Hopelessly lost in DVCProHD capturePosted by harry323
I'm attempting to capture 24f material from a Canon XLH1 SDI port through a Blackmagic HD Pro card into FCP 5.
I am using the sequence preset DVCPro HD - 1080i60. I am using the Capture preset DVCPro HD 1080i60 48kHz. My video playback is set for Blackmagic HDTV 1080p 23.976 -> 29.97 output - 10 bit (1920x1080). I am capturing sound through the internal Mac port. My huge problem is that the picture doesn't capture and, although the sound does capture I can only hear it on playback, and even then it needs rendering. I feel that I'm pretty close on this one, but can someone help me get my settings right? Best Harry. PS: I know it's bad form to post on more than one site, but I'm drowing here. Please throw me a rope. H. Harry Bromley-Davenport.
Thank you both for your advice. SInce my frenzied post I have managed to capture picture, but can't get it to play back on my external monitor.
And when I manage to capture video, audio capture ceases. Wierd, huh? I believe 24f Canon capture CAN be done this way thru SDI and using Mac internal sound capture -- others greater than I have done so. Just not me so far. I'll try calling Blackmagic tomorrow. Meanwhile thanks a million for your help. And anyone else, please throw me a rope - I'm drowning! Best H. Harry Bromley-Davenport.
Update:
I have now managed to capture picture, thanks to advice from Blackmagic, using their "easy setup" "Blackmagic HDTV 1080i59.94 - DVCPRO HD". It works just fine coming out of the SDI port. Now my problem remains the sound. I have been relaibly informed that I can capture sound through the minijack input on the Mac if I set everything to "internal sound". However, I'm not having any luck. Can any one help out on this one? I think I'll make a seperate post. Best, and thanks to all for the advice. Harry. Harry Bromley-Davenport.
