Using CineCap in a HD environment- first test

[tonewheels]

Thanks Awand, that's good to know. I'm looking at the intensity pro which has analog inputs. If the decklink works then I would have thought that the intensity should work also.

Not really related to HD either :oops: but I searched for cinecap and decklink and found this old thread which had a cliffhanger ending

Thanks again.

Why are these cards necessary? Can't you send the HD via firewire. I know that with the HVX200 you can connect an external harddrive to the camera via firewire and record to that. So sending to the computers Harddrives should be no different. Is this an HDV issue?

Has anyone been experimenting with this with Mac's. FCP is how you get the DVCpro HD codecs, so would capture mate be able to use those HD video streams.

I may have to stripe a couple externals HD's together and try this on my Macbook pro when I have some downtime.

If anyone has any further experience that would be great.

you can send dvcpro hd via wirefire fine and if you have a kona box you can send prores, but now we're talking hdv, which while you can certainly send it via firewire is intraframe encoded and thus can't be used for stop motion capture.

I know that with the HVX200

that's dvcpro hd, but you can connect hdv to firestores too. it's a workprinter issue since it needs to use stop motion capturing.

also, using the hdmi or component output bypasses compression altogether so you get better results.

Hi

I will change my computer soon with a PCIe port.
I would like to know if Cinecap works with the BlackMagic HDMI card and use the DVC PRO HD, JPEG codec.

Also I think that avi uncompressed 720x576 or HDV 1080i are the same bitrate, no?

Thank you.

Also, I have a FX7 camera.

Hi

A question for super 8 users...
I would hope to know if cinecap accept the BlackMagic HDMI Card
and if the HD, full resolution JPEG codec, Cineform are possible with the workprinter xp.

Thank you

[mattias]

as far as i know cinecap accepts any card as long as you have the correct drivers installed. in fact cinecap has no idea what card it's talking to, since it talks to the driver.

Now I have blackmagic card
the codecs are OK
The "media Express" work
In Cinecap, I have Decklink Video Capture.
Compression codecs :
- Decklink Mjepg compressor
- BlackMagix 8,10,16 bits
-...

So the capture on Cinecap don't work why? how make?
(the preview is black)

I found, the quality is very good .
I select the HD 1080 24PsF 8bits 4/2/2 for the capture
and Mjepg 8 bits or uncompressed .
but I don't understand why the first or the final file is 24 bits for the Mjpeg or 16 bits uncompressed file ?
Can you say me?

Thank you
