Scientific slomo isn't for the faint of heart. Avid XDV tips - Jon Burkhart Not to start a platform war or anything. . .but wake me when it takes fewer key strokes to edit than it takes with Storm Edit. Until then, I'll take a little nap.

The monitor I use for reviewing tapes - a Sony PVM14-M4U - does a great job of showing details I'm interested in - particularly small text - but it isn't large enough for group viewing. Are there larger (at least 27") NTSC monitors that do a good job of showing small details in DV sources but won't break the bank? I don't need absolute color fidelity or lots of controls, but minimal overscan and a Y/C input are essential. The Sony PVM2950Q "cube" at around US sounded like a good bet, but it's apparently no longer made. Are monitors like the Panasonic CT-2788YD, which supposedly have 550 lines of horizontal resolution and sell for less than US, worth considering? Thanks!

DSR-11 Recording Levels: Preset or AGC? - Adam Wilt > So, how do you setup your mixer so that 0vu corrsponds with the best level > to center on (say -12db)? Most DV and low-end DVCAM decks are set to level at -12dBfs when fed tone at 0dB from an analog board running at the consumer (-10dB) levels. If your mixer is set to -10dB levels (usually if you take the output from the RCA connectors, it's at -10dB levels), you should be OK. You can always set up the DSR-11 in E-E live transcoding mode, hook the 1394 to FCP, and watch the levels in the log & capture window. > Also, what is "unity-gain"? Unity gain is the gain setting of a device such that the input is neither boosted not cut as it is passed through the device. Many mixers, input pots on VTRs, etc. will have a small line or a detent for a rotary control when the input is set to unity. For example, when I've got tone running through the WJ-MX50 such that its level meters are hitting 0db, and I connect it to the DHR-1000 with its input level pot set at its center detent, the DHR's level meters read -12dBfs.

Yes, it seems to be the case! I wonder if iDVD will do 16:9? If so, I'd rather spend the money on an iMac. :) Edition - "Perry Mitchell" From: Adam Wilt And you NEVER have to hit Option+R to render ANYTHING -- heeding Crayne's Law ("All computers wait at the same speed") the FAST folk (like the iMovie mob) made their computers WORK for a living by using spare CPU cycles to do automatically what needs to be done sooner or later anyway. That is progress. Fast file transfers - "Perry Mitchell" From: Francis Shepherd The fastest way to transfer large files between two Macs with Firewire ports is to use Target Disk Mode. I can transfer 2GB files in minutes. It is also very useful for rescuing data off a hard drive or for cloning hard drives to multiple computers. For ethernet connections, using a crossover cable between two machines is relatively fast especially with gigabit cards. Need to bump DVCPro to miniDV - "Perry Mitchell" From: Bill P Most of the newer Sony DSR decks, such as the DSR1500, 1600, 1800, etc., will play DVCPRO tapes, though the people who have the decks may not know that. If you can find somebody who has one with the firewire card, you should be able to get it done easily.

Amongst other differences from the DSR-11, the 25/45 both offer manual audio control and metering. As you guys say - worth checking out! http://www.sonynab.com/product.asp?Prodid=107 http://www.sonynab.com/product.asp?Prodid=111 Perry Mitchell (diese posts stammen von der DV-L Mailingliste - THX to Adam Wilt and Perry Mitchell :-) [up] |
