[Dan Deon] “I don’t believe your monitor tube is toasted. But I *do* think the power supply built into the monitor has blown a component. A good repair shop (one that knows how to work on CRT teevees) should be able to fix it.

Do you have an idea how much that would cost?

hmm… I wonder what this button does…

[Chris Brown] “Does it attempt to do a degauss at all? Does it sound like something electrical is happening”

No.. just shuts straight off and the tally light comes right on.I did turn it on once and then i had some sort of signal for like 5 seconds, then it went off again. and back to tally light.

any other ideas?

thanks

Hey Man,

We do our own closed captioning for each episode we produce.

Our Workflow is simple

Finish final timeline – Export to Quicktime (Self-Contained)
Have Intern transcribe episode using txtedit.
Close caption using Maccaption
Export Caption File (depending on output)
Render Exported timeline and caption file on mastering timeline.
Print to tape.
send to stations

and this is for a weekly SD 30 minute show. we’ve done about 100+ Masters with this workflow and its worked nicely for us ever since we implemented it.

hope that helps out.

You said you have a Panasonic switcher w/SDI,

why not just take the SDI out and feed that into a capture card, like a kona 3, or decklink HD and do a capture now as non-controllable device.

Hey David,

do you need the drivers of the logitech mouse? I would uninstall the logitech LCC, its really crap. When I called tech support for a software that I need because i had the same thing happened and it knocked out settings, they told me that its based on Application Enhancer, so it will really screw around with your settings.

You’re better off without the LCC! You dont need it anyway, it will detect it as a regular mouse without the drivers.

Good luck!

if you’re looking to convert a bunch and you said quality isnt an issue, just use mpeg streamclip and convert to whatever codec you want to edit with, easiest is probally DV-NTSC.
