  Multi Camera Editing with Matrox CODEC ( Matrox VS4 ) Card

  Posted by Arthur Leon on December 2, 2013 at 12:59 pm

  Hello All.

  Setup
  I am recording 4 inputs from the Matrox VS4 via Wirecast 4.2 and also tried 5.0
  – 1080i @ 100Mbps
  – All the video footage play perfectly with no problems what so ever
  – I Have installed the Matrox VFW Software Codecs of a system which DOES NOT have the VS4 card
  – I can edit 1 video with NO PROBLEM.

  Problem
  – Using Adobe Premiere 7.1 CC with multi camera editing, the footage is jittery after a few seconds.
  – Using Adobe Premiere CS 6.0 with multi camera editing, the footage is jittery after a few seconds.
  – I have tried with 2 cameras up to 4 cameras and I get the same problem.#

  Other Test
  – I have tried 12 x videos which are MP4 in multi camera editing with NO PROBLEMS!!!
  – I am using 4 x 128GB SSD in RAID 0 ( 1450 MB/s) – Through put is not an issue.
  – I have also reduced the MB/s on the ISO capture of 50MB/s

  This is the CODEC you need to have installed on your computer in order to edit the view/edit the videos recorded by the Matrox VS4:

  https://www.matrox.com/video/en/support/windows/vfw_software_codecs/dow nloads/softwares/version1.0/

  The Matrox Video for Windows (VFW) software codecs let you render and play back Matrox .avi files in your VFW programs without having Matrox video hardware installed. This version provides codecs that were previously available only on systems that have particular Matrox video hardware, such as Matrox Axio. This includes the Matrox DVCPRO HD codec, and “+ Alpha” versions of the Matrox uncompressed and MPEG-2 I-frame codecs. As well, the Matrox VFW MPEG-2 I-frame HD codec now lets you render and play back Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame .avi files in all HD formats (720p, 1440x1080i/p, and full-size 1080i/p).
  The following VFW software codecs are provided for use on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems:
  Matrox DV/DVCAM
  Matrox DVCPRO
  Matrox DVCPRO50
  Matrox DVCPRO HD
  Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame in SD and HD resolutions, with or without alpha
  Matrox Uncompressed in SD and HD resolutions, with or without alpha
  Matrox Offline HD
  Matrox M-JPEG and HDV (playback only)

  Is this an issue that is present the Premier 7.1 CC or the CODEC or even both?

  Please note, I would like to avoid trans-coding the media to something else is possible.

  Thank you all.

  Working to get somewhere, I think 🙂
