HDV NTSC/PAL machine with HDMI output ???????????? To hire????

I live in the UK where we have PAL...I have a big job to do that is NTSC HDV...
What can I use to play out the tapes into my FC2.....
I have a sony HC7 buts its PAL....I also have access to couple of bigger sony cameras that play Ntsc/Pal but dont have HDMI to access the full HDV to capture it using Pro Rez via my Blachmagic card/HDMI////....
What is best to hire>>>>>

Thanks for your reply....
NO the material is in NTSC and that is what i want to keep it in for NTSC DVD release....Its just that the camera i have is PAL....

  • HDV NTSC & PAL to SD DVD

    PLEASE HELP!!
    I've got two different projects that need to be combined into one dvd for the client.
    problem is the first project was shot and edited as HDV 1080/60i and the second at
    1080/50i, so i have an NTSC sequence and a PAL sequence.
    the DVD needs to be in PAL.
    also, i'm completely confused in regards to getting HDV to a SD DVD.
    can't figure out what's the fastest, highest quality workflow.
    thus far using compressor and dvd studio pro 4 to build the DVD using just the PAL sequence i've gotten nothing but interlaced awful looking video.
    i've searched the boards on these subjects but i'm still not getting anywhere, just more confused.
    any guidance is greatly appreciated!
    thank you

    thanks RedTruck, i will try this!
    quick question:
    is JES deinterlacer the best way to convert the NTSC HDV to PAL HDV (or 1080/60i to 1080/50i)?
    client also now wants this on PAL digibeta, so i'm thinking maybe the easiest way of doing all this is getting everything to 1080/50i HDV PAL, exporting via the camera back to HDV tape then taking the HDV tape to a dub house and have it downconverted there to DigiBeta. from that, reimport as SD PAL to make the PAL DVDs. how does this sound?

  • No multi-channel available with HDMI output in Audio MIDI Setup on Macbook Air mid-2011 !!!!!!!

    Hi everybody !
    I am currently facing some problem with seting up a surround sound system.
    I looked everywhere on the web but i couldn't find any proper answer to this problem.
    To sum up, i want to have a Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound when i'm playing a movie (with an AC3 audio track obviously).
    I have a Macbook Air 13" Core i7 connected to a SAMSUNG Plasma TV via an iWires thunderbolt -> HDMI cable (bought on the same time as the MBA). This TV is connected to an amp via an optical cable and this amp to a 5.1 system.
    When i am going to Audio MIDI Setup to configure the HDMI output, i cannot select any multi-channel option, only stereo !!!!
    Is someone has any idea how to solve this problem ? I am struggling a lot and spent hours on that without finding any solutions !
    Thanks a lot for your time !

    Hello ckkzzzle,
    I was looking into the issue you are describing and think I have a great article to help troubleshoot it. The article is called Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573.
    Start here, and work your way down as needed:
    Check connections
    When using an external display be sure to check the following:
    If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
    Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
    Monitor and Display Adapter Table
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
    If more than one video adapter is in use—or "daisy-chained"—troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
    Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
    If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Will Sony HVR-Z1E HDV Cam (PAL) work with iMovie 6.0.3

    Hi
    I'm about to make a short film and have the possibility of hiring the Sony HVR-Z1E HDV Cam (http://www.sonybiz.net/biz/view/ShowProduct.action?product=HVR-Z1E&site=bizenGB&pageType=Overview&category=HDVCamcorders) for the shoot.
    Has anyone here used a camera like this with iMovie HD 6.0.3? Can iMovie import the footage and edit it?
    Or should I immediately be thinking of Final Cut Studio or Final Cut Express?
    Cheers
    Ewan
    Power PC G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1.67ghz 2gb RAM

    "..I'd only be able to use the DV shoot mode on the cam ... But you say it works well?!.."
    Perfectly: if you shoot in HDV, iMovie HD converts the incoming HDV footage into Apple's Intermediate Codec "on-the-fly" (..it converts the MPEG-2 HDV into a form which iMovie can handle, retaining all the extra detail of hi-def..) and that's what iMovie edits.
    You can then send your edited movie back out to a clean tape in the camera, and it's converted back to the "native" HDV format as it's exported from iMovie.
    At present, hi-def DVDs can be made only by using Apple's DVD Studio Pro (expensive) software, which burns hi-def onto normal DVDs ..but they're playable only on a Mac, not on an ordinary DVD player.
    So if you want to keep everything as hi-def when you've finished, send it back to tape, and not to iDVD (..which will knock it down to standard-def when creating a DVD from your hi-def iMovie project..)
    Because a huge amount of processing is needed for converting incoming HDV into AIC in 'real time' (..and the faster the Mac processor, and more RAM, the better..) your G4 will NOT be able to import in real time.
    You may also get occasional - temporary - glitches, in that the sound of some clips may seeem to be running slow, and be low-pitched, after importing. This is an artifact of slower-than-real-time importing, and if you quit from iMovie after importing, then restart the program (thereby clearing memory caches in your Mac), clips should play normally.
    Any rendering - dissolves, titles and other F/X - will take longer than with standard DV, as there's more data per frame to be manipulated. Straight cuts should be OK.
    "..an issue with the Firewire 600 port.." ..There's FireWire 400 and 800, but maybe "600" was a slip of your keyboard..
    "..a lead with a four pin firewire camera plug on one end and a Firewire 800 plug on the other. Works perfectly well for the Handycam. I wonder if it'll do the trick for this bigger beast?.." ..It's never worked for me! (..Maybe I've used a badly-wired cable or two..) ..I couldn't get a 4-pin-to-9-pin (FW800) cable to work, ever, with any normal 'consumer' Handycam ..nor with the FX1.
    ..But you seem to have got it to work, so it may work with the Z1 after all.
    "..I'm hiring so there are limits.." ..Don't forget to download the instruction manual (..when you're ready, click to download it as a .pdf here..)
    [NOTE: That's for the US/International version: I can't find the European (E suffix) manual at the moment, but I'm sure you can if you Google a bit. There's very little difference between them. You'll want to choose and use 1080i/50 (UK-PAL), not 1080i/60 (US-NTSC).]
    Note that - I don't know what you're shooting - you can set up focus and zoom transitions before you actually shoot them; so if you need a smooth zoom from close to distant, while changing focus, too.. instead of just pressing the zoom button and relying on the autofocus to get it right, you can pre-select start zoom and focus settings, and end zoom and focus settings, then press the 'Do-It!' button, and the camera will handle the changes as pre-programmed ..while you're busy slow-panning, for instance.
    For more of a "film look" you can also use one of the built-in Neutral Density filters ..but as that opens up the aperture wider, focus becomes more critical: hence the usefulness of the pre-set focus and zoom.
    I normally shoot always at a shutter speed of one fiftieth, and never let the camera choose automatically. I find this gives -s-m-o-o-t-h- action, but also provides a good range of apertures, too.
    Be sure that you get a big spare battery with it, unless you're shooting near to mains power. The standard battery lasts - as with most cameras - about only 40-45 mins, so be sure to get several, or one really big capacity batt.
    Shoot and replay your tests before the actual shoot, so that you're sure the hired camera has clean heads, with no 'mosaic' drop-out on the tapes.
    Er, can't think of anything else ..going to watch 'Murder She Wrote' now..

  • NTSC PAL conversion with Atlantis software

    Anyone used this: http://www.dvfilm.com/atlantis/index.htm
    The demo appears to work well - but would be grateful for your input before parting with the cash.

    I have about 2000 X 5 - 10 sec clips to convert from NTSC to PAL. Nattress, while very good, is a bit time consuming what with nesting files and all. Haven't considered using Compressor. Will look into that too.

  • 22" ADC to an Xbox 360 with HDMI output?

    I have a 22" ADC Cinema Display, along with an Apple DVI->ADC adapter. Would I be able to connect my LCD to an Xbox 360 through HDMI to DVI (via an adapter)->DVI to ADC? The native resolution of my monitor is 1600x1024.
    If so, what would be the necessary steps/equipment/settings?
    I know there are HD scalers available through Gefen, but I would prefer to avoid this route if possible, as they are expensive.

    thanks for the repply ..
    uff, looks like I will need to get an analog conversor to digital if I want to use my 23" with my x360...
    I found this other vga to dvi box adapter ,its 299$ ,and looks like it work directly from VGA analog to DVI-D .. look here..is the second one in this page call (The VGA to DVI Conversion Box) ,cost just like the X360 core ,arg..sad that microsoft didnt make any cable for that kind of screens and also sad that Apple didnt add any analog or component in extra ...

  • Known "stutter" issue with HDMI output of standard def DV?

    Standard def 60i material, via a Geforce 660 ti and HDMI out, has motion artifacts -- readily seen on pans.  Doesn't look like reverse frame order, but the motion stutters a bit.
    Is this a known issue?  Thanks all.

    I wanted to reply that I just discovered that my Lenovo AIO no longer likes my converter.  I'm not sure why as I have proven that it works by using it on another device.  The other device is a laptop running Windows 7 Pro.
    On a haunch, I plugged in my HDMI TV which has a native HDMI connection and it WORKED.  So, I suppose I'm back to the drawing board and this is indeed not a Lenovo hardware issue.
    Does anyone know of any issues with using a HDMI to VGA converter on a Lenovo B540 AIO?  Link below:
    http://www.startech.com/AV/Converters/Video/HDMI-t​o-VGA-Adapter-Converter-for-Desktop-PC-Laptop-Ultr​...
    I have the one above but I just noticed there is a HD2VGAE which I'm not sure what the difference is.

    I tried the solution in the wiki. The sound would work when I issued the aplay command, but then when I set the .asoundrc file, sound would not work (after logging out and logging back in). I also tried this solution from another thread, but I mistakenly forgot to make backups of the two respective files and now I have no sound at all. Help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
    Edit:
    Also tried this, didn't work either.
    Edit2:
    Finally got it solved! All I had to do was go into alsamixer and unmute the "S/PDIF" channel, follow the instructions from the wiki (see link above), and I finally got the sound to work.

  • Need help created state machine with timed digital output

    Hello everyone I'm new in LabView especially about how to make a state machine. I want to make simulation about state machine with digital output. In Front Panel there are volt_in as an input slider (0-10 V), two numeric control (upper limit and bottom limit), a waveform chart to plot those 3 value, and three boolean (P0.0, P0.1, P0.2) as an indicator. Boolean indicator will on if input from slider exceed the limit in certain situation. This simulation will work as follow:
    1. Define the upper & bottom limit (ex. 8 & 4V)
    2. Make an input from slider (0-10V)
    3. If input (2) exceed the upper limit but less than 10 second (ex. you have 9V input for 8 second, but after 8 second you change the slider back to normal between 4-8V) then the boolean indicator P0.0 & P0.2 will stay off
    4. If input (2) exceed the upper limit more than 10 second (ex. you have 9V input for 4 second, change to 8.5 V for 3 second, and then change to 10V for 3 second) then the boolean indicator P0.0 will turn on for 5 second, turn off, then follow by indicator P0.2 for 5 second, and turn off
    5. Wait 15 second, then repeat process from (2)
    Same process for input that exceed the bottom limit (P0.1 and P0.2 as indicator).
    Can you help me make the block diagram of this process? I will appreciate any of your help.
    Best Regards

    I would highly recommend you to open the template in LabVIEW to design state machines. You can the Standard State Machine template if you go to File -> New.. and Browse to VI -> From Template -> Frameworks -> Design Patterns.

  • Portege M800-105 - HDMI output driver for XP?

    Hi,
    I've got a question wich belongs to the HDMI output.
    I have put Windows XP Home on my Portege with all driver from the Toshiba support page but my HDMI out does not works.
    Now I've seen that there is a driver for Windows Vista called Toshiba HDMI Output.
    Does anybody knows a driver called like this for Windows XP?
    Or has anyone the same problem working with XP but the HDMI output does not works?
    I hope someone can help me with this problem.
    thx
    dschumacher

    Hi
    As far as I know this is a Intel High Definition Audio HDMI driver.
    Im not a M800 owner but Ive got a U400 Satellite with HDMI output and installed XP.
    To be honest I didnt notice any yellow exclamation marks in my device manager but I installed the Intel High Definition Audio HDMI driver from the Intel page
    http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-009244.htm
    Maybe this site will help you
    But note; some notebook features are not available in Win XP but only running Vista!

  • E520 - HDMI Output not working on Samsung TV - although works on other devices

    Laptop does not recognise TV
    I know there are a number of threads with similar questions, I have been through a number of them, however have not come across a solution that works.
    I have a ThinkPad E520 running Windows 8.1 Enterprise Edition x64
    The Laptop has two Graphics adapters
    Intel HD Graphics 3000 (Drive - 9.17.10.2867) - I have recently reverted back from the latest Intel driver to the latest Lenovo
    AMD Radeon 6600M and 6700M Series (Driver - 13.251.9001.1001) - latest on AMD website
    The TV is a Samsung 5 Series 5200 58 inch
    We use the TV at work for presentations and demo etc
    At my desk extend my desktop to a Philips monitor via HDMI and have no problems at all, I also using with HD TV at home, so HDMI port is ok.  Other laptops us the TV fine, so nothing wrong there either.
    Things I have tried
    The obvious 'Windows key + P' extended, duplicated, restarted and tried again
    Did the same as above using screen resolution page - TV is not detected, tried hitting detect - nothing
    Disabling AMD adapter
    Uninstalling Intel HD and reinstalling latest INTEL drivers with HDMI output plugged in
    Uninstalling Intel HD and reinstalling latest LENOVO drivers with HDMI output plugged in (as suggested in other posts)
    Tried different HDMI cables, using HDMI input 1 and 2 in the TV
    Initially you may think its the TV, however we have a number of Lenovo E530's they all work, the problem only exists with the E520's with the switchable graphics.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi- its working now.  The problem is that all your contacts needs to update Skype and have the latest version and then bingo - it works.  Its fab now.
    Problem solved and set for Christmas call around.

  • XBox HDMI output to Apple Cinema Display DVI input

    I have an iogear DVI KVM, a mac pro and an xbox360 with HDMI output that I want to somehow convert to DVI so I can use my Cinema display to game on.
    Is this possible?
    Out of curiosity I bought an HDMI to DVI gender changer to see if I could hook it up that way.
    No result.
    I figure a conversion must be needed to make this work.
    has anyone done this, If so, could you post your hardware setup or recommend a converter.
    thanks

    The splitter sends the same signal to both displays, but they need different resolutions to work.

  • Did 10.9.2 break HDMI output on your Mac?

    I have the mid-range, mid-2011 Mac mini (2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB of 1333 MHz DDR3, and AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics with 256 MB of dedicated GDDR5 memory), running OSX 10.9.2 and, at the time, the version of Server that was current prior to the most recent update.  Two weeks ago, as I occasionally do, I packed it up and carried it and a semi-portable HDMI monitor off to my usual internet cafe.  After hooking up the cables and starting it up I found that the monitor was just blank.  After several restarts I had refined this assessment to the monitor goes suddenly blank partway through bootup.  It was actually working long enough for me to see the apple in the center of the screen and the acitivity wheel gadget rotating below it, but at the end of that stage it goes blank as though it's suddenly lost the signal.
    My Mac mini works fine with my 2010 Cinema Display, but no longer with HDMI.  How about yours?

    Yes, I take a Mac mini and a 19" HDMI monitor to a cafe, on occasion, although I didn't install 10.9.2 that way, and so only discovered the problem with HDMI display the next time that I did take it all to the cafe.
    I don't have another computer with HDMI output with which to test the display, but it works properly with my mini through the first stage of bootup, so both the monitor and the display hardware are okay.
    johnnyicon's comment that his setup initially worked with 10.9.2 makes me wonder whether that was the culprit.  I have System Preferences => App Store => Automatically check for updates => Install system data files and security updates checked, so not everything that's installed shows up in Software Update.
    Checking /Library/Receipts/InstallHistory.plist I see that there are several potential candidates, including several "Incompatible Kernel Extension Configuration Data", a couple of Server updates (I've since uninstalled Server for performance reasons), and several Google Voice and Video installers.
    If 10.9.3 doesn't fix the problem, I'll take the mini (and monitor) to the local Apple Store
    I suspect this problem was introduced as a side-effect of preparing for 2560 X 1440 resolution on 4K monitors over HDMI.

  • MSI GX620 - can't turn on HDMI output

    Hi,
    I have MSI GX620 with HDMI output, and Benq G2420HDB monitor with DVI input. I bought HDMI-to-DVI cable, but when I connect it between the laptop and monitor, monitor recognizes that it has been connected to DVI (it shows the message), but it also says that there is no signal, and turns off.
    When I try analog laptop output, everything's working perfectly, I have the picture on the screen.
    It seems that there is no signal on HDMI output. Do I need to turn it on somehow or what?
    Thanks.

    So I just came back from a friend who also has a DVI monitor. The same situation there - when I plug it on my cable and laptop, nothing happens...
    So, we decided to try installing the latest graphic card drivers... I went to msi site, and the closest thing I could find to my 64-bit Windows 7 were drivers for 32-bit Windows 7. I tried installing them, but they wouldn't install, because they are strictly built for 32-bit Windows version.
    The next step was to go to nVidia site and try looking there. We found 64-bit Windows 7 drivers, installed them, but the situation is the same - still nothing happens on plugging in the DVI monitor...
    So, my guess is:
    1. I need 64-bit Windows 7 drivers for my graphic card but from from the msi site, because these drivers (when they come out) will probably support hdmi output, unlike regular 64-bit Windows 7 drivers from nVidia's site (do you think this makes sense?)
    2. HDMI is simply not working.
    I forgot to mention that up to installing graphic card drivers today, I've had regular graphic drivers which Windows 7 automatically installed. So, maybe they didn't support hdmi, because they didn't come from msi's site (the same goes for the drivers I just installed - they came from nVidia's site, as I previously mentioned).
    What do you think? Thanks.

  • HDV PAL to HDV NTSC to DVD, best conversion method?

    I'm cutting a feature doc shot in HDV PAL. What would you recommend the most efficient way to turn out an HDV NTSC master (to produce a DVD) for the North American market?
    I'm far from any post production house, in the wilds of New Zealand. Ideally I want to be able to do the conversions using the FCP Studio setup ... but need to be able to promise my producers that the end result will be top quality. Is this a Nattress question? Like, for instance, does a Nattress conversion give the same quality result as a hardware conversion, tape to tape?
    I'm thinking that if I can make a straight FCP\Nattress? conversion and end up with TWO HDV masters, PAL and NTSC. And then take each HDV master and produce two separate MPEG2's for the two DVD masters, using Compressor and DVD Pro ... then that might be the easiest way to go.
    If there is a better (even though more expensive way to go, other than a $900 an hour pp studio in L.A.), I want to be able to suggest that to the producers also. Let them choose...
    Thank you,
    Ben

    Hi Ben,
    Why do you try to conform to 24 fps if you want to convert PAL (25fps) to NTSC (30fps) ?
    You also doesn't need to de-interlaced video, do you? What for ?
    Is it for a theatre release or a television ?
    Maybe I didn't understand your problem...
    I've never done it but I would suggest to try to conform your quicktime file like that in Cinema Tools:
    Open file
    Conform
    29,97
    or
    30
    I think one is for frop frame and the other one is for non-drop but I don't know which one, I am not familiar with NTSC either.
    If it's for television you should choose drop frame I think to have the right lenght.
    There is also Reverse Telecine that you can use for NTSC but overall, I would suggest that you take a deep look into Cinema Tools help/manual because it's really well done and I'm quite sure you'll fine all your answers in it.
    Regards,
    Marie
