Preview HDV with a Decklink HD card?

I am thinking of purchasing a Decklink HD Pro video card, since I am using both my monitor ports for dual display and can't preview HDV through Firewire.
I have learned that a Decklink card is the solution, but will I need to convert my HDV material, or can a Decklink card output HDV directly from the computer.
Please guide my to how this works, since I can't seem to find a clear explanation.
Best,
Kasp

Thanks for your answer.
What kind of connection/cables do you use between the card and you Panasonic HD monitor?
I will connecting the computer to a HD Ready Samsung television and an HD Ready Sony video projector through Component.
Would that be problem free?
thanks,
Kasp

Premiere cs4 works NOT with BMD DECKLINK EXTREME card

hello,
in opposite to the information at
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/pdfs/prempro_cs4_formatguide.pdf
no decklink or SDI presets appear while opening a new project.
Since I work with SDI (DIGITAL BETACAM) I can not use PrCS4.
Is there any trick there?
regards
vonthile

I know that the last Blackmagic update was a month before CS4 came out and only then did really get it working correctly with CS3.
Also keep in mind that that RED support has been on that list since October but was only released a month ago.
Maybe someone else can answer this better but with CS3 I didn't get the presets from Blackmagic until I installed the update from them, which still hasn't happened.
It's my understanding that Adobe didn't release an SDK until the 4.0.1 update. Meaning it'll be a few months for everyone to catch up.

Export to Tape Grayed Out, 4.2.1, DeckLink Extreme Card

I have tried everything I can think of and read all of the related posts and I am unable to get video output when I play back the video in Premier CS4 4.2.1
with a DeckLink Extreme Card on Win XP SP2.
The deck I need to output to is a Panasonic D5 deck with SDI inputs and w/no deck control. For reasons related to forensics, I need to be able record the video at 10-bit uncompressed to preserve forensic details for future reference. Tape is much cheaper and more reliable in this case than any electronic means. A typical recording is usually 100 to 400 GB in size.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jonathan

It may not be any good using the trial version as mpeg 4 or mpeg-2/HDV codec may not be included. (although I thought they were ?)
Regarding Encore CS5.1 which is included with CS5.5.2 , it will give you a choice of any number of codecs,but,you can choose the data speed, in the case of Canon XH A1 @HDV 1440 x 1080i it will not be mpeg 4 as that is from an amature AVCHD at say 15mbps, choose 25 mbps @ 1440 x 1080i anamorphic as that is the rate of the XH A1 or higher as that is a professional rate and quality is retained.
Note : If you trial Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 11 )@ $119 AUD or less, (check for upogrades) it will have all the codecs including mpeg-2/HDV and will run on a 2GB min Duo-Core processor in 32 bit, it will run faster with a CUDA Video card (it is extremely fast with HDV, mpeg-4, H.264mov etc) . I used it occasionally as it has a very good video stabilizer at no extra cost ; CS5.5.2 needs a 64 bit computer. and you will need to buy Adobe After Effects for it's decent Stabilizer (The Warp stabilizer is now apparently included in CS6) @ about $1550 or ProDAD Mercalli V2 Pro as a plug-in for Premiere Pro @ about $250 from Germany or ProDAD 's East Coast of USA Centre. There is no need to convert the codecs in either product for ease of editing on either timeline. You do not need to buy the Production Suite to run Premiere Pro CS5.5.2 .
I find the interface of CS5.5.2 is better and wonderfull to use, but, you will need to adapt to their Adobe's Minimum System Requirements re; Computer, and I use an CUDA approved Nividia Quadro FX 3800 which is a distinct advantage.I have been with Adobe for over 7 years since the beginning with mpeg-2/HDV and PP 1.5.1 which is still very good but, cannot handle AVCHD or H.264mov 1920 x 1080p
Good luck (CS5.5.2 is Adobe's best video editing product in 7 years)..Looks like CS6 is on the way ?

DeckLink SDI card & FCP & Wireless - no no!

Hi All
I purchased a DeckLink SDI card so I could connect my SDI studio monitor for preview. I also have a wireless (new magic mouse) mouse. After the card was installed my mouse started acting up and finally quit working.
After a phone call to Apple Care and 2 trips to the Apple store lugging my Mac Pro, we found out that it was the card that was somehow affecting the bluetooth. The Apple Genius was about ready to order a new Bluetooth card. We had the card on slot 2 first then tried it on slot 4 as Blackmagic recommended. As a last resort we pulled the card out and WALA! the mouse started working fine again.
I called Blackmagic Design and while the support guy was interested in the case offered no suggestions or help. He told me that was the first time he's come across this; but was going to send in the report.
So what do I do? Space on my desk is limited and wired mice are cumbersome. He suggested that I use a wired mouse and hopefully I'd hear from them. Nope! I got 14 days to return the card to B&H. Blackmagic didn't even want the card or offer to swap it out.
Has anyone experience this besides me? Bad card or flaw? I didn't want to be stuck with a $265 card I can't use.
So now back to the drawing board. All I want to do is connect my HD studio monitor to the Mac Pro. I don't need a $1000+ do everything card.
Just a 'heads-up".

For having a low signal, consider the distance of the pc from the router. And regarding the internet connection, I believe you haven't configured it yet that's why it's not giving you an accesss to the internet.

Preview freezes with Quadro FX 3800 (Pr CS5.03)

Just wanted to check quickly if anyone else seen this. I consistently (i.e. always) get a display driver error on a specific system under all of the following circumstances:
GPU Aceleration enabled
Quadro FX 3800 installed
The timeline includes a title
The moment the timeline cursor wanders into the title, the preview window in Pr freezes. The audio continues playing. In order to get the preview back, I need to restart Premiere. Sometimes the freeze is followed by an NVidia error message, display driver encountered an error and has recovered. Doesn't matter if you scrub or play - the same error.
The error does not happen with a different graphics card (Quadro CX == FX 4800).
The error does not happen when the MPE is set to software rather than GPU-accelerated.
The error happens regardless of the display driver (tried three), sequence settings, user environment, Premiere Pro settings (cleared them once).
I haven't yet tried to re-install Pr (it's just too much work) or the OS (even more work). Just wanted to check if anyone else seen this.
The system is an HP Z800 (FM012UT, one Xeon X5667 3.06GHz, 12GB RAM, 320GB 1st HDD, PNY Quadro FX 3800 1GB graphics, 6TB Media Array RAID0 3x 2TB), Matrox MXO2 LE (currently disconnected). It's been kept pristine by the client (minimum if any changes since delivered in July 2010).
The problem could be:
Software configuration of this specific system (but not the graphics card): e.g. some corrupted file in the OS or CS5 that causes the error. Re-installing the OS and/or CS5 would fix it. The question is though, why only FX 3800 and not CX?
A hardware error on this specific Quadro FX 3800. Replacing it with another FX 3800 would fix it;
Some sort of a generic incompatibility of Pr CS5 with Quadro FX 3800.
My next step is to pop that FX 3800 into a known good system, install CS5 on it and see if the problem recurs. I dread it.
Thanks for any ideas.

The problem is also happening on a known good system with the same FX 3800. The problem does not happen on either system with a different graphics card (Quadro CX).
That leaves two choices:
Premiere Pro CS5.03 problem with GPU acceleration on Quadro FX 3800
The Quadro FX 3800 I have in my hands is defective.
Anyone else has a Quadro FX 3800 and Premiere Pro CS5.03? Could you please try dropping a title on a timeline, scrub it a couple of times; change MPE to "software"; then to "GPU acceleration again (delete previews), and scrub again. Same problem? No problem?
Thanks!

How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card to Final cut Pro 5.1.4

How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card (recorded with the Sony HVR Z 7E) to Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 – is this possible at all?
I managed to import the files to Premiere, but it was just a test. I am working at a very huge documentary project with Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 thats why I would prefere not to change the program or the version.
Simply exporting from Premiere back to final cut is also very complicated.
Thanks for any ideas.

First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation. I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times. All hard drive will eventually fail. It's a question of when, not if.
I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files. You can try importing these directly into fcp.
If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap
http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap
or
Magic Bullet Grinder
http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/
But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy. HDV is a problematic format. Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

Solutions for previewing HDV via video monitors ?

I have recently been given the task of setting up a video editing suite combining:
FCP6
HVR-1500 decks
Panasonic BT-LH1700WE LCD video monitors
FX7E HDV cameras
I've read that it is not possible to preview HDV via firewire and this seems to be the case thus rendering the Video preview monitors useless via the decks at least.
My question is what would we need to get in order to get a live broadcast preview to the monitors ?
Many thanks in advance.

Ok so i've done a little research and it seems like The Matrox MXO would be the best solution for our needs.
Does anybody have any experiance with this or a similar output device ?

MIcrophone class not displaying decklink capture card in names

hi,
I have a desktop application in which i have an option to select the audio video devices to publish the stream.The Camera.names displaying the decklink capture card .But Microphone.names is not showing the name.
Is there anyway to get it in the list of audio devices?
Thanks

@DXter
you have to go to
contacts > options > settings > and click it to display either phone memory or SIM memory, not both, then it shows up as several memories ...
i am going with phone memory and then just copying onto my SIM when i get a new number, at least that is how i am trialling it.

GPU acceleration with the nvidia 680M card?

Should i have GPU acceleration with the nvidia 680M card? i believe the 680 is supported but is the 680M supported? If not, any plans to support this card in the next update?

I navigated to the cuda support folder and added the Nvidia 680M to the list. The i went to the Nvidia settings and changed the Adobe premiere setting to compatibility mode. Opened my project and began editing. It crashes after a few seconds.
I'm also getting this full screen issue that people are talking about. For example, when I minimise premiere to work in another program and go back to premiere when i'm done I get a full screen display of the frame currently in the preview window. This also happens when the computer is inactive for a time. I'll came back to the computer after a few minutes to find the view in full screen. Sometimes a double clip it and it brings back the standard editing workspace but sometimes I have to 'control, alt, delete' to start task manager, open a new window (can be anything) and navigated to that window then back to premiere. It's as if Premiere has frozen.

Two BlackMagic DeckLink SDI Cards in FMLE

Is it possible to run two BlackMagic DeckLink SDI cards in two separate instances of Flash Media Live Encoder?
I can run one fine, but if I try to select the other, even if card # 1 [Decklink Video Capture in FMLE] is not in use, card #2 [Decklink Video Capture (2) in FMLE] only shows black. I have verified that video signal is working. Finally I installed Wirecast Demo to test if it was software and sure enough it works fine in Wirecast, each card shows the video fine.
I contacted BlackMagic and they stated it was the software. I have successfully done this with Viewcast Cards but now that we went HD BlackMagic are cheaper, but so far no luck in FMLE.
I would appreciate any isnight on this issue.
Thank you!
-Nate

Hi Pi,
Did you manage to resolve the problem? We're having similar issue. BM Media Express software recognises the card, but FMLE just reports it as Decklink and gives a blank input display. Any attempt to change settings causes FMLE to crash.
Thanks,

How do I access the iTunes Preview page with a web browser?

Does anyone out there know how to access the iTunes app preview page with a web browser? So far the only way I've been able to get there is by Googling the app with the term 'iTunes preview'. Is that really the only way? The iTunes page itself has no obvious link to the app list.
Thanks.

Thanks, but I should have been more specific. I was trying to access the iTunes app preview page on my PC through Chrome. While I have an iPad, it's not convenient to have to refer to it every time I want to discuss an iOS app.

I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

If your iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider
can unlock it. Contact the wireless provider in Hong Kong to see if they
offer unlocking and if you qualify.
If your iPhone is locked to an AppleID that you do not know, return it for
a refund as it is useless. Only the person whose AppleID was used for
activation can remove the lock. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
If neither of the above is what you are facing, provide more detail so someone
may offer a solution.

Just disable the gameport on "Device Manager" to see if it's the culprit.
Have you also played with mouse settings (acceleration and saple rate)?

Samsung S4 Will not work with ANGOLA (UNITEL) SIM Card

I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 that I cannot get to work with a local SIM card in ANGOLA. I was told my phone would work with an overseas sim card. I need HELP. My phone will not use an ANGOLA UNITEL sim card for data. I believe my phone is still locked. What can be done??? HELP

APN is what has to be changed. APN stands for Access Point Name.
If you search for Angola UNITEL APN you will find several sites on line with the correct information you need to enter.
You enter the details under more networks in the settings menu, just keep digging until you find APN.
You do not need a rooted phone and all global phones are already unlocked.
It is very easy to do and should not have been difficult but it was. Now that I know how, I hope others with similar problems will find this posting
