt in timecode - ie TC which shows up in your video) and you should make logics TC match. so if the first reel starts at 01:00:00:00 then you should make sure that as logic plays back the video its TC matchs.
if you try to cut time that would mean the smpte position of the first tempo (@ bar 1) would be a minus number, then logic will shift the tempo positions so that the first tempo is 0:00:00:00, meaning you will be out of sync with the video. if you started your project with 01:00:00:00 as your start of the first frame of the film, then you have a whole hour to play around with as your run up to the beginning of the film (of course you would never need as much as that but there you go).
i am assuming you are using digitized video and the movie as float. if you have used a capture device to digitize the video and the beginning of your QT movie is something like 00:59:52:12 for arguments sake, then you need to make your movie start line up with 01:00:00:00 at bar 1 in logic (which should also be set to have the first tempo at 01:00:00:00).
DO NOT use smpte offset, esp if you are not familiar with it. it will just create a lot of confusion. instead adjust the movie start on the QT movie you are using in logic to make the BITC match logics time code. once you have that set, you will never need to touch it again. you will be able to cut time, insert time and do whatever and the picture BITC and logics TC will always match.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 will not recognize Epson V600 Photo scanner for film ?

For some reason the WIA support in PE9 will only recognize the scanner for reflective prints not film, why ?
But, in the PE 6 the Epson V600 scanner is recognized for film scanning,, in professional mode and automatic.
Any clues ?

Best settings for film based PAL to MPEG2?

There's a fair amount of useful information online regarding the best settings for film based NTSC footage export etc but I'm unable to find anything regarding the best Compressor settings for the export of MPEG2 from PAL video from a 25 frames per second film sourced master.
Can anybody help?

Okay, so after reading heaps of stuff on interlacing and progressive, my head is hurting. Since my 1080i50 Pal footage captures into Final cut interlaced and setting field dominance to NONE doesn't do much, I realise I need to de-interlace in an another application. Ken Stone has a great example of what to do in compressor though I dont have the current version (3) and am not sure how to reinterpret this for Compressor 2. I had a go without much luck. I am in the process of trying to use MPEG Streamclip to deinterlace and trying getting the right settings. Will see how that goes. I also have tried using JES deinterlacer but also wasnt sure about settings etc with this application either.
Which is the best to use and what settings should I set. I wish to use my footage for watching on our macs primarily and also from our mac server which is hooked up to our hdtv. I can then convert to other formats for iphones and web etc. But my main problem is this interlacing issue. I have a nice new HDV camera but it certainly isnt looking too much better atm than my old dv footage.
PLEASE help!
