  • BlackMagic Decklink SP and Vegas / Component capture

    Posted by Paulo Viana on January 22, 2007 at 5:54 pm

    Hi,

    I bought a Decklink SP to capture betacam (Sony PVW-2800 / via component). I heard that Vegas software doens’t allow capture component from BMD. Is it true? Because I’m heaving problems to configure the BMD to capture.

    Thanks,
    Paulo

    yes it is unfortunately, and there is no hope.
    i am using j-30sdi for capturing even betacam sp.
    sony says that analog(component) ptt isn’t possible but i do it on daily basis with no problems (pvw-2800p).
    if i have to capture from pvw-2800p, i have to do it trough decklink’s deck control and blackmagic codec.

    regards,
    gordan

    X_gogoa,

    When you use SDI to capture videos via blackmagic, can you control PVW-2800 using Vegas Capture or you have to do it manually?

    when i capture from pvw-2800 i have to (and you too) use decklink’s deck control app ‘couse vegas can not capture analog source via decklink extreme card. deck control only captures in qt with blackmagic’s codec which can be used in vegas.
    i would really like to see vegas update with analog possibilitiy or deck control capture in avi with bmd or sony yuv codec or qt bmd codec optimised for multicore of multiprcessor platform.

    regards,
    gordan
