Walter, where were you able to purchase your 2TB LaCie FW800 RAID for $900? Shopping around the net, it seems to be going for considerably more…

thanks-

No sir

mystery still – I even tried rotating clip 180, then again 90 degrees while in viewer before cutting into canvas to see where the cut would be, you know to sort of trick it… always the same/right side of frame when viewed normally (i.e. not whatever became the right side once rotated). So somehow this side is being flagged for cropping.
Running recently installed 5.1.2 on a dual 2ghz G5/ OSX 10.4.8 ( although I never tried this before so who knows if that makes any difference)

Bret,

Thanks for your reply & time. However, that doesn’t do it because I did try all of that before bugging the forum: once cut into the 720X480 sequence, the right frame info is gone, gone. Resetting the scale to 100% down from 112 or so it defaults to and resetting the distortion to 0 does make the pic appear ‘normal’ again. But like I said, without the right 10% or so of the frame. I noticed this immediately because i had created a lot of graphics with tight margins left/right (tilts on magazine covers, for instance) and now they dont work / are chopped off. mystery mine –

thanks

Hi Enge,

I will try, but so far this is not exactly what I am after. Does this enable you to do a ‘present movie’ like presentation where nothing but the smaller, ie not full screen but true ( in this instance DVDPro HD 720 24p) size is displayed?

Thanks for all,

peter

Yeah, you are quite right about the fragility of the connectors – I was a tad nervous popping it in the first time. As for the HD card doing SD, I believe that is SDI in/out only (digibeta), no component (beta sp) – I still get this format, as well as useful for bringing in archival screeners into an HD project: the stock houses aren’t quite up to even DVcam yet, so good old component / S video / composite inputs with balanced XLR audio is very much part of my workflow these days.
Thanks for your advice –

although you may already have planned this as part of illustrating the above content, several detailed real life workflows from location shooting to final product(s) always help bring it all home…

david,

why not indeed… works perfectly, brain dead pete says thanks for the splash in the face. All though the problem of the mask shape perplexes and will no doubt return some inopportune moment.

best regards,

peter

ah, I drew the lucky straw and the patronizing expertise of BZ. Yes, and ‘damn manual’ read. But my question was not about set up but simply about blue only & whether its monochrome function as B&W instead of blue was normal & not an indication of a problem. As mentioned, with an older PVM20M4U the blue only was in fact blue.

Thanks for your time and answer.

I just purchased one from B&H and in setting it up discover that when I push the blue only button, instead of getting a blue only color bars I get black and white. I recall reading somewhere that some monitors are set up this way… Is this normal for the PVM-14L5/1? Do yours do the same? My previous experience has always been blue only gives you blue, etc.

Also, although I read from an earlier thread that this topic has been covered, no labelling on the box or monitor that it is a PVM-14L5/1, only PVM-14L5. Made in February 2005.

One last thing – getting some very faint and fine waves in my picture. Out putting direct from a Blackmagic Decklink extreme on a Dual 2 ghz G5, component. I’ll post this last query on the Blackmagic site as well.

Thanks for any advice-

Peter Tooke
