DVL-Digest 655 - Postings: Index "Free" ColorBars for Memory St New G4 etc. Sound bit rate on VX1000 "Free" ColorBars for Memory St - Adam Wilt Did not get much of a response from my last post asking for help with my > colorbar project.... Sadly, some us have to go to work and earn money some of the time. :-) Also, some us are not yet blessed with PD15s or VX2000s, so can be of little practical help in such a test. I did have a look at the bars, and they look OK assuming that the scale factor used by the stills/memory section of those cams puts black at 16 and white at 235, instead of 0 and 255. Cheers, Adam Wilt New G4 etc. - Adam Wilt When playing out to y/c or composite (not DV) through a brand new ATI XCL > AIM3D plus card (xclaim-tv) using Final Cut Pro "printo to video", I am > experiencing a 'staggered' picture on my interlaced PAL monitor. As you don't say what a "staggered picture" is or what it looks like, it's kinda hard to tell... > I have just purchased a new G4 system and it has loads of extensions and > cp's that maybe I won't ever use. Some I have not seen before. The G4 > performance is good.... [I have a reduced extension set for use with VVS > Telecast and I was wondering] So is there any need to do this for DV on > the G4? Not that I've found. For my recent QT 5 testing [http://www.adamwilt.com/pix-AppleDV.html] I just took the borrowed G4/500DP out of the box, threw FCP on it, and went to work. Same with my G4/450. Yes, you can remove the personal web server and such stuff if you want to fine-tune, but the G4s are plenty fast for DV. It's more important to keep your windows from overlapping, turn AppleTalk off, that sort of thing (the usual Mac-for-video optimizations). And to have a separate video drive. But I'm not even doing that on the G4s, and the worst thing that I've run across is that I'll drop a couple of frames in the first second of capture, presumably while the head seeks, which I get around by adding a 1 second handle. Cheers, Adam Wilt Sound bit rate on VX1000 - Adam Wilt At the school we have 2 VX1000s and I haven't been able to find if they > capture sound in 2 channels at 16bits, 48kHz or 4 channels, 12bits 32kHz. Original recordings on the VX1000 are always 12 bit, 32 kHz. It can record firewire transfers at any rate, of course, and play back any rate, but the A/Ds are set at 32 kHz.
