Sony EV-C100 Hi8 Deck
Message #4080
I have a Sony EV-C100 Hi-8 deck, bought July 1994 for $688, for sale for $400. It's a good deck, but I have moved up to one with time code. Anyone interesrted?
Thanks for the post Gary. In talking with Phil today I said my sense of the 'state of the art' for Windows DTV is that what Video Toaster started has not quite made it here yet … looks like about six more months. That estimate seems to be consistent with…
Thanks for your reply. I'll try again, armed with your advise. I just replied to your message about my Direct Ed.
John (& everyone else) Here's some straight answers, some of which noones gonna like and others that are very helpful 1) GVP is out of business. We still have about a dozen boards left. Magni the OEM manufacturer of the boards, will still service them 2) Studio Magic ….RIP another…
Hi Graig, >> the panasonic uses a 5 pin din type socket for editing and is called VITC,
Hi Tim, >> I guess, for the audience I usually end up writing to, I'm looking more in the $1,000 – $3,000 range (w/out decks),
Hi Tim, >> and content w/no style is BBC filmmaking !
Tim – I've heard great things about the $1000 Videonics MX-1. And it has new companion products announced here recently to provide more capabilities, all tolled within $3000. Hank Videology, Inc Where service is our product
John: Thanks for taking the time to reply. The book we are doing will be getting into specifics indeed; I hope it will meet your needs. Thanks for the help. Regards, Keith
Tim: Thank you for your response. I will forward your comments on to the author, and as I review the appropriate sections of the manuscript, I will make note of your suggestions. Thanks again. Regards, Keith
> many of the Windows Video Capture Cards now feature overlay genlock > functions, and that may be the all-around best solution, no? Interesting point … at gets to the nub of my dilemma. I'm just starting out and I severely want to go NLE with a low cost consumer…
> beginners–or people that are just interested in toying with DTV–will > not be interested in a book at that price I think they would. This is me and I certainly would if it were good. There is one dated 92 on the shelves but the content is extremely dated.…
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it.
Hi Paul, >> And if I see ONE MORE chrome sphere floating above a tile floor… >A coupla years ago at this conference, each division was given a video camera on Sunday and told that by the following Friday they were to have produced a music video.
Elliott, Could you be giving it a Composite video source when it is configured for seperate luminance and chrominance (Y/C)? -John
Craig, Yes, you will get much better results with an overlay genlock as opposed to recording directly from the screen on your PC. John Small, in this same thread has pointed out a number of limitations to the GVP GLock solution that I was unfamiliar with (especially that they are…
John, Not much anymore! 🙂 Wow, you make some very good points against the GLock, and I think that it is time that I look for some other solution. I have had experience with RocGen genlocks (from the Amiga world) and they were decent. Have you come accross any other…
Craig, That 5-pin socket sounds like it may be a Panasonic "Control-M" interface. I am not sure how (or why) they would use it as a "VITC" reader/writer interface, VITC being a Time-Code format, and not a Control Signal Protocol. Now it is possible that as part of the control…
Hi john Sounds great this GVP GLOCK how much are they, anything i`ve done previously was just with the camcoder on the tripod pointing at the screen but it seems to flicker on playback and ain`t to professional looking even for my own use come to think of it the…
Hi Timothy I would like to control the camcorder with a software/hardware package that allows the P.C. to control the camcoder, the panasonic uses a 5 pin din type socket for editing and is called VITC, a 10 pin character generator socket also resides on the side of the case…
Michael, I couldn't agree more. I'm just observing how things appear to be. Well, video junk food does abound. But maybe that's because people rely on post too much. It's the glamourous and hi-tec part. By the time the project reaches the DTV professional; most of the work should've already…
Thanks for the information, you would laugh, I you would know, how expensive alladin in DEM is, Matthias
Keith: Here's what I'd like to see: >What would the ideal DTV book include?< It would start w/the parameters of DTV (f'instance, that not all DTV is nonlinear editing), then go onto discussing, w/increasing complexity, things like edit controllers, SEGs, titlers/genlocks, and then go onto nonlinear. >As an advanced user,…
Charles: >My problem is I am brand new to the AG 1970 and can't figure out how to output the hi-fi stereo and select linear audio input. The user's manual is fine if you want to know how to set the clock, but worthless if you want to know any…
Musharraf: >I subscribe Multimedia World which, to me, looks like more of a product advertisements than informative texts. Will browse through these magazines, believe they will be of help.< Glad to be of help! Best, Tim
Henry: >Tim – just had to mention that there are some NLE edit systems out their with superb quality like the Avid Media Suite Pro, that sell for less than $30k, including all hardware and software.< Thanks for letting me know! I guess, for the audience I usually end up…
Mike: >To take it a little further the cake realy dosen't have that much nutritional vale anymore what with the pre packeged Twinkies and such. And maybe thats the problem with video nowadays too. Nothing but a bunch of Twinkeis, Dong Dongs and Cupcakes being pumed through the airways……" GOT…
Paul: >Which is proof that no matter how you push the film's pace in post you cannot salvage an actor who delivers his lines with sizzling prozac passion. Regardless of how he looks in underwear doing the splits between the washer and dryer. < ROFL! Hey, look, Paul–they didn't hire…
#Video Capture problems

Hi, my name is Elliott. I'm a graphic designer and illustrator who creates presentations for a financial services company. I'm fairly new to the world of desktop video, although I use some Quicktime in my presentations. I still find QT kind of klunky, but I suspect this is at least…
Tim – just had to mention that there are some NLE edit systems out their with superb quality like the Avid Media Suite Pro, that sell for less than $30k, including all hardware and software. All you need is a play/record deck and video monitors. Hank Videology, Inc Where service…

Hi Paul, >> My point is, the rules changed from silents, to talkies, to television, and I think they've changed to DTV. Where eye candy is the stuff. The cake is now just a canvas for the frosting.

#Panasonic AG-1970
Message #3986
Videomaker Magazine, March 1995, has an article on audio in which the author says you can dub sound on the tape while preserving the sound already there. You feed the hi-fi stereo from the already recorded tape in the record VCR into your audio mixer, put other sounds (a CD…
I have this package, GVP's Personal Suite Plus (PSP), $499 from Electronic Mailbox. I'm concerned about putting it on for these reasons: 1. G-Lock VGA+ replaces the video card with an ET-4000 chip. While compatible with everything it is SLOW in Windows. I moved an ET-4000 chip out of my…

Patrick. Mr. Media 100 surfer dude. Hi. Desktop pub enabled books, magazines, and newsletters; true (although arguably xerography had more to do with this). But the consumer has had the ability to make and distribute video for years. The camcorder is everywhere and everyone owns a VCR. But few consumers…
Michael, please don't think I'm offended. I sensed an apologetic tone about your message. Since I've become involved with DTV over the past 12 months, I've noticed that there is a huge interest in novelty. To me, this technology is conveyed for mass consumption as 'a string of stunning DVE's'.…

Gary I saw a quasi demo last nite of the VM Lite given by Armatos at a PVACT meeting. They pretty much answered all my questions I had about it. I think that I would be willing to give up the graphics and animation capabilities of the Video Producer for…
Hi Ed, Welcome to the DTV forum. I think that you will find a number of people here able to help with the Targa board questions, ga and jump in! -John
