Multiple Capture Cards

Hello everybody
I installed FME in a computer with XP, and wanted to live
stream 2 event at the same time.
The problem is that, it recegonized that there are two
capture cards but it always select the first one.
Cards are Gigabyte, chipset 7131esaa!
Any help?
Thankyou in advance

Import only takes seconds, so there should not be any problem capturing with the BM software.
The only alternative I can think of is to remove the devices that you don't want to use, so that only one is available for PP.

Streaming multiple streams from multiple capture cards at the same time

Hi All,
I have 2 the same capture card. And I am trying to stream to 2 diffrent rtmp server. I start first one and no problem. But when I run second FME instance and select second stream card, first one turns to black and second one shows up. When I close second, first one again comes back.
What shoul I do for streaming multiple streams form multiple stream cards?
Best regards.

They are, yes, but I'm also working with multitrack sessions using clips made from various different sound files.
Ahh ok, use markers?
So, this sort of thing isn't possible in multitrack mode then?
If not, it sounds I'll have to "mix down" my multitrack session into a single file and set up the markers in Waveform Edit view.
That's an extra step I'd have to do, and after editing the multitrack session, surely some markers . . . oh wait, no . . . every time I output the new mix down file from the multitrack I'd need to redo all the markers. Drat . . .
Honestly, I am very new to Audition, but I'm about to plow into it, big-time, and I'm hoping for a nice non-destructive and fast workflow that'll enable me to output sets of sounds from the same multitrack session.
But, it seems like this functionality is currently missing.

Multiple Capture Cards not Supported in Premier?

Hello,
I have a PC running Windows Pro7. The PC has two Blackmagic Designs Quad Decklink capture cards and an Intensity Pro capture card for a total of 9 capture inputs.
I need Premier Pro to capture video from Decklink (8) which is one of the inputs on one of the Quad Decklink cards.
This input works great in Blackmagic Media Express, Video mixing software and other capture software.
Premier Pro recognizes only 1 Blackmagic capture device, the Intensity pro. It seems to work great but this input is HDMI only. I need to input to the SDI on the Decklink Quad card.
I called BMD tech support and they told me that this is a fault of Premier Pro. They said that Premier randomly pics from the available BMD capture devices and chooses one. He said that if I power down and then power back up that I may very well find that the Intensity Pro no longer works but one of the other BMD capture devices might start working. He said the only solution was to caputre video in a different software such as BMD Media Express.
I really need to capture in Premier Pro to optimize my workflow. I don't have time in my live production to import a 3 hour auto racing event into Premier Pro. If I can capture in Premier on the fly, I can go right into post production once the race is finished.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Multiple channel capture card

Hi
How can I access one channel in a 4-channels capture card? Device is one, and his name is "vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32):0". Can I specify the channel in order to grab image from it?
Thanx

private static void getList() {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          Vector devices =
               (Vector) CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(null).clone();
          Enumeration enum = devices.elements();
          while (enum.hasMoreElements()) {
               CaptureDeviceInfo cdi = (CaptureDeviceInfo) enum.nextElement();
               String name = cdi.getName();
               Format[] fmts = cdi.getFormats();
               System.out.println(name);
               for (int i = 0; i < fmts.length; i++) {
                    System.out.println(fmts);
               if (name.startsWith("vfw:")){
               System.out.println(fmts[i]);
                    //CaptureDeviceManager.removeDevice(cdi);
This will list your audio and video registered with JMFInit.
You should have vfw:0, vfw:1, vfw:2, vfw:3, if fully WDM compatible.

Firewire IEEE 1394: Capture Card vs. On-Board Motherboard

I should know the answer to my question, but I don't...really. To capture video in my current computer, I had to install a video capture card with an IEEE 1394 Port. It is my understanding that there are motherboards that have "on-board" IEEE 1394 Firewire. If I purchase such a motherboard, does that mean I will not need a video capture card? In the specs of motherboards they will give the number of available IEEE 1394 Rear Panel Ports. Do these ports connect to "on-board" firewire and can they be used to capture video? Please set me straight. Thanks.

I agree with Neale. One consideration is the number of controller chips you have on either the MoBo connections, or your card.
Why is that important? Especially with Capture from a camera, it is always best to ONLY have the camera hooked to a separate controller chip. Some MoBo's and cards, might have multiple connectors, but they may all feed through a single chip. That might well preclude having any other FW device hooked to any of the other connections. Sometimes, it's tough to tell the number of IEEE-1394 chips, unless one has a good schematic of the board/card and the various chips are shown.
If one uses other FW devices, then the chip count will likely matter. While I have 4 MoBo connectors w/ 2x chips, I also have a multi-chip 4x connector card, plus a multi-chip 6x FW-1394b (FW-800) card.
The two things that you wish to avoid is daisy-chaining ANY camera, and connecting a camera to any shared chip. If I had a card already, and did not need to include it with the old computer, and had a spare slot on the MoBo, I'd install it too, but then I usually have 4-6 FW-800 externals, plus maybe 4 FW-400 externals, and still have empty chips available for my camera.
Good luck,
Hunt

One FME instance for one Capture Card (or Stream)?

Any chance of running multiple instances so FME can encode
multiple FLV streams simultaneously? Assuming FME can Encode from a
Media Gateway (or Media Server) and not from a capture card.
Thanks
Ravin

Hi Ravin,
You should be able to run multiple instances of FME right
now. That said, encoding requires a lot of computer resource, so it
may not make sense to do this unless you have a very beefy machine.

Does a capture card improve real time functions?

I am reading posts regarding capture cards and i figured for DV material, capture card may not be necessary as firewire is there. but does capture cards improve the effeciency of the machine /CPU , does it render faster and play more real time effects?
thanks
sameer

The Aurora is a Standard Definition card and the Decklink is an HD card. I don't have them both installed at the same time...I put in what I need. Right now I am working with HD so I have the decklink card in.
AJA I/O is a standard definition "solution." I say solution because it isn't a capture card per se, but rather an external box that captures SD signals (SDI, Component, Composite) and inputs them into FCP via a firewire connection to the computer. This allows it to be used on multiple machines easily. The Kona series are High Def cards that need to be installed in the PCI slots of your computer.
What is my workflow with the DSR-11? Probably the same as you. DV/NTSC Easy Setup, then connect it to the computer via firewire and capture. When I am done, I output back to tape. What else is there to do with this?
Codecs? DV, 8-bit uncompressed SD, DCPRO 50, DVCPRO HD. Depends on the project I am working on and how it was shot.
10-bit uncompressed DV? DV by nature is compressed 5:1 when it is recorded to tape. When you capture that via firewire from your DSR-11 deck, you are capturing it at the highest possible quality. It is simply a file transfer. Now, if you were delivering on DV then you don't need a capture card. But if you were, say, needing to deliver a digibeta master, or betasp, then you'd need a capture card to output to that format...uprezzing the DV footage to 8-bit uncompressed (better color space, beter codec for graphics and stils) and output. 10-bit is overkill for DV.
My workflow depends on the footage I am given and the format I need to master to. My HD workflow differs greatly from my DV workflow, which differs from my SD Uncompressed workflow. To go into detail of each would mean writing an article, and I am too busy editing to do that.

Urgent: Unable to capture from TV Capture Card

Hello,
I'm Ashish Shukla. I'm writing an application in JMF 2.1.1b using J2SE 1.4.0 on Win32 platform on Intel Celeron 1 GHz processor which captures from the capture device. It works fine on Intel Create & Share CS110 Web Camera. But now, I'm try to capture from the TV Capture Card Pinnacle Studio PCTV TV Capture Card (Composite Video).
But JMF Registry is not able to detect the TV Capture Card (connected alone) & my PC hangs. But, when WebCamera is plugged in, JMF Registry detects it.
When Both WebCamera (USB port) & TV Capture Card are plugged in, then JMF Registry detects only Web Camera.
If anyone can help me resolve the problem. I'm very thankful.
Yours sincerley,
Ashish Shukla
Wah Java!!

Dear friend
I have a similar problem, did you got the answer...
I m trying to get video from the video capture card first from video then for composite then for ..... each port ... but it looks not to be easy ...

I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them to upload to youtube but it won't let me import them.

I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them so i can upload them to youtube but it won't let me import them, even after changeing them to MP4 format, it just comes up with the message: "No Importable Files None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again."
Ive even tried opening in itunes and copying from thier but they wont open in Itunes, no message or anything they simple just dont open. its strange because it does open in quicktime player.
please if anyone has any ideas that can help me please let me know XD thanks.

First problem: You're fine. The hotter it gets, the more the fans spin up. The computer is designed so that at max load, at max fan speed, it won't overheat (unless it's obstructed by something, e.g. sitting on your bed swallowed by a comforter). It's not the best thing to keep it that toasty for days at a time, but a couple hours at a time shouldn't be a problem.
Second problem: If something in the trash won't delete, just use Secure Empty Trash and it should be fine. Since .torrent files are quite small, it should only take a couple seconds.

Can I use multiple credit cards with family sharing

My kids are adults. Can I use multiple credit cards in family sharing so they can pay for their own purchases?

Hello Cwb1234,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From what I understand, you want to set it up that your kids use their own credit cards for purchases within Family Sharing. Take a look at the article linked below, it outlines purchases and payments for Family Sharing and may offer a solution to the issue that you’re running into.
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
Making purchases
After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.
Once paid for, a purchased item is added to the account of the family member who initiated the purchase. In other words, the content belongs to them, much as it would if you were buying them a book or a DVD. If Family Sharing is ever disabled, each member will keep the purchases they initiated, even though they were paid for by the family organizer.
These are the only current options for payment within Family Sharing.
Regards,
Jeff D.

BlackMagic Intensity Pro Capture Card & (3) 1TB Internal Hard Drives

Hello,
This is my first time using BM Intensity Pro. Prior to tonight all I used was FW400 & iMovie/iDVD.
I have now upgraded to Final Cut Studio with a BM Intensity Pro Capture Card and Three 1TB Hard Drives (7200 RPM with 32MB cache) - Striped as a RAID set to create ONE 2.7 TB HD for Video Storage.
I have a few questions that I would like some help with.
I would like to capture at the highest video quality possible.
I'm worried that Hard Drives wont be able to handle the capture speed or file size?
I ran the BM Disk Speed Test. I'm just not sure what all these numbers mean?
Can someone please explain to me what the following information is telling me?
Do the results mean that I'm good to go with uncompressed HDV via HDMI?
The first is my OEM Mac Hard Drive. The second is my 3TB RAID set.

I would invest in an external RAID controller.
You can find a variety of such from AMUG in RAID5/6 that will support higher sustained thruput.

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...

What is the BEST cable connection from Canopus ADVC 300 to Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card?

I must connect an ADVC 300 to a Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card. For best quality, which cable should I use?
On the ADVC 300 there are outputs of firewire, S-VHS and RCA.
On BMPro it's a little confusing. On the breakout cable there are connectors that say:
-5 B-Y OUT
-4 Y OUT
-3-R-Y OUT
-7-R-Y IN
-8-Y IN
-9 B-Y IN
-15 AUDIO IN RIGHT
-10 AES/EBU OUT
-12 AUDIO LEFT OUT
-14 AUDIO LEFT OUT
-13 AUDIO RIGHT OUT
With the BMPro, there is also a separate, shorter cable. On one end it looks like S-VHS and on the other there are two connectors, one black and one blue.
On the actual BMPro Express card strip instead of using the breakout cable, there is HDMI IN (and HDMI OUT).
How should I connect this? Is there an adapter cable of FIREWIRE TO HDMI?
Any help is much appreciated.

Well, when I researched how best to digitize VHS (into Final Cut Pro 7), I learned two of the best devices to use are BMPro and Canopus ADVC 300. I’m using the ADVC 300 for the built-in time base corrector. I definitely want to use that to stabilize the video. I also read how well BMPro improves image quality. So, I thought to use the two together must produce outstanding quality (well, as good as VHS can be).
Perhaps I got confused into thinking I can use both. But the BMPro appears to have an S-VHS adapter.
I guess I’m wondering what is better quality:
Run the firewire from the Canopus ADVC 300 converter directly into the firewire port on the Mac Pro
Or, run an S-VHS cable from the Canopus ADVC 300 into the BMPro Capture card
(I should mention that I have purchased all these items and already have the BMPro Card installed so at this point it’s not a cost issue, but rather an issue of simply which works best?)

Use Camera with capture card

Hi,
I'm using the camera method to view input from a webcam or to
view input from my capture card locally.
My webcam looks perfect, but I don't see any input from my
capture card.
Of course I've got input (tested with windows media encoder).
Should I activate or define the input (composite video,
s-video) or anything.
If yes.... How do I do this...
Thanks.
greetz Vince

Hi,
I have a similar problem. I want to use a webcam by the
composite connection and a dvd-recorder by the s-video connection
of the same capture card. How do I manage my flash application to
get the correct input source, that I have defined inside the
capture card configuration tool ?
Thanks,
Franz

Blackmagic Capture Cards?

Anyone using Blackmagic capture cards?
I have an Intensity Pro. Composite and s-video work fine. I
cannot get component working with a 720p or 1080i signal. FMLE
doesn't give me the option to select a resolution higher than
720x486. I haven't tested the HDMI input. Any ideas?
Maybe the problem is related to
this
post?

The video doesn't work for me.
I can get video output from the blackmagic media express software.
set to 1080i 59.94
The control panel for the blackmagic is set to 720p HD to SD letterbox 16:9 downconvert....
But when I launch the FMLE i just get a blank screen.
I'm told there is an ACC plugin to fix the audio isssu. HDMI is outputing sound at higher then 44100 so you need a plugin to deal with that...
But my probelm is with the video... I don't get a video stream....
Hell it would be nice if FMLE would support 1900x1080 and not make me mess around with all this....
anyone hanve any ideas?
