HDMI video capture card

I need to specify a HDMI video capture card to work with Adobe Flash for the DCO application on a Dell T3500 PC. The system also includes a Black Magic Designs H.264 Pro Recorder for recording training sessions. Can anyone recommend a card that will work?
Thanks

No problem. Be warned, though. As far as I know, M series camcorders are only available on secondhand markets right now, and if you happen to find, say, a Vixia HF M500 new and unopened, the after-market price might be a little higher.

Why Expensive Video Capture Cards?

In these times of file based workflows, how important are video capture cards apart from being able to monitor timelines on external video monitors. Considering how expensive some of these cards are.

My Storm card is gathering dust in a PC's carcass two rooms away. I haven't used it in two years but can't bare to bin it. Really a wonderful card, The RaptorRT as well. The RT Chroma Key was way more than Premeire could do alone, and could be run synchronously with the RT color correction and RT blur capabilities, as well as several other useful RT fx.
For work I bought Premiere Pro 1.5, Audition, and Photoshop with a Canopus RaptorRT all for $599 from VideoGuys in 2004ish. That P4 system built for $900 I was proud of setting up a RT DV NLE system that had A\D ability, Pristine DV output and RT performance that was on par with system that cost 10 times as much.
I'm equally enamored with the Mercury Playback Engine Hardware Acceleration. However the essential GTX or Quadro cards sort of serve in the same capacity as the oldschool proprietary Capture\RT cards. While not used for capture, it does accelerate the RT capabilities of a properly configured system. Unlike a fixed RT I\O card, MPE performance can scale with your systems cpus, ram, and choice of Nvidia card.
On Topic....Modern capture cards... Very useful for Studio Capture. Analog, SDI switchers.or HDMI from cameras. Usually a fixed box integrated into control-room. Aja, Bluefish, BlackMagic are some better names. Also, you mentioned the playback\monitoring abilities these cards offer in your post. This fine monitoring ability is crucial to some peoples workflow. CS6 is supposed to help these 3rd party cards integrate better than some earlier versions.
More from 2005.... I also chose a Matrox system..... different experience. The deal again was incredible, a premiere pro 1.5 combo suite with an upgrade to Premiere Pro 2.0 editing suite with After Affects and Audition. Plus a Matrox Card, which was a pain to get running and was never stable and offer little advantage over a vanilla kit. When the Matrox card worked, the RT color correction was a benefit, and the RT scaling & 3d perspective tools were useful. A little known benefit of a matrox card that made the purchase worthwhile for us was the ability output composite or S-video NTSC from any clip or stream that would play in the windows media player. So we could always get odd materials to dv easy that way. Like a 3 hour landuse meeting that a tech forgot to roll tape on, but the web streaming box got it, at 360x240. The Matrox card scaled it to NTSC.
... Then it Blew up. The end.

Windows Video Capture Cards for FME 3

What are some video capture cards that accept DV i.Link (IEEE 1394) inputs and work with FME 3? The hassle with Windows and DV is just too annoying.

ello,
My name is Felix Kolotinsky and I am FAE at AVerMedia Technologies, Inc USA office.
AVerMedia has a product AVerTVHD DVR that works with Flash Media Live Encoder 3.1, AVerTVHD DVR is capable to capture HD quality up to 1080i from build int HDMI, Component YPbPr and Analog from S-Video and Composite.
If you are interested, here is link to product description http://www.avermedia-usa.com/AVerTV/product/ProductDetail.aspx?Id=482
Below is screenshot that I took from FMLE using AVerTVHD DVR, my source was HDMI from Direct TV Set top box, in this case I was encoding in 1080i source into 720x480, you can Encode up to 1080i, however this requires Quad Core CPU
If you are interested, please contact me directly: [email protected] and I will assist you with setup.

Duel video capture cards and Windows 7 MCE

Hello, I'm wondering why WMC will only see (1) video capture card, when (2) are installed?
I have DirecTV with HD STB (2) which do not require tuners, they have HDMI output (or component RGB output), so a capture card is what I'm using to bring video to my computer. WMC works great with (1) card, but won't see a second card installed.
I have searched TGB and found this link:
http://web.archive.org/web/20130727050420/http://experts.windows.com/frms/windows_entertainment_and_connected_home/f/23/t/103542.aspx
and have applied the changes recommended, but still it won't work. The article states the problem is NO 2nd PVR is installed and the steps to install it. I've rebooted and still don't have a 2nd instance of a PVR.
Hauppauge is no help at all, gives me the same instructions...
What am I missing here, possibly roll back the driver? I installed the current version...

Hi,
Please check the following information to see if it helps.
1. Check if the hardware is Windows 7 compatible.
2. Update the Video capture card driver.

Plug-in for StarTech Video Capture Card

StarTech'website shows their ECHDCAP ExpressCard video capture card supports Adobe Premiere CS5 plug-in for editing. I talked to a Tech at StarTech and he said the card should work with Premiere Pro CS5 & CS6 but StarTech doesn't support it, and he didn't know where I can get the Premiere SC5 plug-in. Does anyone know what plug-in StarTech is referring to, and where I can get it?
If anyone is currently using the ECHDCAP capture card or the StarTech USB3HDCAP Capture Device, please let me know how you got it working with Premiere Pro.

Ann & Bill,
I probably should have given you more information. This application is different than what I usually use Premiere for.
One of my hobbies is shooting long range rifles at 1,000 yards. I'm trying to capture the point of impact on steel targets 500 to 1,000 yards away. I've attached my XA10 to my Swarovski spotting scope so I can see the impact. I've been transferring the video from the XA10 to my computer through the USB port, then importing the video into Premiere and adding it to the sequence. By the time I get all this done, then scrub the video to find the frame with the initial BANG, then count 41 frames forward for 870 yards, then scrub the video again to find the impact point, the wind and several other conditions have changed which affect my next shot. this makes for a long and tedious day.
The bottom line is... I'm trying to streamline my workflow so I can capture the video from my XA10 straight to a Premiere sequence, then start scrubbing the video to find the point of impact.
The reason I'm using Premiere is because none of my other programs allow me to scrub with audio.
I would prefer not to spend $600 for a Maxtor MX02 Mini and ExpressCard adapter; especially since it requires 110 volts and that's not available at the shooting range.
If you know of another way to do this, or can recommend an inexpensive program that will allow me to capture audio and video from my XA10 and scrub it with audio, I'd sure appreciate hearing about it.
Thank you,
Brian Scura...

"fire wire" video capture cards for mac pro

....Have Power Mac ver. 10.9.5 system Maverick w/ 4 MB RAM & am trying to locate hardware for:
acquiring "FIRE WIRE" video capture cards for mac pro.... ? Any suggestions....?(Just purchased Adobe CS 5 premium)

Your question doesn't make much sense.
What type of Mac Pro do you have? Is it the new black cylinder or the old style silver tower?
Firewire is built-in to the old models & the new Mac Pros can use Thunderbolt to Firewire converters to capture from Firewire sources.
Maybe like this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
Many older cameras used Firewire for capturing, but that has been replaced by other connection types. What are you trying to capture from?

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.

Can I capture the video from the TV card or video capture card to publish

Can I capture the video from the TV card or video capture card to publish?
I tried to use the USB camera, it's OK. But, will the TV card or video capture card also work?

Hi,
iChat will set up a Video chat window that takes in to account your Processor speed and Internet Speed and to some extent the Buddy's speed.
This then denotes the pixel content of each frame.
OS X 10.6.x tells me this is iChat 5 which in turn mean you have at least an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.
This should be capable of 30 frames a sec at about 640 X 480 pixels (Check the Connection Doctor (Video Menu) and the Statistics tab during a Chat).
iChat 5 cannot do HD (Max of 4:3 ratio at the above figures)
After that it depends how you are recording the chat.
Quicktime X would do it.
iChat will do it itself (if the Buddy agrees)

Need Video Capture Card and DVD Burner Quick!

Here's my situation. I've created some movie titles in iMovie and have no way to get them from my Macintosh to my DVD/VCR to incorporate them in a tape I'm making. I need it like NOW as a lot of people are waiting for copies of the tape!
For some time I've wanted a device called a video capture card. It has the ability to play videos on your computer and you can print out images from them. What I want to do is make DVDs of my VHS home movies. I did learn you can't just walk into any local store and buy such a device; it must be ordered.
Desperation is a great motivator and finally (duh) I decided to look at a site specializing in Macintosh products, instead of studying every capture card online. Surprisingly, they offer three models: one cheap ($50-some), one at twice the price of the first, and a third at ten times the price of the second! That's quite a jump! Here's the middle one, which they claim is the best on the planet: http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/detail~dpno~197329.asp
So, as I understand this, I somehow connect this device to my computer (Power Mac G4), hook a VCR to it, and then I can play videotapes on my computer. If I'm in a desperate hurry to burn DVDs I suppose my friend's DVD player will also connect to this device, or am I wrong in this?
Even if I am right (that a DVD player/burner will connect to this) I still don't see how that gives ME a DVD burner with which to transfer my videos to DVD! My combo player will make videos from DVDs but not the other way around! So do I have to run out and buy a DVD burner, and should it be any special kind since it will be used with a device connected to a Macintosh? I need this ASAP so thanks for any advice, or clarification to my understanding of how this process works!

Cornelia,
Lennart's links are very good and informative. But one thing you should know is that an external DVD burner will not play a DVD - it only burns them. Since you want to view the DVD and pause at a particular scene and print it, you'll need some way to view your DVD. You also need a way to convert the iMovie project with the imported VHS footage, to a burnable format. iDVD can do that, but I noticed you have OS X 10.2 (Jaguar). If you don't have iDVD you'll need to buy it from the Apple store.
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/70901/wo/u13Sbz1 DQJRc2kZnHbi1QKZybZA/1.0.19.1.0.8.25.7.11.0.3 or you can buy Roxio Toast 7, but toast is much more expensive. For Toast go to: http://www.roxio.com/
You also need a media player so you can view your final DVD. I did some quick research and found out that none of the free media players allows you to print - which is what you want to do. There are quite a few free media players available, like Nice player and Xine Player, but you need Panther or higher to use them. Because you're running OS X 10.2, the only free media player that you can use is VLC media player. To download a free VLC player go to: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ You do need QT 6.5.2. or higher. So you may need to update your QT.
You can't print a paused image, but you can take a snap shot of the still image, then print that. Snap Shot=CommandShift4. This will allow you to select the paused picture in the screen, or if you like just a portion of that paused picture. It will save on your desktop as a picture. Double click on the Picture, then print that.
Then it sounds like after you've burned the DVD with your titles, you will need to connect a VHS recorder to a DVD player and record your DVD on to VHS tape.
Good Luck,
JAM

In Need of Video Capture Card

Hello
I am a digital video editor working with Adobe Premiere 6.0. I have noticed that when I try to capture video on the program all I get is a grey screen with no video and no audio ,however, I do get device control. I have learned that I do not have a video capture card installed on my computer. I was directed to this link to assist me with possible video capture card brands http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/capturecard_partners/#head2 I have learned that AJA, which is on the list, does not have ANYTHING for Adobe Premiere 6.0 because of how old the program is. I moved on down the list and contacted Blackmagic Design. They have contacted me back, however, do not have an answer ready yet. Here are the specs for my computer...
Software Program: Adobe Premiere 6.0
Operating System: WINDOWS VISTA
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2220 @ 2.40GHz 2.40GHz
Memory (RAM): 4.00 GB
System type: 32-bit Operating System
If anyone out there has any advice or video capture card preferences, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You

Hey Bill,
We recently purchased the A-D Bridge from tiger direct. It is the ADVC-110 from Canopus. We believe we have it hooked up correctly, but unfortunately we have the same problem.
Bill
hah ! this is what happens when your sausage if full...you get all the fun questions !
I was going to say something but my feelings are hurt.... I'm going to the lounge instead....( time for a beer )
ps.. I use SCLive to capture...costs about $29....worth every penny....

Video capture card for dul 1.4

Anyone know of a reasonably priced video capture card for archiving old video tapes?
g4 dual 1400 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If you use iMovie, FCE, FCP, BTV or Live Capture and an analog-to-digital converter you can capture via Firewire; the converter will do the job of the capture card. One of the more popular models is the Canopus AVDC-110.

FME Video Capture Card

Hi,
I recently installed Media Flash Encoder 2.5 onto my PC and
need to purchase a video capture card. What do you recommend?
Thanks.

I have a Leadtek WinFast PxDVR3200 H Hybrid Analog / DVB-T
tuner card.
It works fine with the analog tuner but It does not recognize
the DVB-T part.
I need this because I need to set up an on-line 720p TV
stream.
I also tried to make tests with a TechiSat SkyStar HD but it
is not recognized by Flash Media Encoder 2.5
Could someone please recommend a HD DVB S2 or T card that
works with Flash Media Encoder ?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

External video capture card

Hi
I am looking for an 'external video capture card' that will record a screen and sound from a PC or preferable a mac at 30fps and 1080p that I can then edit with I have a budget up to £150 but can go further if need be. This is for video game trailer i am putting together which is why i need to be able to record the screen.
If anyone has any suggestion please reply with links to where I can buy the device from.
Thank You

If you have a DVI port on the computer, yes it is.
Hmmm...or maybe not. That's a really REALLY old device, and it might not work with the newer OS. Here I see it has issues with QT 7.5:

Here's my review of it:

Here's a pretty thorough setup guide...

But I fear that it's too old for the computer and OS. Matrox stopped supporting it a while ago.

PC video capture card - Not Applicable?

When I was a Comcast analog customer, I purchased a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 video capture card. The unit worked great converting my Media Center PC back into a DVR when my original Dell equipment All-In-Wonder capture card died.
When I was considering switching to Fios, Andrea S. at Verizon told me that there was software I could download so that my vid-cap card would work. I assume she meant that it would unscramble the signal for viewing or recording. Once Fios was installed, Andrea didn't answer my emails any more and recent inquires to Encore about any other devices (like DCT700 or something) have been fruitless.
I hate to take no for an answer!
Isn't there some way for my PC to record Fios video? I would think the most un-elegant solution would be to rent another STB and take the analog output to my PC but then I couldn't program channel changes, etc. There must be something out there that I'm missing.

Any PC card with a QAM tuner can record the SD and HD locals (and music channels) from Verizon FiOS. Other digital channels such as USA, TNT, SciFi, FX, ESPN, and HBO cannot be tuned because they are encrypted.
My favorite PC QAM tuner is the HDHomerun ($160) because it has two ATSC/QAM tuners and excellent, cross-platform software support. It works very well with Vista Media Center. If you really want an internal solution, take a look at the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 ($120); this PCIe card has less software support, and may require the Vista Media Center TV pack. Both of these solutions can record two different SD or HD locals from FiOS at once. Once again, the QAM tuners in these products can only record unencrypted channels, which consist of channels 1-50 plus the HD locals and music channels. The Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 also has an s-video input to record the s-video (SD) output from a Verizon set-top box.
If you want to record high-definition directly from the Motorola HD STB, you could buy the Hauppauge HD PVR ($200). This is a USB device that connects to your computer; it records the HD component video output and optical audio output from another device (such as the FiOS HD STB) to your computer's hard drive. That product was used to create this video, as well as most of the high-definition PS3 and Xbox360 gameplay videos on Youtube. In my experience, this product can be a bit buggy, especially when recording Dolby Digital. It is more reliable if you will settle for stereo sound. Picture quality is better than you see in the Youtube videos -- Youtube recompresses and degrades quality -- but not quite as good the original output.
When I want a program on my computer, I simply download the SD/HD recording from my TivoHD's hard drive. I then edit and/or burn to DVD or Blu-ray disk. The ability to download recordings directly from the DVR is one of the features unique to TiVo. Screenshot:
