Hi James, The EZV2 PC program will work with your setup and two Vboxes but this
configuration limits your capability. This program is ideally suited to at
least one Vdeck for the source (two for A/B roll) and a Vdeck for the record.
With a Vdeck as a source:
– use fade effects
– control transport speed
– editing precision +/- 2 frames
– control of audio tracks and output levels
With a Vdeck as a source:
– display of source & record video on a single monitor
– time code recording
– PCM audio dubbing with record level control
– frame record
– audio and video line input selection
If you are serious about editing, you will be wise to get at least one Vdeck as
source and save the wear and tear on your camcorder which was never disigned to
be used as an editing machine. Then you will be able to edit the audio as you
wish.
The Vbox has a control S output that can be triggered from the program. For
this to function as a GPI you need a control S to GPI convertor from Carlson
Strand. I recently purchased one and it works great. I will use this to control
an MX1.
If you need any more info on anything, please let me know. Good luck!
Harry,
Thanks for the info. In your message, you had two lists for the source deck:
>> With a Vdeck as a source:
– use fade effects – control transport speed – editing precision +/- 2 frames –
control of audio tracks and output levels
With a Vdeck as a source:
– display of source & record video on a single monitor – time code recording –
PCM audio dubbing with record level control – frame record – audio and video
line input selection <<
Was the second listing really for the Record deck?
Would you have a phone no. for Carlson Strand or the dealer that you purchased
the S-Control to GPI Converter from? Also, is the GPI interface a 2-way
interface?
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
Regards,
Jim Norman
Sorry for the typo, yes the second list should be for record.
Carlson-Strand can be reached at (714) 492-8978. You need their GPI-1 General
Purpose Interface Converter. It sells for $95. It is a one way interface.
