DVL-Digest 946 - Postings: Index EVENT VIEWER WARNING PLEASE HELP Mounting a DV camera on a plane? PAL or NTSC for transfer to film? Shooting in black and white EVENT VIEWER WARNING PLEASE HELP - Adam Wilt I just upgraded my NT box from a 600Mhz PIII to an > 850e PIII and from 256MB to 1GB SDRAM. System only > sees 512MB. Did I forget a jumper setting or is there > a SW tweak somewhere? Check your BIOS for memory autosizing support, and toggle the setting. Some older mobos will show exactly half the installed memory when a lot is installed and this setting is in the wrong state. OTOH I had a similar problem with my Supermicro P6DBE (also with a DigiSuite DTV, BTW) when I put in two 512MB DIMMS. Changing the setting didn't fix the problem but my supplier when informed of my travails, promptly swapped the DIMMS for four 256MB modules, and now my system is happy. > Will it see entire 1024MB when I add the second CPU? That shouldn't make any difference. > Warning from (\Device\Hw_Mon): CPU0 Vrm Volts is out of range 0.2 > What does this mean exactly? Sounds like one of the voltages is out of spec. > Is this something to worry about? A bad voltage regulator? I'd worry about it. Your mobo may have pots to tweak, or you many need to replace a regulator. Or it might just be simpler to swap out the mobo. > I suspect that maybe this could be responsible for some crashing > which I have been attributing to Premiere. It's quite possible. Cheers, AJW Mounting a DV camera on a plane? - "Perry" From: Chiappini We've just gone through the process of externally mounting a digital still camera to a plane. I had someone fabricate a simple aluminum box to house the camera. Initially the pictures were blurry and we mounted some high frequency motion dampeners to the box. This helped. I don't know where the dampeners came from, but "Barry Mount" is printed on the side of them. I'd try to find some way to make sure the camera is incased in foam padding or something -- even then I don't think the delicate DV tape mechanism would survive for long. We've been through a few cables that were damaged due to vibration. PAL or NTSC for transfer to film? - Adam Wilt At the last DV Expo, Adam Wilt did a great workshop on this topic for > Video folks, while I did the reverse -- a workshop for film folks on > video. Adam -- don't recall the schedule, are you doing a similar > workshop this year? Yep. And that sparks an idea: I should shoot some XL1 footage with and without Frame Movie Mode, and illustrate motivated moves and unmotivated moves. Thanks! Cheers, Adam Wilt Shooting in black and white - Adam Wilt If you shoot in color and then desaturate it in post, will it match a > shot that you shoot in black in white? More or less. You may want to try shooting through different colored filters (like red, green, or yellow; or filter in post before removing chroma) to change the tonal balance of the scene. Not all older B&W film stocks were panchromatic; some were orthochromatic, typically with a higher sensitivity to green than to other wavelengths. And B&W footage exposed through saturated color filters subtly distorts expected tonal values, giving the scene an eerie quality. I've done this on film with a deep red filter, giving me unusually dark skies and unusually pale skin. It worked quite nicely.
