DVL-Digest 1150 - Postings: Index Getting into the business IBM drives The Dub Connector (Y/C 688) - (2) - (3) VO vs. ADR - (2) Why won't Adobe FIX Premiere??? Getting into the business - Jon Burkhart All very good advice, George. I would only add: Don't spend large amounts of money just yet. You need to learn from watching the work of others, reading books and making your own mistakes. After a few years, if editing is truly your great passion, you'll find a way.

I was also a big supporter of IBM drives, but the 75 Gig has cost IBM many, many friends. I have several other size IBM drives that have given outstanding performance. But the 75 Gig I had, made in Hungary, bit the dust. IBM replaced it promptly with another 75 Gig also made in Hungary. I have had no further problem. This is certainly not the first manufacturer to run into a bad batch of drives nor will it be the last. I too, just got a Maxtor 80 Gig that seems to perform well.

Some TBCs use it to capture the chroma info in a more pristine state than composite allows. My I.DEN IVT-9PLUS will use it if available, although it still pulls luma from the composite feed. However I've never had a 3/4" with the dub connector available, and my 3/4" originalted material has looked fine. > Can you see the difference in the DVCAM world? In a side-by-side, possibly. Otherwise? Probably not. A good TBC without a 688 input should still make a very nice image from good 3/4" source. > Also, do any TBC's have a Y/C 688 output? Not that I've seen, though I could easily be wrong. If available it would probably be on an older TBC. There ain't much call these days for making dubs TO 3/4", after all... > I would assume that if coming in > via the dub connectors is the way to go then you would want to use that > signal path for Umatic dubs from DVCAM--yes? In theory it would give a better signal -- assuming the Y/C separation in the TBC is cleaner than that of the deck. But as the heterodyning on the way in tends to be a stable process (it's on the way out that most of the possible distortions can occur -- unless I'm mistaken again) I'd not expect to see that much of a difference. Cheers, AJW [Any bizarre line breaks courtesy of OS X's Mail.app. Think Different!] The Dub Connector (Y/C 688) - "Perry Mitchell" Robert Maybe we should have you look at it from the original (Sony) perspective. U-Matics are 'color-under' machines, like VHS, where the original color subcarrier is transformed (heterodyned) to a new frequency that is easier to record. This process is not transparent and so it is best to avoid any more transforms than are necessary. The 'dub' connector was thus envisaged as a way of copying tapes to another U-Matic without needing an extra transform, and the resultant signal is cleaner. If you are going to go back to composite or Y/C then you have to transform somewhere, and it is a question then of whether the U-Matic or an external device has the best processor, although there are also drop-out considerations as have been mentioned. Some of the better U-Matic machines had a dedicated 'TBC' multiway connector, although the last machines had provision for an internal TBC board. One of these sported a noise reduction technique based upon a 'Hadamard' transform, and to this day I've never found anybody who could tell me exactly what it is or did! I'm sure Adam knows but I suspect we wouldn't want to know the answer!

My eyes are already starting to glaze over ;^) Aloha, Jon Burkhart VO vs. ADR - Jon Burkhart "Bruce A.

I just did on one of my last projects. . .that is: add VO at the last minute AND go nuts. We were doing the project in English but, for our host, English was his third language. When it came time to do the VO it became apparent that there were going to be problems understanding his pronunciation of words. Also his intonation and cadence contributed to the problem. No, we couldn't go out and get new talent. There were many reasons he had to be the host. He had no experience in television other than being a guest on TV. He was really a very charming guy, but making some words understandable were a REAL challenge. The video turned out well, but I was thankful for all those 35 hours of speech I took at the University of Texas. > > Again, that's the way *I* do it...feel free to do it any way you want. > And BTW, Jon, the Elura is the perfect tool for remote ADR. What do you mean REMOTE? When doing Voice Overs I have to use it just to get out of the edit bay because there's so much fan noise from the computer. Aloha, Jon Burkhart VO vs. ADR - "Valerie Shoaps" Hi Bruce, I owe you a cup of coffee. I guess I read into things a bit too far and made some assumptions. I've had a bad experience with Canopus (I'm in the 2%, and a long story) and haven't been able to use it hardly at all, which probably tinted my views. I've had just a little linear editing experience (Sony FXE-120), but it was enough to help me really appreciate what NLEs can do. OK, it's way past the time for me to shut up on this thread. Valerie Why won't Adobe FIX Premiere??? - Jon Burkhart Right On, Charles. "Kontent is STILL KING!"
