  • capture the dvi out on macbook pro to FCP Via Canopus?

    Posted by Jordan Laws on May 22, 2008 at 5:58 am

    is it possible to capture the dvi out of a macbook pro via canopus? I have the adapter to go composite or s video in but it looks jittery and small on the FCP capture window. I know this is an odd method of doing capturing but its for this new VJ software I am experimenting with. Any help would be apperciated. ALso if there is a work around to capture a 2nd screen via full that would also work fine as well..

    I suggest you to use screen capture tools like iShowU or Snapz Pro. You can record what you are doing in a movie file.

    You can use the Matrox MXO to output the desktop to SDI, Component, Composite or S-video. It connects to the DVI port of the MacBook Pro and is seen as a monitor by the computer.
    So anything you put on that MXO monitor is output to the above mentioned video outputs.
    There’s also an ‘anti-flicker’ filter which will remove that jittery problem you make reference too.
    As well there’s a region of interest option which will allow you to select a specific region of the screen and have only that region output.

    You can check it out here: https://www.matrox.com/video/en/products/mxo/

    cheers,
