    Is the image blurry in the viewfinder, the LCD and the recording? Or just 1 of those?

    I believe USB to HDMI cables are only for output and your Inogeni is what you want to convert video signal to a datastream your encoder will recognize. I use the Blackmagic miniRecorders for the same purpose. Make sure using USB3 if doing over 1080 resolution. Not a fan of using client PC. Just make sure it’s fast, all background software if off and no screensavers. Also suggest doing location speed tests (and actual video tests) to confirm you have a dedicated (unshared with anyone else) 1.5-2Mbps for HD, 5Mbps uplink for 4K. Become friends with their (or venue) IT people. Use high quality cables everywhere – HDMI, USB, ethernet – and take backups; and backups to backups is a good idea.

    Have fun!

  • Common on the EX1. We either pull down the red midtones in post or set up a picture profile to reduce the reds. Obviously the guy’s jacket on the right should not be that brown and more towards grey.

    Ya know, Todd, it may be a little inexpensive thing, but they gave you a memorable experience. We need to all do this when we think about how we treat our clients and customers. The playing field is pretty level with most of our tools being marketed (and accessible) directly to our clients anymore. (Thinking about live streaming services in particular today—not only marketed to me, but my customers as well.) The only differentiator is how we handle our customers and the experience we give them.

    Haven’t done that in a long time! I believe my “best practices” would be to play that VHS tape out of a quality S – VHS player, using S video input, to a decent capture card. Then you could use Photoshop to Deinterlace the footage, then use an application called UpRez. ( or something along those lines). 8 x 10 is kind of pushing it, you might get a decent 5 x 7 with that method. Most likely just tell them they’re going to get a 2 x 3″ print that will look reasonable.

    Why is she compressing it at all? Why not just get the raw footage on a drive?
