[AG-TECH] Decklink SDI capture card - SD captuer issues

[Jason Bell]

Thanks to everyone for their inputs.

I never realised that 'Decklink SDI capture card is limited to (SD-)SDI signals only' in which explains why Sony HD1 camera works, but explains why the 'Sony EVID 100' and 'Panasonic WVCP240 CTV Colour Camera' don't work.

In a few months, I will have access to the Song HD1 camera, so I think for the time being, I might see if I can purchase (or maybe borrow) an older analog SD capture card. The Osprey 100 and Opsrey 460e cards seem to be highly recommended so I might see if I can get one of these.

So, for the Australian AG community:


* Does anyone have a 'good' supplier from where I can purchase one of the suggested Opsrey cards from?

* Does anyone have any alternative card that can be purchased within Australia

* If anyone has a number of these old cards not in use, care to provide a loan or give away (Well you gotta try don't you)?

Thanks for everyone's response.

Cheers,
Jason.

Subject: Decklink SDI capture card - SD captuer issues

G'day Colleagues (apologies for cross posting)

I am having an issue with an AG system that I recently converted to Windows 7 and I am having some issues with capturing 'SD' Video on a brand new (well never been opned) Decklink SDI capture card.

I have installed the latest 'decklink' drivers, but unfortunately I cannot get it to detect when any SD input is connected.

Therefore, I have some comments/questions that I am hoping the AG community can assist me with.


* The capture card appears to be working fine, as I connected it to a Sony HD1 camera and it worked fine (But this was 'loaned' for another AG system);

* I have tried connecting it to three different - Sony EVID 100 Cameras and one Panasonic Cameras (Panasonic WVCP240 CTV Colour Camera) without success;

* Unfortunately the other IVCE-8784 do not have windows 7 drivers - so I don't have other options;

* Has anyone used a Decklink SDI capture card to capture SD video on a windows system before? I am wondering this, just in case the latest drivers is what might be causing me by grief;

* Does anyone recommend a good 'Windows' 7 capture card that accepts SD video. A single input is suffice.

Thanks in advance,
Jason.
