Decklink with Vegas 6.0b’s VidCap in PAL
Today I installed the card and all went well, BMDs capture utility captured just fine and I can open file in Vegas and all looks good except in the process I’ve lost the source TC, it’s been reset to start at 0:00:00:00.
So then I tried Vegas’s VidCap and all went well until the 25sec mark and then VidCap reports precisely 1 dropped frame per second. Dropping the resulting file onto the Vegas T/l confirms this, the audio overruns the vision by the exact number of dropped frames. This time I did get the correct source TC though.I’m not alone with this problem, another post house down here has the exact same issue and they’re using a different PC.

What deck are you using? What Decklink model & driver are you using?
-
Sony J30, basic Decklink, don’t have driver details at hand but downloaded the ‘latest’ from the BMD site. I’ll get exact drive rev later today if that’ll help. Given that two of us are having the precise same problem (other user is also using J30) and he has also loaded latest drivers from BMD it’s kind of interesting.
The only other DB deck I have is a DVW 250, I can try that if you think it might make a difference.
Oh, we also have a BetaSP deck (DVW 75?) with SDI option board, haven’t tried that as I’m trying to capture from DB. -
i’ve noticed the same! i have decklink extreme card, pvw-2800(sp) and very well comp.
a propos capture and ptt: in decklink’s console i can’t choose to get only 1ch or 2ch-s of audio or video only. in putting clip to deck (insert), console inserts just all (v+a1+a2). the same thing happends in vegas6. even vorse. if i choose ptt from timeline in insert mode, vegas inserts only video; no audio. there is no way to insert audio only, since asemble mode does all. the strangest thing is that vegas, in asemble mode puts audio trough decklink, but i can not choose decklink as an audio device in my app.
what a combination 🙂best regards to all,

Well i don’t think the decks themselves will let you record to only channel 1 or 2. You can record (I think) to channels 1 and 2 or 3 and 4, same with capture but you cannot do all 4 at once in Vegas (as yet) and you have to select the tracks in the deck.
As for capture, I now have this working in Vegas, problem was silly me was using VidCap and not Internal Capture. I haven’t tried PTT as yet, that’ll have to wait for a few days I’m afraid.
Insert edits I’m not certain about, far from 100% certain Vegas can do these reliably, even going through the SD Connect box you need to insert a certain number of frames of black to get everything to sync up. It should be capable of working IF you have the right deck, we only have a DVW 250 which being a field recorder does not support insert edits.
