(old foggies pranks, etc) - (2) Storage acquire using RS232 - "Perry Mitchell" From: Michele Bruzzo Do you Know how to connect a digital camera and a computer by means of a RS232 port? DV Time Code & Blacking Tapes - "Perry Mitchell" From: Nick Schlott As far as going from computer stored DV *back* to a deck in a frame-accurate way: if you want to do an insert or assemble to a DV deck, then the deck must be frame-accurate. Many con- and prosumer decks/cameras are not, but I'll leave it to others to clarify which ones are which. DV Time Code & Blacking Tapes - "Perry Mitchell" From: Rolf Howarth Continuous timecode is just as vital to prosumers and casual users as it is to professionals, assuming they ever want to capture their tapes to computer and do even the most rudimentary editing. It never ceases to amaze me that camera manufacturers allowed this situation to arise in the first place. End Search helps, but it would be trivial to add a feature that treats a tape as unrecordable unless the camera successfully jam synced with the previous timecode or the user explicitly resets the timecode. PAL and NTSC question - "Perry Mitchell" From: CPJ_II (Charles) In reality both NTSC and PAL, as originally developed/implemented 'standards' for color TV, are now near-obsolete except for lingering composite/analog broadcasting and older TV sets. PAL and NTSC question - "Perry Mitchell" From: M.T.Davis Thanks Perry and Charles...I'm sure the question was "categorically" wrongheaded in some way, but thanks for the technical details. Because there are some international students who occasionally want to capture PAL video, I am somewhat interested in what I might need to add, in equipment terms, to make this possible. Any recommendations of specific devices, products, etc.. is appreciated! PAL and NTSC question - "Perry Mitchell" From: CPJ_II [mailto:charles.pope2@sympatico.ca] Perry Mitchell wrote: > > These days most computer based video equipment and applications are dual > standard, although marketing tricks have sometimes limited US sold products > to 'NTSC' functionality.

This is correct, and even the DSR-11 (IINM) doesn't do conversions -- it simply has the ability to play/record both standards. My Avid Xpress can be configured for PAL or NTSC, but it too doesn't do conversions. Shoot in B&W? (old foggies pranks, etc) - "Perry Mitchell" From: Randy Quimpo How old do you have to be to have heard that one, Jeff? Over here, we used to send the new guy over to get us a box of color bars. Later, when all the professors warned their students not to fall for this, we started sending them over to Engineering to pick up a black burst... Randy Quimpo Shoot in B&W? (old foggies pranks, etc) - "Perry Mitchell" From: Randy Quimpo Nailing a lunch box onto a bench! Gad, what will we do without all these bits of wisdom from the DVlist? Thanks a lot, Perry, for this neat trick. Storage - "Perry Mitchell" From: Mark Burgess has anyone got any rough indications as to how much storage is required when starting to play around with digital video. I was considering looking at 2 x 80Gb Seagates using the built in striping in Win2K. Is this overkill or not enough? I would be using tapes up to 120 mins..
