Using External Monitor via datavideo DAC-200

Posted by Pglaouto on July 2, 2007 at 3:17 am

Hi,

I’ve recently upgraded to PremierePro 2 from Premiere 6.
That and a new PC + os has meant replacing a Pinnacle Card
+ breakout box that came with Premiere 6 for a Digi Video
Converter, the DAC-200.

I can capture VCRs using the analogue part of the new box and
the capture is viewable on my attached TV monitor as I capture.
So clearly, the computer and PremierePro are talking to each other
and the new box and the monitor.

What I haven’t worked out is how to make video visible on the
external monitor when I’m playing back from the timeline within PPro.

I’m guessing there’s a setting within PPro, but I can’t find it.

Thanks to anyone who might have an opinion.

Cheers

Philip

I’m assuming you are doing a DV capture, so the next line should be obvious. Use firewire out of the computer to the DAC, and use analogue to the monitor.

Make sure you enable DV output in the preview window. Look at that little arrow on the top right of the preview window and explore from there.

we had a Datavideo unit and its performance with Premiere was flaky at best. The best luck has been with Canopus units.

One thing I learned recently, to get better performance out of this type of device, is to disable IEEE-1394 networking in the windows control panel. Apparently Bill Gates thought everyone would use firewire instead ethernet, but you do not need that feature. My Canopus ADVC-110 works better as a result. Try it with your problem.

Hi Mike,

We are the Australian distributors for Datavideo and one of our dealers spotted your comment in this forum. There is no problem using a DAC-200 with Premiere – all you need to do is check your Premiere Playback Audio and Export to Tape functions are set up properly in your NLE software.

The Premiere manual is available at Datavideo_AdobePremierePro2_SetupProcedure.pdf – 1.5MB PDF:

And here are the page links to fix your Premiere audio / video dropout problems:

* Playback Audio is not transmitted out the Device (Page 2)
* Export to Tape function error (Page 4)

Mike, the President of Datavideo has also heard about your problem and wanted to know if you needed help setting the Mode Dip Switch on the DAC-200. Feel free to email us at support@gdbint.com.au if you need tech support for your DAC-200 or if you have any other technical questions.

Kind regards,
