August 16, 2012 at 3:37 pm in reply to: Recommendation for Video card / device / computer for High Quality StreamHi Matt,
the H264 recorder won’t help you with that because it is the same device that already sits inside your Atem TVS. The TVS has the H264 recorder built in.
Interesting to hear that the procaster recognizes the TVS at all, because the encoding is done inside the TVS (it outputs a H264 stream over USB2). I think the Procaster software reencodes the H264 stream coming from the TVS with another bitrate / resolution. That should result in a degraded image because you add two steps of compression where you only need one.
The solution could be to get a supported SDI card for a PC or a Desktop Mac. If you take a look at the livestream.com site you will find several cards that are certified by livestream.com.
But you could also use a cheap BMD Decklink SDI card. Make sure to get a decent PC or Mac that can handle the HD encoding. That eats a lot of CPU power and you need a recent system for that. Then run SDI from TVS to SDI In of the card and do the compression inside the PC/Mac.
You could also try out some different settings of the H264 encoder inside the TVS. For a full HD stream you should use at least 3-5MBit to make it look OK. Set the TVS to that rate and use the same parameters inside the Procaster. Maybe the Procaster won’t reencode if it is the same format.
Otherwise set the encoding rate on the TVS as high as you can (20MBit in TVS control software – 30MBit with MXLight) and reencode it with the desired settings inside Procaster. But there is a little “bug” in the H264 recorder: It discards every second line and does some weird deinterlacing with that. BMD knows about this fact but there has been no solution to this. So you will lose resolution if you use the USB2 output no matter what you do.
Cheers
Andreas

August 1, 2012 at 6:26 am in reply to: Creating files for HyperDeck Studio in Premiere ProIt depends on your local TV-system and the framerate.
In PAL land select DNxHD185 10Bit (1080i50 or 720p50).
In NTSC land it should be DNxHD225 (1080i60 or 720p60).
Works for me (in PAL).
Cheers

Hi Phillip,
yes that works as you described.
You will get audio embedded in both – the SDI stream and the HDMI output. Regarding the Extreme – Audio should be there. We connected a Hyperdeck to the ATVS via HDMI and it received audio without problems. The same should be the case if you connect it to the Intensity Extreme allthough I’ve not tested this specific setup.
Cheers

July 17, 2012 at 9:07 am in reply to: Format Hyperdeck Shuttle 2 to record Dnx filesYes Joshua,
thanks for the correction. I thought he was refering to Hyperdeck Studio. The Shuttle 2 has no ProRes that is correct.
Cheers

July 16, 2012 at 4:41 pm in reply to: Format Hyperdeck Shuttle 2 to record Dnx filesDownload the Hyperdeck Utility from the BMD Homepage. Install it on a PC or Mac. Connect the Hyperdeck via USB2 and start the utility. Then you can change to DNxHD, ProRes or Uncompressed. And you can change some Timecode settings of your Hyperdeck.
EDIT:
OOps – Juan was fatsre 😉Regards

I can confirm this.
Since 9.5.3 I have massive problems with CS6.
Especially with AVC Intra footage.Regards

You should use the Behringer DEQ2496 for the TVS anyway because it offers a internal Delay that you need to maintain audio/video sync.

June 30, 2012 at 12:20 pm in reply to: Avid MC6 and Hyper Shuttle DNxHD 185 problemMake sure to copy all files from your hyperdeck SSD to the mxf media folder of you Avid system. Then go to the Avid mediabrowser and import the files into a bin. You can simply drag them into a bin.
Make sure that the hyperdeck is set to dnxhd mxf file creation.

You could do this if you get the 4:3 signal as a pillarbox 16:9 signal. Then you could use an upstream key to remove the bars and place a logo there. You can’t do this inside TVS because there is currently no way of resizing or squeezing an input inside the TVS.
Have in mind that the multiview is currently not capable of displaying an SD 16:9 signal. It will show a squeezed 4:3 pillar box picture instead.
