"fire wire" video capture cards for mac pro

....Have Power Mac ver. 10.9.5 system Maverick w/ 4 MB RAM & am trying to locate hardware for:
acquiring "FIRE WIRE" video capture cards for mac pro.... ? Any suggestions....?(Just purchased Adobe CS 5 premium)

Your question doesn't make much sense.
What type of Mac Pro do you have? Is it the new black cylinder or the old style silver tower?
Firewire is built-in to the old models & the new Mac Pros can use Thunderbolt to Firewire converters to capture from Firewire sources.
Maybe like this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
Many older cameras used Firewire for capturing, but that has been replaced by other connection types. What are you trying to capture from?

Good capture cards for Mac?

Does anyone know of capture cards for Mac that work well for FMLE?
The list of tested cards in the Device Compatability Matrix only appear to be for Windows.
I see discussions about the Blackmagic cards, for example, that indicate those have problems in many situations.
Any tips are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sage

Thanks! And the Canopus ADVC 110 is also external via firewire, which is
even better.

What Capture Card For Analogue Footage?

I am trying to capture old footage from VCR tapes and Sony Hi-8. I have FCE 3.5.1 installed on MacBook Pro 2.4GHz. What kind of capture card would be required? Any advise?

You might want to do a search on this forum for the PYRO. I remember seeing it in a number of discussions about problems.
With a laptop, you are limited to an external analog/DV converter. The analog material is fed into it using S-VHS/RCA cables and the DV comes out via Firewire into the computer. (as you probably have figured out ...)
The Data-100 Ian mentions is one choice, the other is the ADVC line from Canopus. Personally, I've had good results with the ADVC-300. It includes a line TBC which helps with the chroma and timing issues old analog material will invariably have.
Oh, and get an external firewire drive to store the media. You do not what to be placing these large files on your system disk.
Good luck.

Blackmagic Decklink SD. Only place to find those are on eBay or other used equip sites.
There's also the AJA IO...that's REALLY good.

Laptop capture card supported by FMLE?

I looked at the supported devices that Adobe listed for 2008, does anyone know if there is an updated list around? Also, is there a firewire capture card on the market yet that will do live streaming well?

The latest list is http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashmediaencoder/FMLE_DeviceMatrix3.0.pdf
Osprey 560 card has firewire input and is also present in above list.

For video either the ATI HD 5770 or the ATI HD 5870 from Apple will work fine in your Mac Pro however you will not be able to take full advantage of the 5870 so it may be a waste. I use the 5770 with great results.
For Bluetooth I use the Belkin mini bluetooth adapter and it works great is is very small.
If you want the actual Apple Internal bluetooth card.
For the WiFi I use the original Apple WiFi cards but even a USB one thats Mac compatible will work fine.

Capture Cards fro Premiere: What is best bang for the buck

I am looking to upgrade to the new Premiere and I am having a computer built for it. I wanted to find out what would be the best solution for capture cards. I will be wanting to capture analog (S-video cable) video in larger chunks, maybe up to 30 minutes or more. But doing this through firewire in the past, the audio would get out of sinc. What capture card has the best bang for the buck to accomplish this?

The challenge of using 3rd party tools (sw and hw) to bolster PPRO is you will be forever in the game of updating drivers here and there to make sure this or that works with that or this. Then when adobe updates their sw, the game begins anew with no guarantee of anything working together.
So; the promise of faster and better comes at a price of complexity and sometimes frailty and often a very short life. Well worth it for some; nightmare for others.
Consider a simple A/D converter for acquiring analog sd video. Or a cam with analog passthr.

HDV capture card

I'm looking for a capture card that support HDV camcorders, for G5.
But it seems that doesn't exist any card: I found only HD or SD capture cards.
The only HDV capture card that is able to native editing hdv video in realtime from hdv camcorders is the canopus EDIUS NX (and canopus velxus 300 in Japan); but the problem is that canopus hdv card is only for PC.
I called canopus and they said me that these cards will be for MAC when Apple will release the new powermac intel-based.
So I read in the apple FCP 5 HD page this:
"Native HDV Support
Final Cut Pro 5 supports native long-GOP MPEG-2 editing for working with camera-original HDV video. Unlike other solutions, Final Cut Pro 5 acquires HDV media via FireWire and keeps it in the original format, transferring it into the system without any generation loss. Output via FireWire back to an HDV camera or deck, or transfer your native HDV to DVD Studio Pro 4 for an end-to-end native HDV workflow."
I know that it is not possible capture a video by firewire from a camcorder without further compressing it. I know that it is for this reason that pro use capture cards (that have dedicated processors for this).
So I think that there aren't HDV capture cards for mac because the hardware companies don't make new cards for only few months, so they're waiting the new intel-based macs. If so, this firewire technology of final cut pro 5 is a compromise for these last times, or is it really like the capture-card processing? and if so, how is it possible capturing a hdv video by firewire without further compressing it?
Do you know about a HDV card for MAC or is it really good using Final Cut Pro HD 5 with firewire ?
Thank you.

It all depends on what type of work you are doing...
Capture Cards are for use with other formats that cannot be captured via firewire: BetaSP, Digibeta, HDCAM, D5. They are also require for outputting to these formats.
Not many broadcast facilities will take a DVCAM master...some will, but most won't. And depending on your client, they may or may not take an HDV master. They may want an HDCAM or D5 master if they are producing HD content. For that you need a capture card and high speed drive RAIDS.
Why do other pricier systems come with capture cards? Because they are sold that way. FCP, out of the box, is ready to edit DV, DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO HD and HDV...FULL RESOLUTION...no compression. Any need to do higher end requires a capture card.

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...

Capture card for laptop

I'm wondering what capture cards people have gotten to work with either Mac or PC laptops and Flash media encoder. SDI + HDMI + Analog in woul be nice but any two would work.
Thanks
Philip

Black Magic Design (www.blackmagic-design.com) make a USB3 capture card that will capture SD and HDMI inputs. The other option I know of is the epiphan range of DVI framegrabbers - they have a DVI2USB option. Howver I have heard reports that the epiphans don't necessarily capture great quality but have been unable to test this myself. The epiphan devices cost about 4x the black magic devices.
If you have a very recent Mac model that has the new thunderbolt interface then Black Magic also have a thunderbolt version of the Intensity capture device. If I had money for a new laptop and a new cap device, I would be getting a MacBook Pro and thunderbolt intensity card.

Capture card

Hi,
I would like to capture my imac's screen with my macbook pro. (they both have thunderbolt connections.)
I would like to record some gameplay and stream.
What capture card would you recommend?
And what quality would be fine recording?
Specs:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
2,8 GHz Intel Core i5
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris 1536 MB
iMac (21,5-inch, Mid 2011)
2,5GHz Intel core i5
4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB
Thanks!

I know TONS about capture cards. More than most here. Pretty much all of them are designed to take a video signal out from your editing software (FCP, Avid, Adobe...etc) and output that to an HDTV or broadcast monitor...or tape deck. Either mounted in the computer (MacPro Towers...the old silver cheese graters) or connected via Thunderbolt. They don't take a feed from your desktop or games...they only work with editing software...take what you are looking at in the VIEWER and PROGRAM monitor and feed that to external monitoring...via HDMI or SDI or Component cables. They also take SDI, HDMI and Component signals from cameras or decks and capture that in the editing software
What you want to do is take the monitor signal....computer display signal...and send that to another computer so you can capture it. You need something that captures the DVI or Thunderbolt output into editing software. The issue is....there isn't a card that does that. First off, the capture cards are designed to bring in broadcast type signals...not computer ones. So frame sizes of 1920x1080 or 1280x720. Computer signals are like 1600x1200 or other odd frame sizes. No capture card captures that into editing software...as editing software captures only broadcast signals. Yes, there are a few that will work with computer frame sizes (Adobe Premiere)...but only if the files already exist. They won't capture those frame sizes via a capture card.
There is a SCAN CONVERTER type card...Matrox makes one. But what it does is convert your computer display to a broadcast signal. So it'll take a region of interest...a part of the computer display...and using broadcast frame sizes, output a signal to HDMI or SDI for capture by a deck or playback to a monitor....or streaming out of a web streaming device.
http://www.matrox.com/video/en/products/convert_dvi_plus/
I guess you would then need TWO devices...the scan converter to convert the desktop signal to a broadcast one...and then a capture card on the other computer to capture that into your editing software. Decklink.com has a lot of inexpensive capture cards for this. I suggest looking at the Ultrastudio Mini Recorder for this:
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/ultrastudiothunderbolt
I am not aware of a single capture card/device that will take the computer signal from one computer, and convert that to a broadcast signal and capture it with editing software. Now...I'm a broadcast TV editor, so my knowledge is limited to that...so there might be such hardware.

Capture card options

I recently upgraded my desktop to a 2.5ghz quad core machine with 4gigs of ram and am trying to decide on what capture card to get. I will be capturing hdv from my Sony A1 and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction of a reasonably priced quality card.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Copying files around at the file system level will not affect the quality of the contents of the files.
Cheers
