Express cards 34 for video capture.

Forum,
Should I go for eSATA or Firewire 800 Express card 34?
I have an iomega UltraMax Hard Drive.
USB/Firewire 800/eSATA.
Thank you.
Michael Craven.

Either will work depending on how you set it up (I have both types of cards for my MacBook Pro.) Usually I set the eSata Card/Drive to capture and plug the camera into the FW Port on the computer. Captured hundreds of hours this way.
Or you can just the FW card. (Do not recall what you are capturing but for DV and HDV this works fine.)

  • Express card adapter for NI Express Card 8360

    Hi All,
    I am trying to find a USB or Firewire or eSATA or PCMICIA to express card adapter for my laptop (DELL Latitude E6400) to connect an NI Express card 8360.
    I have searched for adapters but they are all based on USB2.0 technology but the link below seems to suggest that USB based adapters wont work.
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B5E9398279914984862574F700049847 
    I was wondering if any of you had the same issue and got it to work one way or the other?  
    The idea is to use the express card to communicate to a NI PXI-1033 PXI rack.
    thanks and regards,

    Have you tried Quick Drop?, Visit QD Community.

    Hi ace,
    There isn't really anything I can add to this issue except to echo what it said in that link. NI don't manufacture such adapters so I can't recommend any, hopefully someone else has had some experience with this and can offer some advice on the issue.

  • Computer set up for video capture

    I believe there are special setting of the computer for video capture.  I have done these in the past but cannot remeber how or find any info.  One setting was to send the data form the camcorder straight to the hard disc.  Can anyone help me, please ?
    johnjep

    If you're capturing from a tape-based camcorder, you should capture over FireWire.
    For hard drive camcorders, you'll need to use the Media Downloader built into Premiere Elements to get the video files.
    Current computers can usually capture with no special set-up. Although Vista can use a bit of tweaking, as you can see if you click on the FAQs listed to the right of this forum.
    If you've got a second hard drive, you can get the most efficient capture by capturing to it rather than your C drive.

    1) The N95 currently does NOT offer the facility to use the flash as a light for video capture.
    2) I don't understand your question
    3) Your GPS should work in Iran, although there may be an issue with the US (to which all GPS satellites belong to) not allowing Iran to use the satellites - not too sure about this bit.
    You will need to download Iranian maps (if available) for the N95 - you can find the download page for Nokia Maps here :

    Also if you follow the link below it'll give you more information on how to get your GPS working :

  • Recommendations for Video capture card

    Been capturing video via firewire through a VX2000. Using it as a A/D converter.
    I would like to install an internal capture card in a dual G4 running OS 10.4.8.
    Suggestions?
    Steve

    OK Steve, first off no one is making PCI capture cards anymore...an there is no HD card made for PCI at all. PCI-X and PCIe only. Second, that computer cannot handle HD captured via a capture card. HDV, DVCPRO HD...yes (pushing it). XDCAM...maybe (pushing it). Uncompressed HD? Heck no.
    Not only do you need the HD capture card, but you need a high speed RAID array..and there isn't one made that interfaces with PCI. You gotta get a new machine. The one you are on will handle SD only.
    With the new machine, the cheapest option is the Decklink INTENSITY PRO. This has analog ins and outs, installs in the computer (PCIe only), and runs about $400. COmponent, s-video and composite and HDMI connections only. NO SDI or HD SDI...which are the better connections for high end work.
    Then you need an HD monitor...which isn't cheap. And again, the RAID array...
    But...all this is getting complicated. What format of HD are you intending to work with in the near future? HDV, or HDCAM? DVCPRO HD? XDCAM? Uncompressed HD? This determines everything.
    Yes, video is expensive. HD even more so. DV is cheap...HDV CAN be cheap, but get expensive if you want to do it properly.

  • RecordControl for Video Capture

    Hi,
    I have encountered problem capturing video using J2ME toolkit, and need help on this area. Thanks!
    I have the following sample code from web:
    output= new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    rc = (RecordControl)player.getControl("RecordControl");
    rc.setRecordStream(output)
    rc.startRecord();
    the problem is nullexception at the setRecordStream line.
    Can we actually carry out video capture using J2ME toolkit or need other emulator?
    Pls advice, Thanks for helps !

    This is a bit strange with apple servers today. For some strange reason, there seems to be a 5-10 min. delay in my post on this one thread only ....very weird.
    Oh well, I'll post the info again in hope that it sticks ....
    You can capture to iMovie which is what I suggest or directly to iDVD6 (via 1 step or magic iDVD). Your choice.

  • CS4 MPEG 2 export settings for video captured by sony cybershot dsc-w35

    Hi,
    I am trying to export a project (which contains video captured by my sony cybershot dsc-w35 digital camera) in MPEG 2 format (not sure if there is a better format I should be using, but I tried to do it in AVI before and the resulting file was way too large), and the resulting exported file always comes out with choppy video. The video capture settings for my cybershot camera (and thus the source video in my project) are:
         - VGA (640 x 480)
         - framerate: 25 fps
    At the outset, I am using DV (only other option is HDV) as capture format, and I selected DV-PAL: Standard: 48 kHz as my Sequence preset. I have no idea if thi is the appropriate preset for me to be using, but it seems logical since its timebase is 25 fps and it says a 4:3 video ratio in the description, and almost every other preset seems to be intended for HD video and higher framrates or ratios, etc.
    At the export stage, I select MPEG 2 format, and other than that I really have no idea what settings I should be using. I set the preset to Custom and under the Video section I switch the framerate to 25 and the pixel aspect ratio to 4:3. Everything else I pretty much leave the same.
    Can anyone tell me why the export file always comes out choppy? (it is not choppy when I watch it in Premiere itself). I must be either using the wrong preset at the beginning or in the export stage (or both). The VGA capture setting of my camera seems like it might be an issue as none of the presets in Premiere appear to accomodate it. Any help is sincerely appreciated!

    Thanks for the prompt response, Hunt.
    The spec sheet you referred to is actually for the Sony cybershot dsc-w350, whereas my camera is the sony cybershot dsc-w35. that's probably the reason for the discrepancy. When looking at the properties of the source video I am using it says 25 fps, so does this mean I should be using a PAL preset in the export stage? I see what you mean about using a Desktop (custom) preset for the sequence preset, and for this I set the framerate to 25, frame width to 640 and height to 480 (to match my camera settings), but what should I set the pixel width to?
    In the export stage, I select custom preset again, but within this there are lots of options (mostly under the Video tab) I am unsure about. Should I be using PAL instead of NTSC since I'm using a 25 fps framerate? I can also scroll video quality anywhere from 1 to 5, any ideas? I can also choose various pixel aspect ratios here and then there are a bunch of bitrate settings I am totally cluseless about. Also, under the Multiplexer tab, there is an option between constant and variable bitrate types, which should I use? Thanks again

  • Ethernet disk for video capture

    Is it possible to connect/mount an external network disk (LaCie's Ethernet Disk) directly to the ethernet port of an Intel iMac, without the use of an actual network/router? and if so, would this act as a reasonable drive for capturing DV and HDV video?
    My plan is to use a 24" iMac as a completely stand alone, budget video editing station that only accessing the internet (via Airport) when requiring updates.

    Whilst the theoretical speed of the Gigabit (1000Mbps) Ethernet port on the iMac is about that of the FW800 port I am sure that you will get better performance from a FW800 drive for video transfer due to the overheads involved in packetizing data to transfer over the 'network' to the disk. 
    FW800 can be had for a very reasonable price.

    Has anyone used a SONNET Tempo™ SATA Pro ExpressCard/34 (Note I said "PRO" yes the expensive one) on a new MacBookPro with 4GB RAM running 10.5.8?
    Hi,
    I use the Sonnet Tempo Pro ExpressCard with the SeriTek/2EN2 enclosure and the Mid-2009 17" MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.5.8) with 4GB of memory. I have not experienced kernel panics with this configuration.
    AMUG has just posted a FW800 review that also provides eSATA ExpressCard performance details. Look at the eSATA section in the Performance portion of the article for more information. The heading is: "How does an eSATA ExpressCard Compare?"

  • Advice Needed for Video Capture Device

    Hi,
    I'm looking to buy a USB (or Firewire if they exist) video capture device that can take S-Video and composite connections. Could someone recommend me best one under $150 that is compatible with Snow Leopard? Also, and more importantly, does anyone know if it is possible to capture the signal via Quicktime Pro or Final Cut Pro rather than bundled third party software.
    Thanks!

    I used the predecessor to the Canopus ADVC55 to load VHS tapes into a mac.  As I recall I brought the firewire signal into iMovie (could have been Final Cut Pro too, as I had both on the system). Here are the specs:  http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc55 .     Also some comments on it at http://www.amazon.com/Hardware-ADVC-55-d-Converter-Ntsc/dp/B000HGVZG0/ref=sr_1_2 ?ie=UTF8&qid=1323954590&sr=8-2   Here's another source to buy it: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/312315-REG/Grass_Valley_602005_ADVC_55_Ana log_to_Digital.html .
    They also make an ADVCmini, which I haven't used, which is probably less expensive, with specs at http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advcmini

  • Hardware/software recommendation for video capture prior to edit on home ba

    i am a FCP user on a G5. i need to begin to load and initially edit video while traveling and then take that FC project file and load it onto my home based G5 for further work. i am considering a macbook and FC express to accomplish this task.
    my questions are:
    does it matter that the new macbooks are intel processors and my G5 is not intel based? will i have any compatibility problems with SW/file transfers.
    is FC Express the best SW to use for the load and initial edits?
    is there a best practice recommendation for what i want to do?
    thank you.
