Targa Video Codec Video compositing-lite program for Mac DVC Pro Pal and FCP INFO copy - "Perry" Didier: As I understand it there is currently no support for the DVCPRO PAL codec on the Mac. Matrox support it on their RT2000 and RT2500 boards but not on the RTMac equivalent. Other PC solutions include Fast Purple, and Canopus DVCPRO Raptor. You can of course use SDI or even analogue components, but then you need a faster disk system to record what amounts to full 4:2:2 video. You are correct that a suitable QT codec from Apple would solve the problem but the very small potential numbers of users makes this unlikely. The serial interface for RS-422 is no problem since you can also do this with a USB converter.

The DSR2000 has -- sheesh, I forget, but it's basically a separate head for every read/record mode. Perry, do you remember?< I believe it is 14 heads! (7 pairs) The point being that although azimuth works to a degree, for the very best results you need to have a head pair of the correct width. For non-standard play speed (e.g. slo-mo) it is advantageous to have more than one head reading at once. The DSR-2000 is extreme because it also does pre-read editing, where the drum reads and writes to the same track.

Composite video to component video. 2. Component video to composite video. 3. S-Video video to component video. Can someone give me advice where I can find its? Thanks in advance!< Assuming you are PAL, you basically need a PAL encoder/decoder with the appropriate interfaces and connectors. You should be aware that digging high quality component video from a PAL composite video source is a difficult job and a decoder will be expensive if you want good results. The best ones use an 8 field store. If you are using NTSC it is rather easier, but you need to look for a digital comb filter on the decoder. I just did a quick Internet search for 'PAL decoder' and there were dozens of hits on different products.

It'll now be buried somewhere in the Pinnacle site, if you have any trouble send me a private e-mail and I'll dig a copy out for you.

I know Commotion does it, but that seems like overkill. It's something that will be used by coaches in our Physical Education department. >> Digital Origin RotoDV did this, but I'm not sure it is still sold since Media100 bought them. It was being given away with EditDV quite recently so a user of that application may have a spare copy.
