Need Advice: Which Camera 4 Capturing HDTV & Flipping Monitor Horizontally

I have CS4 Premiere and need to buy an HDTV camera and have questions how to achieve the following:
1) Capture hours of continous video direct to PC hard drive without stopping.
2) Display in real time a monitor image with the video flipped horizontally on a consumer LCD HDTV, so the monitor image is reversed as if you were viewing yourself in a mirror (we're recording a makeup artist who is applying makeup to a woman and needs his monitor to reflect a mirror-like image)
Any idea how to flip a monitor signal horizontally? I know how to do this in post production, but I need to do it on the realtime monitor feed from the camera.
Your recommendations for HDTV camera that works well with CS4, probably feeding a USB-2.0 signal to the PC.
Jonathan in Atlanta

I've learned that Adobe OnLocation when capturing video has a setting to flip video horizontally in the monitor display, so that would be a solution. (Few LCD consumer TVs have any ability to flip in hardware, except for Sharp LCD's which seem to have a mirror command, or professional video monitors which often can flip.)
My nagging problem now is apparently OnLocation cannot capture video from the newer HD consumer cameras which only have USB 2.0 and HDMI outputs, whereas OnLocation CS4 at this moment appears to only support 1394 firewire. New cameras no longer have 1394 outputs, the trend is to USB 2.0

  • Needs advice on Cam for Music-Video!

    Is the Sony HDR-FX1 a good choice to shoot Music-Video's and is it also the same HDR-FX1e.
    Secondly the reviews on these Cam says PAL, so would it make a big difference in comparison to NTSC, or can you change to NTSC while your in FCP.
    And what is the big difference in Shooting in PAL or NTSC?
    Or even to edit in PAL or NTSC other than one being American base format and the Other European?
    And how good is the Mic on the Cam or is it better to get another Mic in doing live Recordings on locations?
    And whats the best intergration with Logic-Pro 7 ?
    L.P. 7.1.
    L.P. 7.2.1
    L.P. 7.2.3.
    Or is it better with Logic-Pro 8?
    And does it runs flawless on Tiger 10.4.9, in short what is the best OSX, or should i update to Leo?
    Fr.BlayZay.

    I read about Panasonic AG-DVX 100 Cam that shoot in 24f and before its print in FCP, the pull down takes it to 29f.
    And the Sony i believe shoot near enough the same as the Panasonic.
    So if that's the case would the conversion of FCP for the pull down come out alright, there is no point really in jumping to another Forum when the integration is with FCP!
    Just need to get a cam that integrates well with FCP for a budget of under $4,000.00 and in the range of 29.97f,

  • I need advice on buying a new computer and monitor.

    Without going into huge detail, I am ready to buy a new desktop for my photography hobby.  I am still running
    CS3 (hoping that will work with Windows 7?), Corel Paint Shop Pro X (yeah, I know I have really old software, but I
    don't feel the need to upgrade just yet), Picasa, and all the software that comes with my Canon 40D.  I take all my pics in
    .raw and then edit/convert.  I have a 1 terabyte eternal drive where I store my photos, but editing from that source is S-L-O-W.
    Someone mentioned on another site something about aneSata drive.  Need more info. (I want an easy way to backup my
    photos monthly, because I have a fear of someone breaking in my home, stealing my pc and then all my photos are gone.
    With the external drive, I can put it in my safe deposit box.)
    I want a monitor (preferably not widescreen) that will be accurate with color and not have a glare, maybe 20" or so.  I print photos at home on my HP Photosmart printer, but I also have some printed professionally.  I would like recommendations on monitor calibration gadgets/software
    so that what I see is very close to what will print.
    This computer will have MSOffice 2010 on it. Will have quite a few other softwares on it that are currently on my old pc.
    We don't watch movies on the PC or do any gaming so the video card will mainly be used for photography and some light video use.  We do skype.
    Would like to stay in the range of $1500-2000 if possible.  I've basically purchased Dell's in the past due to the ease of designing my system,
    but I have had two lemons and am certainly not tied to Dell.
    I know I want a wireless mouse/keyboard.  Currently have Dell Speakers 5/1, which are decent enough for my use, as long as I can connect them to my
    new PC.
    Thanks for good advice!!  (And I want this PC to last me about 5 years so I would guess I need at least 8 g ram, 3.5 GHz processor, preferably Intel.
    Also want 4 or more USB ports on the front or side, as my PC location is not suitable to use the back ports easily.)   Thank you!

    I've taken quite a "non-standard" approach to this...  a little while back I purchased a powerful Dell Precision T5400 workstation that's come off lease from eBay, then populated it with good hardware.  Result?  Dual quad core Xeon 3.16 GHz 16 GB system with 3 TB of internal RAID disk storage and a good modern video card for about $1500.  This is a system that would have sold new for probably $6,000 just a few years ago.
    I didn't have to buy any of the external stuff (monitor, backup drives, keyboard/mouse, etc.) because I upgraded from an existing workstation and was able to re-use all that stuff, plus one 1 TB drive from the old system - which I then sold for $700 to recoup some of the cost (total outlay was then only $800).
    I describe the system and how I put it together in some detail here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/827500
    This is a far more powerful system than anything I could get new for the same price.
    Just a quick glance at eBay and I see that some T5500 workstations are becoming available for reasonable prices now.  I see, for example, a dual quad system with 12 GB of RAM for a Buy It Now price of a hair over $1000.

    If iPhoto doesn't do what you need you could have a look at Aperture (available at the Mac App Store, but have a look here for a free trial: http://www.apple.com/aperture/trial/
    Pixelmator is the one I use - great value for the money and does everything I used to need to do in Photoshop. Have a look here: http://www.pixelmator.com/
    If you buy it from the Mac App Store Pixelmator comes with a free upgrade to version 2 (rumoured to be in the next couple of weeks, according to the developers blog).
    Usual caveat: I don't intend to sound like a commercial, just a happy user with no connections to Pixelmator.

  • New user of G4 - need advice on selection of printer, DV and digital camera

    I am a recent convert to mac and need advice from experts on the following:
    I plan to use my G4 MDD primarily for home computing, experimenting with digital photography, create DVDs and explore multimedia primarily as a hobby. Please advice me on selection of a decent digital camera and or a DV camera. I am not sure if I have a decent DV camera - whether this will be good enough for still photos as well. My G4 has firewire ports.
    Also I am interested in buying a printer that I can use with my mac as well as connect to a two other windows systems. My printing needs are primarily documents and maybe photos.. I think that going in for a laser printer makes sense in terms of reliability .
    I am not looking for the highend equipment - willing to spend upto 750 $ on all items. Thanks in advance.

    raja,
    welcome to discussions.
    Digital Camera, DV camera and colour Laser Printer all for $750 ??
    I'm afraid you'll have to go for an inkjet printer if you want colour photos. Expensive doesn't even begin to describe Colour Laser Printers. HP make good printers, but tend to be a bit more expensive to run, Epson make excellent photo printers, are are a bit more economical to run, take a look at the iP4000 and iP5000. I still use my old HP DeskJet 1200 (does A3), and a DeskJet 970Cxi (everyday), both use the same cartidges. These are about 7 years old, there are modern versions retailing now at about half of what I paid for these then(always the case).
    Digital cameras can be decided by what purpose you intend to use them for. I have an 18 month old Nikon D100 digital SLR. 6M pixel (which was a lot then) but that might not matter, it takes Nikon lenses (and other manufacturer lenses to the same spec), so I can shoot with a 300mm, 400mm, 600mm lens. Nikon has a D50 out now, a cheaper, newer version of my camera. I can print A3 photo real from 6M pixels and with the right lens I don't need to crop my pictures too much. If you want to print photo real A4 (and that's a LOT of ink) a 3-4M pixel camera would be fine. Most cameras now are 5-8 M pixel, this is because the pictures they take have to be cropped drastically because they have an inadequate lens. On top of that my Nikon takes really great pictures, better than any of my other digi cameras (but not as good as my ancient Olympus 35mm muji-zoom compact with 200 film).
    So if you're going to take a lot of close ups in well lit areas, product shots, interior shots with flash, ie. "snaps" rather than photography, any cheap digi camera will do. Good points are
    - USB / Firewire connectivity,
    - non-proprietry battery technology, ie. it uses 4 x recharable AAs instead of a battery that only fits that camera, and it comes with a AA recharger.
    - non-proprietry storage technology, ie. it uses Compact Flash or some other that is used by a large portion of cameras, rather than just be that manufacturer.
    - digital zoom is worthless.
    If you're doing outdoor photography, wildlife, landscapes, etc, you may want something with a changeable lens and SLR technology, a digital SLR. Not all digital SLR cameras have changeable lenses. Same good points as above, but be prepared to sacrifice one of the points for a good camera. Heavy cameras are easier to hold steady with a big lens, so try for a metal case (it'll be coated in plastic anyway).
    For outdoors the most important thing is the amount of light entering the camera (indoors you can control the lighting with flash / fitted lighting), digital SLRs can have enormous lenses (my 28mm hyperzoom lens has a 72mm diameter), compare this to a compact digital camera with a 12mm diameter lens, I take 36x the light of a compact. And it shows in the picture quality.
    I'm a complete duffer with DV cameras so I won't lead you astray with this, but be aware some do offer the option to take digital pictures. Indeed some digital cameras can take low quality short movies.
    Let us know if you have any more questions.

  • I'm desperately needing advice to a common question.  I use Quicken and love it.  But the Mac version is not as great as the PC.   Has anyone installed it by segmenting their Mac with Parallels or Fusion or Boot camp.  If so, which one do you recommend.

    I'm desperately needing advice.  New Mac.   Used Quicken on my PC.  Researched all software for Financial programs and Quicken is still the most recommended.   I want to use Quicken on my Mac.  The Mac version is not highly rated so I would need to partition my Mac.   Has anyone done this for their quicken program and if so, which partitioning program did you use - Parallels, Fusion ware or Boot camp?
    Thx

    Virtual Box is safe and well developed, it offers similar or identical features to the paid competition, it may be a little less polished but that's all.
    Download and try it out, nothing to lose (except time).

  • I'm running CS4 and use a Canon T3i to shoot RAW. Which camera raw patch do I need?

    I'm running CS4 and use a Canon T3i to shoot RAW. Which camera raw patch do I need? I get his error when trying to install the latest patch: "Adobe Application Manager is needed to resolve this problem, however it is missing or damaged. Download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager or install this product again."

    If the camera is newer than the last version of Camera Raw that was released for an older version of Photoshop, you won't be able to get direct, convenient "open file" support for the raw files.
    You can check per these links:
    Minimum Camera Raw version required for a particular camera:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw versions available for update with various Photoshop releases:
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Just glancing at those links, Photoshop CS4 can update to only as far as Camera Raw 5.7.  Unfortunately, the minimum required version to work with your T3i is Camera Raw 6.4.
    Your fallback position will be to either convert your raw files to DNG format with the latest free DNG converter release, or get a newer version of Photoshop.  The later has an advantage in that there have been substantial improvements to Camera Raw in recent releases.

  • Firmware v2.1 bricks my camera - Need advice

    I need advice. I bought the FS7 a month ago and it came with Firmware 2.0. I have been getting used to the camera and I think it's a great machine, still has some bugs, but manageable. The huge issue I have found it that I cannot upgrade to V2.1 without the camera stopping to function. I do the upgrade procedure as stated by Sony http://bit.ly/1E4o32D  Using a 32 GB Class 10 Sony SD card. The .md5 is correct. No lenses or adapters installed, no battery, no cards, not even the grip remote. I have tried several times, even after an ALL RESET. The procedure takes the normal amount of time in step one. When step one gets to 100% it restarts the camera and starts step 2. When step 2 ends, ussually after 9m45s, it pops a screen saying "Software Upgraded" with only one option to click on "Done". Then, I cannot push the "Done" because all buttons in the camere have ceased to respond. Nothing electronic in the body works. The on/off button does not turn off the camera, so I ended up taking the power cord out. After that the camera starts out normally but the buttons will not work. I finnally found out (I was thinking the camera was a brick by this point) that I could use the remote grip buttons. So I have ended up installing V2.0... five times I have tried it. It does not work. Any help please? 

    Hi Daniel, Thank you for the comments about my training video, but I'm afraid I don't have an answer about your firmware update problem if it's not the HOLD button.  To be honest, I have not even bothered to update to 2.1 myself yet.  Normally I try to keep my firmware updated, but in this case, I'm too busy and  I just don't care enough to bother with it.  None of the "improvements" interest me and I'm happy with the camera is running right now.   Yes, I am guilty of not following my own advice about keeping the firmware up to date. I guess you can either reach out to Sony or just keep using 2.0 until another update is released.  I know what I would do, but I don't want to offer any advice one way or the other. The scene files that can be downloaded from my website were created with v1.1 and I have not seen any reason to update them.  They sitll work fine for me and nobody has reported any issues. Good luck.

  • I want to transfer lots of vhs home movies to dvd, need advice on how to do that.

    i was looking at a roxio vhs to dvd product for mac, but i'm not sure it's compatible with the new imac i just bought.  Any advice?

    Rather than the Roxio product, I would recommend that you look at the products from El Gato.
    I used the EyeTV Hybrid and it worked great. It attaches to the Mac via USB and attached to the VHS deck through composite cables (rca jacks). The EyeTV Hybrid will import your VHS, but it will also turn your Mac into an HD TV if you add a rabbit ears antenna. You can record and edit TV shows.
    If you use this option, you can import the VHS into the EyeTV software. You can them import it into iMovie if you like to do editing. Then transfer to iDVD to burn a DVD.
    El Gato makes the hardware (but not the software) for the Roxio product. They also make their own version of the VHS capture product with their own software.  I have no opinion on whether it is any good or not, but I have seen posts by others who had a difficult time with it.
    El Gato EyeTV website.
    If you go up a few hundred dollars in price, a company called Grass Valley makes some Digital Analog Converters which will also capture VHS. You attach via RCA cables to the VHS deck, and attach to Mac via Firewire, so make sure your Mac has Firewire. People have tried the ADVC 300 and the ADVC 110 with good results.
    One more thing, if you have a brand new iMac, it may not come preinstalled with iDVD. You may need to purchase iDVD or Toast from Roxio to be able to make DVDs. You can also buy Compressor from Apple to make DVDs. The Roxio option includes a basic version of Toast.
    Finally, here is a movie I made after capturing with the EyeTV Hybrid so you can get a feel for the quality. It is not great, because the quality of a VHS is not even as good a standard definition TV, but it still came out pretty good. I would not expect it to look great on a big screen TV, though.

  • Need advice on replacing Toshiba hard drive

    I have other manufacturers laptop with a Toshiba 60GB MK6021GAS hard drive. I believe the hard drive is on its way out and I want to pull everything off of the disk for restoring to another new one. I need everything from the drive because the OS image is one which was loaded by the company I contract with and apparently, the standard one which came with the laptop is not compatible with their applications which I also have loaded on the laptop.
    I don't want to have to travel over 100 miles to the company's IT offices to have another OS loaded onto the new drive unless I have to, so what I guess I want to do is create an exact image of the existing drive, then restore the image back to the new disk when I get it.
    I tried making an image of the disk using Paragon Exact Image 7 SE, but the download from the existing faulty hard drive to a DVD dump disk fails consistently, after copying 1.6gb of 8.32gb, reporting that the hard disk is damaged.
    Another piece of software, Active SMART also reports that disk failure is imminent, reporting a "Bad" status for this disk. I have run chkdsk several times over the last few months on the hard disk and on a couple of occasions, it has isolated bad sectors. So everything points to the disk's days being truly numbered.
    What I'd like to be able to do is buy another MK6021GAS hard disk unit, and get all the files from the faulty one onto the new one without having to reload the OS, application software data etc.
    Is that possible? If so, what's the best way? How can I get everything from the disk if this Paragon software will not let me extract everything? Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Phil.

    Thanks for the feedback fellas.
    ActiveSmart is reporting that the drive is bad and failure is imminent because the "Reallocated Sector Count" attribute is not what it should be. From this, I'm assuming that any data, system or otherwise, was reallocated to another "good" sector, perhaps by chkdsk(?) at some point and everything that's vital is intact.
    The PC is working as it should except that every so often (2 weeks can elapse for example), the hard drive starts to make an audible clicking noise which causes the system to stop. Sometimes, tilting the PC forward brings it back to life and everything carries on as normal, but just as often, the machine has to be switched off and left alone for a few hours, or a hardware BSOD happens. This suggests a mechanical failure of some kind to me.
    Maybe I should add Norton Ghost to my toolbox anyway - I'm sure it'll come in handy again at some point and it sounds like I might be able to make progress with this if it allows the skipping of bad sectors.
    Thanks again guys.

  • TV monitor display project, need advice.

    So I will be starting a project soon for my job. It will require some content for a store lobby TV display screen. Basically I will be making some content, whether it be scrolling images, animations, or maybe a video clip playing automatically. I will have maybe all of these things to be played throughout the day in the lobby of my work for customers to be viewing. This is the first time I have taken on a project such as this and I'm not sure where to start. I need advice on what type of information I need in order to begin this such as what size to start my project as, format, etc. Thanks!

    Hi,
    You have two options:
    1. Create the Edge Animation on the Computer, and play the animation and use some screen capture software that will give you a video. This video you can play on your lobby TV  in loop.
    2. If the lobby TV is a smart tv (i.e. it has browser to navigate the webpage), then you can host the Edge animation content files on some server, and navigate to the server url, which will play the animation on the browser in the TV.
