  *NEW* VTR Xchange 3.0 now available

  Posted by Aja Sales department on December 6, 2006 at 8:56 pm

  Hello,

  Available immediately at the support section of our website is version 3.0 of VTR Xchange, for the KONA and Io product families. New Features are:

  – Universal Binary support: Universal Binary is Apple’s designation for a release that works with either PowerPC computers or the newer Intel computers.

  – Capture and Record frame calibration settings now have sub-frame precision. The settings actually control the relative video frame, and phase within that frame, that movie capture or playback begins. However, in most applications full integers such as +1, +2, -1, etc. will prove to be accurate. If you have been using a previous version of VTR Xchange, you will likely need to determine new calibration numbers.

  Note: The AJA Io products do not support sub-frame calibration. To emphasize the fact that the Io does not support sub-frame precision for record and capture calibration, the calibration sliders stop only on integral frames when no Kona is present. If you have both a Kona and an Io installed, the calibration sliders will stop on sub-frames but when capturing/recording to an Io, the fractional part of the calibration setting is ignored.

  – Added single frame “grab” and “grab now” functions. New buttons in the interface support grabbing Photo-JPEG, TGA and TIFF files. (See VTR Xchange Manual for more details under the “Frame Grabbing” heading.)

  – Added support for assigning RP-188 timecode values to captured clips. This function works if RP-188 is present for an HD-SDI signal (See VTR Xchange Manual for more details under the “Preferences” heading.) Additional details on changes to controlled and non-controlled captures follow:

  1. Reel name
  All captured movies, including reference movies, whether captured

  Can anyone help explain to me if this applies to the Kona Lhe Card on a Mac Pro? What is it in general…

  I’s confuse-ed..

  If you do not use or have FCP, but need the Lhe to monitor, say, from an application like after effects, this app will help you capture elements from tape.

  So it is essentially a standalone loading tool? Thanks!
