DVL-Digest 682 - Postings: Index Beta w/TC - FCP Case for MiniDV and DVCAM tape Firewire standards - Firenet - Premiere 6 review Beta w/TC - FCP - "Perry" Two tips to help the problem with going from Betacam to unbalanced audio: 1) A simple cable wired from an XLR to phono works 99% and is perfectly safe when used with output transformers as used in Betacams. If you were getting these made up especially, it would be a simple addition to add an attenuator pad. (2 resistors!) 2) Some Betacam machines have separate 'monitor' output connections which can be set to a lower output level. If this is an occasional exercise, it may be worth borrowing a professional type audio mixer that takes XLR balanced line level in, and has an unbalanced 'monitor' output. A little field mixer intended for ENG would be ideal.

Yeah, but getting the old shoes into the cassette cases... whew.... Sorry, Adam Wilt Firewire standards - Firenet - - Adam Wilt 1. MIRO DV300 and OHCI standard > > Does anybody know if my old Miro (Pinnacle) DV300 I used on a Windows > system (now and then having trouble with IRQ resources) is > OHCI-compliant? In and of itself, it's not OHCI compliant. You will have to check with Pinnacle to see what level of support they'll provide for it under Win2K / WinME. > It has the "old" ADAPTEC chip that is said not to be produced any longer. Adaptec certainly doesn't support it any longer. Neither DPS not Matrox (other vendors of the Adaptec 8945 card sold by Pinnacle as the DV300) support it under Windows 2000. > 2. EDIT DV (UNPLUGGED) and G4 Gigabit > > On some page concerning EDITDV, I found the information that EDITDV and > EDITDV UNPLUGGED will not work with the built-in Firewire of the latest > G4 machines ("Gigabit"). They say it only works on the earliest G4s with > a VGA graphic card, not with the "AGP" G4 and not with the "Gigabit" G4. It worked fine on my AGP G4. EditDV disables Apple's FireWire Enabler and installs its own drivers. To revert to DV capture & playback NOT using MotoDV / EditDV, go into extension manager and re-enable the disabled FireWire enablers (got that?), and disable all the "RadDV" extensions you'll find. Reboot, and MotoDV/EditDV won't work, but Premiere/FCP will. Those who work with EditDV and other apps will set up two extension sets, and toggle between them to use the D.O. Stuff, or all the other stuff. Cheers, Adam Wilt Premiere 6 review - Adam Wilt Anyone seen this? > > http://www.abcdv.com/editing/premiere6/ > > Sorry if it's old hat... That old thing?
