HI,

The Sony FX1 is a HDV1080I Camera not a DVC Pro HD..

Use the easy set up ( Control Q ) in Final Cut Pro and select HDV 1080i and FCP will do the rest in selecting the parameters…
That’s here to help you 😉

Hi

Do you have a decklink Video Capture carder and Tiger 10.4.3 ?

If yes, disable the desktop preview and restart your mac.

let us know.

Kushal,

do not waste your time with the PCI G5 Model !!

you might have been lucky but might not be so lucky if this G5
decides not to output your footage when you need it most….
And your manager starts chasing you around with the tether cable…

There is a reason why this is not a supported configuration.

Hi Evan,

you’ve just answered your own question!

[CapturedLive] “What machines will work with this card reliably?”
A powermac G5 with A PCI-x Interface is supported by BM and is the basic requirement.
it has been well documented on this forum and BM Website, have you done any search on any
of these web sites ?

[CapturedLive] “I keep getting the PCI-X runaround.”
It’s not a runaround simply a basic requirement period!

So look around for G5 Dual 2GHz with 8 ram slots and you’ll know they have the Pci-x
needed for the BM card to operate.

Hey Matt,

yep it all went well, i just check the online Pdf manual,
thumbs up for such clear and easy instructions to follow !
it all makes sense to me now 😉 lol…. oopps

I saw in the manual the 720 HD to 1080 HD output … interesting
Loved the little tease in the control panel HDTV Up/Down Conversion…
did i read up??

it’s all very exciting really and i didn’t really try to break it it’s built like a brick lol… which came to good use to fend off the “Amber boys” from our stand …

What i meant was that we did push the G5 Quad … man what a powerfull machine was surprised to see composite modes on a 8 bit sd clip being realtime RT capable ( rotating too a crowd pleaser hehe ).
The Decklink Extreme PciE did well too.

There is one feature which i would love the multibridge to do and not quite sure if it’s possible so i’ll ask you by personal email…

Well done guys and have a vb or two on me as it is well deserved…

[Matt Dowling] “I won’t tell Grant about the unit if you don’t (-:” ??? what unit ?? lol

we tried to break it and didn’t succeded lol.. the picture quality was as always superbe…. didn’t have the time to record thought might do that tomoorw if BM doesn’t take back the unit from me lol…
i was surprised to see how reponsive it was, while scrubbing..
very nice and neat….

no doubt it will be a popular unit.
