“There is an anti-copy protocol inside of consumer HDMI outputs so that consumers can’t make perfect digital copies. If it was your content that was being protected from theft, I think you’d find this system far from “stupid”.”- Tim Kolb
Tim, even though I wish there were a good enough reason to agree, the reason, the results themselves, are too poor. It is my job and joy to make good shows and push them out the door. My Listenners and Watchers already empty their pockets until they ache, for an amount of shows that`s worth less than the money. That`s not so bad! I am constantly running across bad edits and reworks of my shows already electronically copyrighted so hard that the producers have done everything but whipped out their log and pissed on them. I just have to be mature enough, that old swallow and think, to know that the fans would rather have and pay for the real thing. Tim, when you try to retrieve one of your one, ten, or forty year old shows and some unknown metadata blot or codec turns it into the mouse that never ever comes out of the hole for the cheese, you`ll see that problem too. -
I thought you meant the screeners were the people in the waiting room. Neil Hurwitz`s ¨Fibre Optic Cables All Lengths¨, classifieds June 13 would be a world less expensive than 200 feet of HDMi cable.
Anyway your waiting room therefore just isn`t tacky enough unless you have an ipod playing your editing jammed between the jug and the glass of a DuMont Teleset playing the same. -
Until you come up with the real animal just aim a camera, a microphone, and a fan at your ipad.

You need a version of Y- cable on your HDMi cabling that puts regular HDMI towards your TV or similar ending and analog video and audio, or metadata- stripped HDMi towards the input of your LHi. News production companies and duplicator companies use them quite alot because they have to produce out of anything that comes in the door as well as when their own work comes returning back to them wrapped inside of a stupid electronic copyright. Something that has already happened to me.

David, I decided to get the least resourceful (that`s at least resourceful) of that unmapped snow drift between my ears so I pulled the molex plug to the hard drive of my computer, slapped a Puppy Linux CD into the optical drive and found myself ready to check your post with video and audio in a matter of minutes. (A newest edition of a Ubuntu or Fedora Org CD might do the same). I was able to download 17 seconds of your flash video then grab a few later spots before the memory sticks filled too much so here`s what I dug or dug into,
1. The audio was quite understandable and full but it would be helpful to not sound like you were talking through fan blades or into a barrel.
2. Unlike many other beginners and all too many directors with beards who (always) say that they are testing a camera (or testing everything), your video certainly does go forward.
3. In other words, if you are making a tv commercial then mostly you are sailing or rolling with the pros and can turn things into business right away but if you are making a movie or a show then I`d toss a way more sentimental story at your thirsty blinking audience.
4. If you keep the idea that it`s all business, don`t let the audio or video develop problems unto noticable distraction, and make sure the material and story don`t get thin then there will be nothing to learn or want that won`t require more time than you can hold your breath for, for maybe the next 60 years, otherwise writing and engraving sheet music or being a touch- up lithograph technician for a magazine or newspaper is an easier way to make a living in mass maedia.
5. If you`re making shows then don`t break a leg (unlike what I`m seeing, remember, 60 years) or if you are in show business, break a leg. -
Short of mailing people DVDs of your video it gets pretty lucky to find receiving computers that can wrestle the internet for demonstratable video and audio. Do you have a slide- show of pictures and typed dialog or a sound file to present what the sound is? That could be workable.

I can just see those musicians turn the page and get a first rate shock when they shake hands with the business electrode of a Cunningham CX-350 or Western Electric WE-205D tube.

“Last August, I taped an event with a single camera, and a week later made acquaintance with an individual that was at the same event with camera. Much of this persons footage was very good, so I struck a deal and set out to sync their footage with mine. This event was an indoor night time music show with many different rock bands.
In this world we live in, still camera flashes go off at any given event about every 5- 10 seconds or less.
By process of elimination one can line up the same flashes at the same point on the timeline, by matching the exact frames where the flash went off. It seems to work flawlessly in this dimly lit condition.I have this event to do again, and planning on a second camera for close-ups.”
Johnny, congratulations on inventing a new, incidental, type of midi (musical instrument digital interface) synchronization.
The first time was when the musicians for “Steamboat Willie” in 1928 had a one- watt neon light wired in series on each`s music stand and saw flashes according to previous attempts to record the audio. Without midi, the Warner Brothers producer, Ray (Rouben) Mamoulian, discovered that editing a sound picture`s track first then editing the visual film was the way to go.
You`ve turned the stiles in this case.

Seth, outputting one set of audio- video off your mixer board towards a Kona card for recording or editing, and running a same or different set of audio- video off your mixer board towards a BlackMagic Design H.264 Video Recorder or H.264 Recorder Pro for live streaming, would be a common workflow. The BlackMagic Design, and Kona cannot be in the same computer, nevermind software conflicts. If you use the output pickoffs of the Kona card to drive the BlackMagic card for streaming, you would have to be excessively careful about setting signal levels then leaving other adjustments alone. I have 2 friends who already do this. If you drop me a message on my e- mail then their answers turned into your results and failures could be your next post here. Norman Willis in Israel also does this as found in the Creative Cow Net. Gary is right.

Borrow some small test size hard drives and set up some tests. It`s worth a shot.
