Absolutely. You simply need to have the appropriate FireWire extensions installed; the QuickTime FireWire driver is included with QuickTime 4. If you have a Digital Origin FireWire card, you should contact them to determine compatibility with Apple's QuickTime FireWire driver on your computer. Videodelic uses whatever the QuickTime Video Input is available--this includes the video input port of A/V Macs and the FireWire port of recent Macs.

A video capture device that is compatible with QuickTime video capture. The performance and video input size will be dependent on your video capture device and the model of your computer. With A/V Macs or FireWire (this includes FireWire PCI cards) equipped Macs and beige-G3 Macs (and later) with a video capture card, you should be able to incorporate 640 X 480 video input.

Although you cannot directly stream video from your DV camera into FastEZ, you can use other software to download the video to your computer in MPEG or AVI format and then use FastEZ to create a VideoCD using these files. (Back to top) Most file formats have a very rigid and specific definition. Unfortunately, you quite often come upon files that are 'close enough' to this specification so that you can perform many tasks with them, but not all.

However, you can easily use your a/v receiver to switch between multiple video inputs. Connect the monitor out of your equipement to your grab card and all your video devices to video in connectors. Also, some cards come with one, sometimes two composite input that you can use separately from within DScaler. An svideo connection is also quite common, allowing you to switch easily from 2 or 3 sources.

You can transfer Video to your PC through a Firewire cable, although some Digital Video cameras offer USB or USB2 connections. USB is not ideal, since the transfer speed is very low. However, USB2 connections are comparable in speed to Firewire. If your PC doesn't have a Firewire port or USB2 port, you will need to install a PCI Firewire or USB2 card. These are widely available and relatively easy to install. Fire wire ports are also included in the Creative Audigy range of sound cards.

You can use a direct video input. For example, you can use a webcam connected to a USB port, or a firewire compatible digital camera or webcam connected to a IEEE 1934 port. This feature can be activated via the "video" button for SN Demo and the "Capture" option for SNVisionMB (File Menu). It acquires images from the current Windows default input.

Yes and No - You can bring in a normal still or normal digital camera for pictures. Some artists forbid use of professional cameras and/or flash photography so to be on the safe side go with an average everyday camera if you wish to take pictures. Video cameras (VHS, 8MM, Digital video or whatever) are not allowed in the club.

The vOICe will not work directly with a mini DV camera (camcorder) and an IEEE-1394 ("i-Link" or "Firewire") card, because it requires Video for Windows compliance. Digital video input via a Firewire card is in general not Video for Windows compliant. Currently there are three alternative ways to use The vOICe with a mini DV camera: Some camcorders offer USB output for a "webcam" mode. When available, use this connection option instead of the Firewire connection.

A2.1 - i-Catcher Console is our multi-camera product, and as such does not have any cameras added to it by default, as it would be difficult to assume which camera should be used. Camera feeds can be set up via "Local Feeds". The options there can be used to add and configure as many cameras as your licence allows (255 for trial versions, 1 for demo versions, Full version licences are specified at time of purchase).

When connecting to your unit make sure that you have switched the selector switch in the back of the VDR-3000 to "DV". Once the DV selector switch is changed to DV, a red led will appear on the front panel of the VDR-3000. Play your source video and watch to see that the video is appearing on your monitor.

Probably not. DScaler currently only supports the Brooktree/Conexant chipset (see previous question). Supporting others chipsets, while feasable, means some hard work and some solid knowledge of those chipsets. And unfortunately, no recent vga card with video-in feature includes Brooktree/Conexant chipset. Gx00, Asus Deluxe, ATI All-in-Wonder etc... are thus not supported for video input at the moment.

Though it's not supported with the current version it does work (importing at least). Make sure, in the Import Preferences tab you turn off the two preferences "Only imports filenames that start with 'Clip'" and "Only imports clips with correct type/creator". If you are interested in seeing FootTrack support cataloging non DV quicktime movies do let us know.

The differences in DV cameras tend to be in the optics and quality of the CCDs used. A three ccd camera for (red green and blue) tends to be better than a one ccd camera. Often more expensive DV cameras do not have Firewire (or IEEE 1394) connectors and this may limit their use with your computer based editing systems.

The sheer quantity of Digital Video Cameras now available makes the process of choosing the right one a bewildering experience. Bear in mind, like any comparatively new technology, Digital Video camera prices have dropped as the technology has become more widely adopted. As new models are released, the prices of older models fall dramatically. If you're on a tight budget, it makes sense to avoid cutting edge technology and pick up a bargain.

Yes. Xclaim™ VIDEO PLAYER provides real-time live video input from a Composite or S-Video source as well as from Xclaim™ TV in either a resizable window (any arbitrary size) or full screen.

Yes, as long as you have some means of capturing a still image from a video stream. Snappy (Play, Inc.) is a very nice external video capture device which can be used to capture a still image. Video cameras, however, only have a resolution of 640x480 pixels. A good digital camera, such as the Sony DSC-D770, produces an image with a resolution of 1344x1024; approximately 5 times the resolution of a video camera.

We don't recommend bringing video cameras, or even expensive still cameras, on trips. Many people bring disposable waterproof cameras, which work just fine. The quality of the pictures is reasonably good, and if you lose your camera, it's not the end of the world. Many river trips have professional photographers riverside, whose photos you can view and order after the trip.

DVD-R/DVD-RAM (disc) DV is recorded onto a DVD disc with DVD-R being once only and DVD-RAM capable of up to 100,000 rewrites. Yes. The CCD converts the light entering through the lens into a compressed digital stream. More than one CCD can be used to provide higher quality images.

ANSWER: Yes, you can use streams produced by CaptureBox to feed third-party video servers (both MPG and AVI). The MPEG2 streams produced by CaptureBox are ISO-13818-compliant.
