Video "Pass-Through" to TV Monitor?

Newbie to Final Cut Express here... does the new FC Express have a setting (like iMovie) where the video can "pass through" the connected firewire camera to a TV monitor? I want to be able to see scrubbing, playback, etc. in real time on my TV monitor as well as in the app window.
Thanks!

Yes. View > Video Out > Firewire is the setting. Of course, your camera needs to be in VTR mode to do the passthrough in the correct direction.

Audio and Video Pass Through / Match Source Attributes

I cant find an entry for AME in the bug/feature request form so I'll post this here:
Feature Request:
Please add the 'Match Source Attributes' options to all fields. I see its available for MPEG DVD outputs but not for anything else.
Please add options for 'Audio Passthrough'
The real world example is:
I pass AME a MOV (with 4 audio tracks) which I need the video converted from h264 to ProRes, but I dont want it to change the aspect ratio, frame size, rate etc or change the audio tracks. I just want to re-encode the video to a new codec and wrap with the original audio.
Instead what we have to do is add multiple watch folders depending on the source material....
and we have to add the audio tracks manually using quicktime 7
Because these features dont exist we instead bought Telestream Episode instead of a CS6 upgrade for one of our machines.

Hi.
this is a very common problem with video converters.
most conversion softwares mention it in their FAQ as a known bug.
some people have noticed that loss of AV sync most commonly happens while they do other things on computer while the converter is working.

Does Video Pass-through exist in compressor?

Hi all,
i use a little Program called Stomp from time to time because it can do a very handy function called "Video Passthrough" which means recompressing the audio while leaving the video untouched.
I notice compressor has an audio passthrough option but none for video.
Am I just missing something?

Thanks for the reply - but if David is right and Compressor does not have a Video Passthrough how do i create a custom preset that leaves the video alone?
That sounds like the definition of video passthrough...the very option that I can't find.
How would you do it?

FCP through to External monitor....Sound fine but video is still frames

Hi everybody
In January of this year this problem was posted by Andy D.....
+No matter what combination of settings I choose I cannot get video to play on my HD monitor only a still of the last frame shows up. When I hit play the audio is loud and clear and then when I hit stop the final frame appears on the screen.+
I have this problem but only when the material in my FCP viewer, canvas or sequence is ProRes422 (I'd converted H264s to this before importing into project)! If the project is DV or H264 material that has been rendered by FCP, it plays on the external monitor fine but it seems if we start looking at the high end stuff like ProRes, back to sound but still picture.
I might add here that the path to my external Full HD monitor is through firewire to an ADVC100 converter and then composite cables to the input of the monitor. By the way the same thing happens with an SD monitor.
I haven't tried using my video camera as the link through to the monitor instead of the ADVC100. Would this make a difference? I'd be pretty happy if someone had a solution for this.
Thanks in anticipation.

Unless the camera is a DVCPRO HD camera...like the HPX-170...this won't work. Not via HDV or AVCHD. Playout isn't as simple as it was with DV. There are far cheaper capture cards...Decklink Intensity Pro, Matrox MXO2 mini...but you need a MacPro for those (or with the MXO2 MIni, a laptop with an Express34 slot). An iMac is severely limited in what it can do.
Sorry.
#25 HDV external Monitor Viewing
Shane's Stock Answer #25 - HDV external Monitor Viewing
To view HDV on an external monitor in high definition you are going to need to purchase a capture card, like the ones Decklink (www.decklink.com) or AJA (www.aja.com) offer. They will both play out HDV in real time. The catch is that you cannot view this on a regular TV or NTSC monitor. Since this is HD, an HD monitor will be needed. HOWEVER, both cards are capable of down converting the signal so that it can be displayed on an SD monitor. This won't be color accurate
The real reason why you can't monitor HDV through a Firewire camera is because Firewire HDV cameras don't decode incoming HDV streams and route them to their outputs like DV cameras do.
Good options for you are the Matrox MXO2 mini...$450...coupled with an HDTV. Or a Matrox MXO (DVI connection) coupled with an Apple 23" display gets you good quality.
And there are the Decklink Intensity and Intensity PRO cards as well, and the AJA I/O Express...
You can, however, view HDV out via firewire as DV...lowering the resolution to that of DV, but still viewable. This is not full quality nor should it be used to judge the quality of your footage or used to color correct to. This is just a way to view the footage on a large monitor.
Here are some examples of some of the possibilities:
- DV or HDV sequence output to an SDI signal on a third-party interface
- An uncompressed NTSC or PAL sequence output to a DV FireWire output
- An HDV sequence output to a DV FireWire output
Sequence and output formats must have compatible frame rates. For example,
sequences with a frame rate of 60, 30, or 24 fps can be output to a 30 fps device,
but not to a 25 or 50 fps device.

Can't see video playing through external monitor

Well it use to work, seeing the Timeline play through my external monitor.. Here's what I have, FCP 4.5 HD hooked up through Firewire to a JVC tape deck which in turn is hooked up through RCA cables to a small tv set. I have the following setup in FCP Audio/Video settings>Device control Preset: Firewire NTSC and Video Playback: Apple firewire NTSC. I've unplugged the Firewire cable a couple of times and still can't get the Timeline to play in my external monitor. Here's the funny part if I go to Log and Capture I can control the JVC deck and see my mini DV not only play in the Log and Capture window but also in the external monitor. I would think I won't be able to. I must be forgetting a setting in FCP to see my Timeline play in my monitor but for the life of me I can't remeber. Appreciate all sugestions!

Randy,
Many thanks. I really should not use keyboard commands that I'm not sure about.! I probably hit cmd F12 instead of just plain old F12 to do a superimpose. I'm going to start a list of all these settings I need to check. Someday I hope to be able to help someone figure out a problem. Again thanks for taking time to help me out and keeping a few more hairs on my head.

Pass through camera, looking to buy. Suggestions?

Hi,
I'm looking to streamline how I make videos. I've tried using iMovie with a Canon Vixia HF200. But couldn't get the video from the card. I maxed out my RAM to 8 GB, put in a 1TB drive and still didn't work. I did the trial of FCP and while that made importing video from the card, I'm not sold on the expense of that app just yet. (Editing in it was hard as I should have spent the $$ on a 7200 RPM drive instead of a 5400.)
The videos I'm trying to make are demos of my classical guitar performances for youtube, FB etc. The first one I did used the iSight camera with a decent mic: AKG 420. The Canon takes a nice picture but the hassle of using Handbrake and syncing audio from Garageband is just not my idea of how I can best accomplish the task for my needs. Further, the pass through allows me to have a video monitor when I'm setting the shots up by myself.
So, valued community, would you have any suggestions for a camera that might fit the

X240 - is there audio pass-through when using a miniDP to HDMI?

I have an X240, which I love, but now that I've cut my cable cord and am going with Netflix and other on-line streaming options, I'd like to be able to view my streaming programs on my TV. Can I use a cable or adapter to go from the miniDP (on the X240) to my HDMI (on my TV) and get audio as well as video? I understand my laptop needs to have an "audio pass-through" for that to work --- I don't know what it is, but I'd like to know if this one's got it. I bought the laptop online in Dec 2013, if that makes a difference.
(Yes, I could stream Netflix from a gadget like Chromecast, but that will only get me Netflix Canada, whereas using a VPN on my computer I can get Netflix from other countries too.)

refreshing this discussion! I've tried a mini DP to HDMI dongle with an HDMI-HDMI cable to the TV - and I get video but no audio. My computer recognizes the TV as present as as audio playback device, but no audio is transmitted through TV or computer. when it's plugged in. Of course I still get audio from the computer's speakers when it's not plugged in

Analog to digital, how does one actually pass through a TRV120 or TRV950E ?

I would need some technical advice on how to connect a camera with pass-through feature in between a VCR and the computer.
I am trying to copy VHS-C cassettes to the Mac via a Digital8 Sony TRV-120. I use A/V pin connector from the VCR, Firewire to the Mac. I get the VCR image on the TRV's LCD, but nothing on the Mac. iMovie says the camcorder is empty, dot. If I put a tape inside, iMovie launches the tape and I get the image from the tape. I was pretty certain that the TRV-120 had the pass-through feature, having seen it mentioned on some reviews. Is there a special manipulation to do? Or do I need the sVHS cable? (would be weird).
Otherwise, I tried the TRV950E as a converter. The only way I could make the link work through is by recording the analogue signal onto the camcorder tape. I thought it would be easier, am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Paul

In my unnEUtered Sony TRV320E Analog to DV passthrough goes like this:
1. Take the tape out of the camcorder
2. Connect the analog device's audio and video to the camcorder's minijack, use the S-Video jack for video if the output device supports S-Video
3. Put the camcorder into VTR-mode
4. Select A/V->DV out: ON, in VTR mode's menu choices
5. Disable the info display on the the camcorder by toggling its DISPLAY button
6. Put iMovie (or other DV application) to the Camera Mode
The analog image should now appear on the camcorder's screen as well as on the iMovie's screen.
Note that if you have a tape in the camcorder, you have to put the camcorder's VTR into REC mode (you may pause the tape) but this is not advisable because it produces wear to the tape.
* Note that the SCART which comes with the European nEUtered TRV320E camcorder is Out-only.
Notice that some analog to DV passthrough converters (like the TRV320E) don't work in iMovie HD 6.0.2 like they do in iMovie 4.0.1:

Analog to digital pass through

First of all I apologize if this has already been addressed. The following is what I am trying to do with my eMac computer lab at school. I am using iMovie 4 with Mac 10.2.8. I am trying to use pass through mode with iMovie and my Sony camcorder. I have the VCR going into the Sony and the Sony in VTR mode. The video shows up fine in the LCD screen of the Sony. I used a firewire cable to connect to the eMac and tried to import the video into iMovie. Nothing shows up in iMovie. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? All help is greatly appreciated.

hey there Shirley,
what model of Sony cam are you using? check the manual. try a different FW cable & w/ a different Mac. is the FW connection solid & tight? have you toggled the switch below the viewer from edit(scissors icon) to import(camera icon)? do you have control of the cam for play, stop, etc...? sorry for all the questions, but better to go through the simple & sometimes overlooked first.
someone else may have more & better thoughts. also see this:

Audio Pass-Through

In the Encoder Tab of the Inspector Window, there is a pulldown menu to the right of the "Audio Settings..." Button. There are 3 choices in this pull-down menu: Enabled, Disabled, and Pass-through.
What does the Pass-through option mean?
My system:
Dual G5 2.3GHz
4.5 GB RAM
OS 10.4.2
FCP 5.0.2
QT Pro 7.0.3
Compressor 2.0.1
massachi

Some of the transcoders allow you to pass the audio or video through without re-compressing or modifying the original state of the encoded data. That's what "Pass-through" does.
Thus, if your audio is already in the correct state (for example AAC) then pass-though will just take the original audio and add it (unmodified) to the output file.

Pass Through Chapters Title

OK, I'm begging you. I searched for this problem and found it is something that others are having problems with. The answers were unintelligible.
I have a DVD menu with Pass Through. It says Greece 2007 as it scrolls.
The iMovie that I dragged is called that so that is probably how it got it's name.
On the menu there is Play Movie and Chapters.
When you click Chapters and go to that Pass Trough sub-menu it scrolls Pass Through.
I cannot get it to say anything else.
I have changed the name Chapters on the 1st menu. That didn't do it.
I have added a text box to the chapters sub-menu, still no luck.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong, I'm not an idiot but please try and be specific on your instructions.
Thanks in advance.

Michael,
I just used this theme. When you've imported your video into iDVD and chosen the Pass Through template for you DVD presentation, go to the menu bar at the top of your screen. Choose 'Advanced' and then 'Apply Theme to Project'. That should do it. You can do the same for the Chapters page.
Hope this helps

Export H264 pass-through movie with embedded text track QuickTime Pro 7 Windows?

Using QuickTime Pro 7 for Windows, I add a text track with closed captions to my H264 .mp4 videos.
The text track works great until I try to export it. After I've added the text track, the text track is displayed as long as the track is selected to be active using the Movie Inspector track GUI.
My movies are encoded as H264 for cross-platform compatibility, and need to remain in this format. The only way to save them in QuickTimePro 7 for Windows is to Export Movie to MPEG-4. I select Pass-Through mode to retain the resolution and bandwidth parameters that I initially encoded the video with.
Unfortunately, after I export to MPEG-4, the caption track is lost. It disappears. When I open the newly exported MPEG-4 caption file, and select Movie Inspector, the caption track is missing. Inspector only shows video and audio tracks.
If QuickTime Pro 7 for Windows correctly exported my text track with the video and audio tracks, then users would be able to view the closed captions upon playback in QuickTime Player by selecting View--> Show Closed Captioning (Ctrl+Alt+T).
Anyone been able to export to MPEG-4 pass-through movie with embedded text track QuickTime Pro 7 Windows?
Thank you!

Sorry here is the code

Encoding Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC3) sound in MP4 files using AC3 pass-through

Looking for an application that will encode Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC3) sound in an .mp4 container using AC3 pass-through for playing videos with surround sound on ATV.
Handbrake is out of the question because I run Tiger. The Tiger version cannot do AC3 pass-through.
Visual Hub is no longer available.
Any other options?

You may need Apple's MPEG2 QT plugin as well for MPEGStreamclip.
Also, consider if running windows in parallels/Boot Camp etc that there's a windows version, and possibly a linux version.
VisualHub code was released open source - Google FilRedux and PunyVid (iSquint derivative). Not tried either though.

Still puzzled by RF pass through

T2100 box. The RF passthrough on/off setting does not seem to do anything. If the box is either on or in low eco standby the RF signal is passed through. If it is in high eco standby (or off) the signal is not passed through. Thisi regardless of the RF pass through setting.

That is how that box is speced to work .... it is as described in its user guide TV without Youview section on p29 of current guide.
The power consumptions and the low eco modes for the original and newer Youview boxes are different
Apparently LOW eco mode is achieved by switching off little more the the video output to the TV, unlike the HIGH mode which shuts down pretty much every function apart from those needed to complete planned recording - passthru is not needed for that so it is not enabled on that model in that mode,

Compressing Data Passed Through WebService

Hi there...
Before I start explaining the problem, I am not an expert in webservices and weblogic.
1- I am having a webservice that accepts lots of textual information and responds with lots of textual information as well. Is there an option in weblogic setting that allows data compression automatically? or should I implement data compression on the client and server?
2- also it seems that the parameters passed through the webservice get alot of XML overhead information. Is there a way to reduce the amount of overhead information passed?
Notice that SSL is being used.
3- Finally what are possible causes that could lead to slow response from the server? I am getting about 8 to 10 second average response time from the server. I don't think it is the weblogic server simply because the development environment uses local LAN and it the response is much faster. any ideas?
thanks

Not that I know of, I think you have to resort to zipping the messages.
2- also it seems that the parameters passed through the webservice get alot of XML overhead information. Is there a way to reduce the amount of overhead information passed?
A way to reduce your XML overhead is to define small messages in your WSDL (and XSD).
3- Finally what are possible causes that could lead to slow response from the server? I am getting about 8 to 10 second average response time from the server. I don't think it is the weblogic server simply because the development environment uses local LAN and it the response is much faster. any ideas?
Network overhead. As you already mentioned in the other two question you are sending large messages. Maybe your system administrator has some monitoring tool for the network
which can give you some insight in the matter.
