Frage von Daigoro:


The missing link between HD Camera and HD television (if the camera does not want to abuse as a VCR) is still an appropriate Abspielgeraet.

There are many media player / HDD player / network streaming player on the market, but the search is, unfortunately, I noticed that the cheap (or Ellion Freecom zb) <200 euros many format (usnatives material from HDV or AVCHD Camera) and can not play the good, expensive (Popcorn Hour or Dvico Twix) already well into the money go and is still rather inflexible (eg, either wireless or with expensive garnicht module - no optical drives, so if DVD or Blu-Ray will look you need still a 2nd device, etc.).

Luckily, both ATI NVidia synonymous as new, highly integrated Chipsaetze with "HD hardware acceleration" on the market, the price of both (a mainboard with everything you need around 50-70 euros) as synonymous of the necessary power (Blu -Ray playback, thanks to GPU acceleration <20-30% CPU utilization even on a 3GHz P4) a little off.
Brief Overview:
http://www.computerbase.de/artikel/hardware/mainboards/2008/kurztest_amd_780g_nvidia_780a/2/

After some searches and reading I have the hardware, I trust the following shipping calculator together, both as an HD / DVD / hard Player (via HDMI directly with Sound s.den 42 "TFT!) As synonymous as SchnittPC (at least sufficient for HDV ) makes a good figure.
And the best - the box will cost less than 350 Euro!

- CPU AMD Athlon 64 X2 EE 4600 + tray 40, --
As a pure player would probably synonymous an Athlon64 or Sempron LE LE enough. But thanks to AMD Socket AM2 + is synonymous stronger CPUs installed.
About moderate stroke, the mainboard (see below) is not so much her, so you should select its corresponding CPU.
About 100W TPD (like with the Athlon Quad 135W TPD) should however be careful - the better Processor Kompatibilitaetsliste check - some users reported problems of compatibility with the - a 65Watt TPD of Athlon x2 EE 3800 + and 5200 + should be well run and provide enough reserves, synonymous for the DV Editing (main focus was synonymous rather the temperature / heat dissipation and quiet operation, less the top performance).

- CPU Cooler Scythe Ninja Mini * 32, --
A bit pricey, but it is in my configuration easily and operate without a fan so that the PC will be very 'silent'.
(* Note - the Ninja * * Mini-although, so the Mini is not synonymous:) - be - the standard is too high and does not fit into the housing)

- 750 GB SAMSUNG SpinPoint F1 65, --
Super GB / euro ratio and one of the quietest hard disks, which I had previously installed. The 1TB is again something better and faster, but with over 110, - Euro, you can have 2 of the 750ern racks.
I've just installed a plate - less power consumption, less waste heat and of course cheaper.
2 partitions (one 75GB for Windows and Programs, rest for data) do's synonymous - yet I've noticed no negative effects (perhaps synonymous because the disk is really fast).

- 2x DDR2RAM 1GB DDR2-800 28, --
No-name - what it was cheapest (or Aeneon MDT) - the graphics card does not have its own memory, so you could synonymous to 3GB (2x1GB 2x512MB in dual channel bars) upgrade. The board supports up to 4GB.

- ASUS M3N78-EMH HDMI nForce 780a 55, --
There are synonymous still a very well equipped Gigabyte board with the new 780G chipset of ATI.
This has then even on-board firewire, SPDIF and a Radeon with Avivo HD graphics card on board (the Asus a GeForce 8200 with PureVideo HD).
Unfortunately, its ATI Catalyst drivers are still not under control and we must always fear that the new version will work just as well as the previous one. The last time that I join with my 9800PRO (great card, certification Drivers).
If you have a stable driver, you can be happy and so in principle I find spitze Gigabyte motherboards, but in this case I have the graphics card driver for the Asus plucked.

- DVD 16X/52X LG GDR-H20N bulk 15, --
It is synonymous for 30, - a burner or a HD-DVD Rom for 50, - or RAM for 100, -.
Since the optical drive for me, rather, an interim solution, until

Wow, an AMD PC for 350 ¬. Is something which is quite new.

Antwort von Daigoro:

Not any AMD PC, but one that the HD videos are smooth again and yet still quiet.
No Comparison to the 300, - Euro Remains recycling boxes at Aldi.

This is really so new as the 780g ATI and NVidia 8200 Chipsaetze.

(for experienced computer hobbyists who like the new Chipsaetze synonymous already old hat, but the normal videographers reads perhaps not necessarily all hardware pages and is delighted with the news)

looks like it made with AVCHD? The ever tested? I'm grad to de4r looking for a new computer and need the AVCHD can.

Antwort von Daigoro:

This is very much on the software support.

With PowerDVD8 and enabled hardware acceleration zb absolutely smooth playback. (and at very low CPU usage - my C2D creates synonymous without GPU support, but a core is fully loaded - with single-core CPUs is not much more):

But the editing programs on everything seem to balance the processor because it halt nix on processor power (and thus again a liquid stream and exiting eating device - yes, there is now even TPD 45W Athlon X2).

Perhaps a patch times since at least the preview & Effects on the GPU rendering - this would be at least enjoyable times of the cut - the hardware is there and works - very well in fact.
There are synonymous Prime plug the video data is calculated on the GPU (there's times NEN articles here on Slashcam), but in width it has - alas! - Not yet enforced.

@ Daigoro

Super report, thanks.
In relation to the NLE support, I am sure that very soon most companies the path, at the latest if they are in sufficient external hardware suppliers can be prosecuted. (Apple scheind the way now so synonymous to go).
The codec is now time for a DSP architecture .... I remember how we have now more than a year here in the forum have been discussing in detail about ... Now, it is likely so far.

It amazes me that way, not synonymous because the AMD performs significantly better, because its simply better architecture maps these requirements, but also synonymous, we have had a long talk. If the whole is now more synonymous with "Shanghai" is likely once again "goals" are set off.

What surprised me slightly synonymous Prices are .... it may, of course, what are synonymous.
If now the software manufacturers to incorporate features that the method qualitatively only really interesting and make the camera manufacturer synonymous 1920 really support, then finally synonymous to "HD-door" for the videographers to ... Great thing.
Thanks again.

I am afraid now because once again almost the worst.
Have recently read a message somewhere (Edit: Found: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/Intel-Mit-Pentium-Kernen-gegen-Nvidia-and-ATI-Update--/meldung/113739), the Intel new, for "Visual Computing" "optimized" rausbringt graphics cards on which several dozen stripped down Pentium 1 processors are s.Werk.

Thanks to its market power (synonymous in the graphics sector, thanks to on-board loesungen more than is good) could be the software support for the current, much more elegant (and especially in power-saving) solution elusive and drifting towards Intel.
Though it would be still not improved in comparison to today, but certainly price / performance is no longer comparable.

Quote: Intel, the new, for "Visual Computing" "optimized" rausbringt graphics cards on which several dozen stripped down Pentium 1 processors are s.Werk.
But they have at least the old cores into a new architecture for embedded and Main Stream video is all picturesque enough. And, as I said ... there are still synonymous AMD ... Typically, Intel is once again that a processor is not yet out, but again Larrabee 2 description ...
Clearly shows just that the graphics support on a broad area comes. And that's the really good news: ... the way of "office machines".

Antwort von Martin Dienert:

Hello,

really interesting. And I have the same synonymous with a question (s) about this. I need something with the next record in order to delve into the relationship can understand.
A few years ago (7 .. 10) I was synonymous with this issue and I failed. The aim was to video files on a tube TV to view. I have an ATI All in Wonder graphics card purchased synonymous with the analog TV recordings should be possible (it has never really worked). Did you have a Television s.diese card, the monitor image to 800x600 pixels with 50 Hz changed. The Windows desktop is now on the monitor and the television display. If you are a video screen that was playing at 800x600 pixels scaled, deinterlaced and displayed on the desktop. For the television screen, the content can then be divided into FBAS changed. Accordingly, the picture was cruel. It was not possible directly in the video FBAS to convert (as is done eg DVD player).

So now the question:
How is it in your device? If I had read it correctly, the video output so synonymous on the graphics card (NVidia and ATI of the speech). If the desktop content displayed on the television or the video is displayed? Who deinterlaced and scaled the video, the video of Software on the PC to the television or is preparing the video in its original form on TV over there and adapted? If a multiple format conversion (resolution ...) excluded?
Or is it the television (is digital) replaced the monitor and it is as if you videos on your monitor?
If the quality with a specially designed device (eg DVD player) are comparable? (Why I ask? See above.)

With the old problems and problems of a computer image on a PAL television to bring did not have much in common. :)

The HD Television operates virtually as a computer monitor in FullHD (however, the picture is not from moderately computer monitor - which usually have rather weak contrast and brightness for your eyes saving hours of work, but just like an LCD Television).
Full Resolutionsowohl with the graphics settings (1920x1080 50p) as synonymous with the Television.
I go over HDMI (1.3 on both sides and as I said, in 8200 with the same sound to Dolby 5.1), since the 'VGA' connector of the TV only supports up to 1280x1024 and the picture represents either distorted or not at full size.

One sees first the desktop (unless you use a special media or Linux as a multimedia interface of the Vista or the freeware Media Portal).
Normal under Windows, the first films to start, because of how Windows knows and of course, depends on the player.

The scale and post-processing (eg de-interlace HDV 50i of material) is on the software player on what works fairly well and thanks to GPU support with very low CPU usage happens.
I have no PS3 or a good DVD player with upscaling to improve the quality now to be able to compare, but it is in any case for SD to HD Television film quite well (both DVD as synonymous my old SD video recordings, which I finally in nem better than MPG2 codec 8Mbit / s can play).
Could synonymous beyond a cheap media player with upscaling (of Freecom or Medion or as synonymous hot) are located.

Really brilliant, it is of course only with HD material on HD Television for the device is actually intended.
Because you can directly gecapturten movies and it looks at least as good if not better than of the camera via HDMI.

Antwort von Martin Dienert:

Thank you for fairly detailed answer.
The television replaced the monitor and then the rest of the software on the PC-dependent. The course opens up possibilities without end.

Man could, for example, the scaling an SD TV image so as to make it fit for themselves and is not limited to the capabilities of the television dependent. Slowly things are interesting. ;-)
