#DPS Internet Address
Message #176077
Anyone know DPS's internet address?? Thanks Bob.
1.0F ?????? Is the latest and greatest.. >>improved the efficiency of straight cuts by not rendering a third ANI file >>when editing together 2 ANI files without transitions. >>IS THIS TRUE? or just a typo (D & F are kinda close on the keyboard) If >>it is true I need…
Ok I've been following but now I am confused. If you digitize the audio and have it resident on your computer and use a project file cant you create a completed single wave file and play it back with complete time control to tape. Then just splice the tape piece…
I am not really doubting that its the drive I would just like some proof before I go sending stuff to here and there. Doesnt DPS have any diagnostics??? I sure wish I could run something and it would say its broke.. Or say too many bad block to record..…
>> I have found this practice yields poor results and is more prone to file >>corruption than the approach I use. What approach do you use? I am not clear on that. >> I have never had to use BLF factors below 240 or QF below 23 for >> renderings…
I never really tired this with only one clip What would be the point. I have reformatted the drive. >>only after many file deletes and optimizes and a long time since you >>last reformated? I usually have 30 to 40 short clips. Then I combine 20 of them into 1…
#Help with PAR Compress
Message #175046
I am haveing a problem lately and wonder if anyone can help.. When I have my PAR drive about 1/2 to 3/4 full and compress it I get bad frames in video files that were good. I dont ever remember this happening before I am now running ver 1.5. The…
* Who makes it, and how much does it cost? InSync coporation.. * Does it basically let you do non-linear editing on the PAR (with audio using a sound card) by creating sequences before hand and playing them back in a linear fashion from the PAR drive ? It creates…
>> I assume it works without problems, like sync and "hiccups" when >> doing sound and video together. Is this true? Yep I have to admit I had my doubts at first but I havent had any problems.. I records really well from inside windows but there still is stuff…
I am useing a PAR and TBCIV and a turtle beach card right now.. Bob.
Not to interupt but since I have this setup The answer is sure Does.. Bob From The Design Shop
It does a great job under windows Dont know about Amiga though. I have the TBCIV and PAR combo. It now has video/audio simultaneous capture. Its great. I mean really great. All under windows too. If you need more info or help just ask Bob from The Design Shop..
Which mother board is that ??? And what is EDO DRAM ?? And whats the bottom line for this board.. will it require a TBC ?? Thanks for any info Bob from The Design Shop..
>>Does this thing work? I tried to get it to work the other day and it asked me for >>a file name the first time, told me it was invalid and then on further attempts just >>told me 'Invalid File' 'Invalid File' . Since it didn't actually come with any…
I currently have the PAR/TBCIV combination by DPS for captureing video. Its about the best under 10K system you can get.. Only problem is there is no real time rendering of transitions or effects beacuse they are all done thru software. So the bigger the PC the faster it will…
After I read this note I cant say anything but huh ?? Why is Play introduceing a product in the same room with the competion I dont know.. Was Trinity any good did anybody see it?? A company run by a lawyer saying hes going to get a engineering comany…
Turtle Beach makes the Tropez. Its SB compatible has a wave table built on and has an IDE CD ROM interface.. If you add RAM you can also do digital sampleing. From talking to the guys from Turtle Beach at a show the audio recording portion should be the same,but…
#new PAR and NT ???
Message #166893
Hi, After some thought I remember reading somewhere that video for windows is all 16 bit stuff not 32. So if this is true why does the new Preception board need to run in NT?? Does anybody know if it will run in Chicago ??? Thanks Bob from The Design…
>>The "Flyer in a box" will allow you to skip the whole tape thing until the final >>output to tape, and if that is the weakest link in the >>Hi-8 and SVHS world, won't that help a bunch? I guess if I was at a fixed sight this would be…
DVision works with a pretty good capture board which you can cut a rough draft of. It also renders (creates transitions and wipes) very quickly. But it is basically an enviornment thats market share is getting smaller all the time due to programs like Preimiere. I think DVision Pro is…
Thanks again.. >> I'm going to assume you mean the colors look over saturated. Yep.. >>It's also possible that the monitor you viewed the 455 footage on, made the >>colors appear warmer. This could be it could also be the TBC setup for the day.. >>a little noisy though. I've…
Thanks I am takeing this all in. And from all this great information I am starting to see some light as too the Pros and cons of this buying choice.. Mostly no one has a problems with the picture quality just the physical tape and how it holds up. Do…
Thanks for all the good stuff. I am looking to upgrade and really havent had the depth of experience to make a good judgement on this. I have done a ton of reading all of which seems to be contradictory. I currently have a Hi8 Ricoh 88H camera which is…
Hi Bob. Sorry, I can't say anything on the Panansonic units. As for which format to use, I think you're going to get a lot of responses on this one. I shoot and edit with Hi-8. The reason I chose it was because its audio capabilities exceed that of S-VHS.…
#AG 1960-1970 Hi8 or SVHS
Message #4868
So many questions but here is just 2. 1. OK whats the difference between the 1970 and 1960 deck by Panasonic. 2. If you were looking for gear would you go Hi8 or SVHS. Thanks I know this has probably been asked a thousand times but I need some input…

AG1960 For Sale
Message #4844
Do you still have the 1960 for sale.. can you tell me the difference between this and the 1970.. Bob.
No dont take this wrong I think haveing to create the effect then save it and then import back into the program a little strange.. Its the I/O I/O stuff I see as a little crude.. Not the type effects. I think they are top notch and to be able…
Cool. Thanks for letting me know. I am going to be on the list to get one. Bob from The Design Shop..
Hi I still have the PAR and Razor and after talking to DPS and In Sync today maybe I can answer some questions >>Would it be better to get two 2GB drives or one 4GB drive? It really depends on the length of what you mix. If you think you…
>>When I first won it I thought about trading it for Razor, but after playing with >>Premiere I starting to really like it. >>Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. I have both Premiere and Razor Pro.. Razor Pro with TransJammer is really a cool cookie. I am useing…
Since I am not familiar with this deck please tell me Does it have stereo audio ?? Does it have Azimuth sp ?? heads does it have control L control that will give me time code with a VBOX.. Let me know Thanks Bob..
>>* The PVR >> Very impressive quality Better thean the existing PAR or just as good ?? Thanks Bob from The Design Shop..
But as a current owner I am wondering on what are my options Will the new NT software work with the current PAR??? Can I use my TBCIV with the need digitizer card or will I have to buy all new??? Will DPS still update the drivers to support the…
Does this mean that my current PAR/TBCIV will run the same software ??? Will I be able to capture video and audio under NT with my current hardware?? Will there be a hardware upgrade path ?? Oh so many questions for a current PAR TBCIV user.. Thanks in advance Bob…
I think you should re read that doc. I believe it says that the Autodesk emblem has to be shown before you use the DLL. In other words when you start up the app. If this is any different let me know.. Thanks Bob from the Design Shop..
Par Windows Recording
Message #163951
Is there going to be an interface to record with the PAR TBCIV combination under windows ??? With Audio at the same time ??? Any info would be great Thanks Bob from The Design Shop
No… Pentium Assembly language.. All these things are really new and are probably written really poorly for the PC.. When this generation stabilizes a little then will come a parade of really fast stuff. Lets face it the P90 runs really fast but when you create a program useing 286…
Yep, They are a generation or so back.. There are several new cards promissed for this year but no deliveries yet. I my self use a DPS PAR setup. Its kinda expensive but you get high quality. The Disk is attached to the PAR board so there is almost no…
I use the PAR and can tell you that in converts from 32 bit (alpha) TGA to 24 bit TGA's so you lose your keying information A better solution that keeping the entire image on your disk would be to save the MATT information. This should be much smaller then…
Razor Pro
Message #160630
Don, I have talked to the DPS people and they seem to be haveing problems. They told me that the new release date is April for NAB. I am not sure they will make it (they have delayed three times already). I do know that Razor Pro with the TransJammer…
Jammie, I hope you put in a MCIPAR version checker for your next version.. I was running the old drivers and didnt know it. Last night I ran with the new drivers and noticed a considerable difference. Especially when scraping.. Man oh Man really quick even with an effect/transition on..…
Can you tell me if the Deck supports stereo audio and does it have the TBC's just like the 1970.. If so I am very intersted.. Thanks Bob from the Design Shop.
Good luck Dean.. I am considering an Internet account myself. Are you hooked up via ISDN ?? hope so Bob from The Design Shop.
NAB
Message #157770
Hi I am intrested in anyone that is going to NAB and is really into Desk Top Video. If you are going please do a write up and tell us about all of the cool new stuff. Or at least tell me… about all the new cool stuff. I would…
Thanks, Hmm that was Friday I wonder what they are saying now. Bob from The Design Shop.
#PAR MCI Update
Message #157259
Anybody know when the MCI stuff will be released for the PAR or when the Razor update will be released. Thanks Bob from The Design Shop.
>> I have heard that DPS is coming out with a driver supporting avi playback…is >>this true? will I be able to playback 752×480 video with audio? Hi, Do you have any DPS hardware ?? This is what people use Razor Pro with. It is a hardware device that capture…
David, If you are looking for a good low end system to do video I have a few ideas for you. If you dont need digital video. Go linear and use the Fast Lite system (2500 list) with two Panasonic 1970 decks (~1400 ?? street) and a SVHS type camera…
John, for me its kinda in the technique. Large motion shots (pans or lots of character entry and exits) I capture at 17 sometimes 16 (thats my average). Low motion (talking heads outdoor scenery) I can capture all the way to 20. It takes a little getting used to but…
