Live HD Inputs & Configuration for HD

Fred

HDMI has no analogue information, the HDMI to VGA adaptor will not work, you will have to use a thunderbolt port. Also HDMI is a video standard, I would be very surprised if it lets you get anything above 1920x1080, but let us know how you go. Magic lantern is a great upgrade and works a treat, well worth it, if you dont like it just boot without the magic lantern card in. Generally the live output of the cheaper DSLRs is pretty low resolution, it is always cut down and scaled.

I have been using the canon HV series of cameras, they are pretty ood quality and very cheap and reliable. You get reasonable control and manual settings and a live low latency full frame HDMI out.

Don't be afraid of the Magic Lantern! It works really well, and allows very detailed control over all settings, and is super easy to bypass, and despite the official warnings, there aren't any reports of it damaging anybody's camera who weren't damaging it in some other way (leaving it on for hours and hours... with the auto-off disabled)

But is summarily gets rid of that foolish white square.

@Ipearse my only colleague who tried it ended up with a fried SDHC card. I want to try it, as well, but am worried about just that! Anyone else have that experience?

Also curious about Latency w/ live HD 1x1 in Izzy. What have people experienced?

Hi,

I think latency would change quite a lot depending on the hardware used for capture.

It's how it goes for SD so...

Fried SDHC card? Wow. We use it in the film department of the university I work at on 10+ cameras, and nobody has ever had that problem. No problems at all, in fact, and these are students using them...

Live 720 P is hovering at about 1/8 second latency with 0-6 FX -- setup is real nice. Next up is to try w/ Blackmagic and SDI.

@lpearse -- good to hear you've had such success with it! I'll let my buddy know that he may be making some rookie mistakes... definitely makes me want to try it myself!

Hello all

I don't know if this is the right thread. But is it possiple to capture live from a go pro and at what frame speed? Anyone tried that?

Thanks

I think it would be more for HD3.

You can do capture with HD2 over HDMI but you get data overlay and about 28-29fps and decent few frame delay. I use MXO2 Mini set 1080p **8bit** YUV

Thanks Vanakaru. Always precious.... I'm sorry I see this so late.

Hello, we can only have 2 thunderbolt intensity OR 2 thunderbolt mini recorder at the same time capturing HD. But also 1 thunderbolt minirecorder and 1 thunderbolt intensity. With the intensity usb it is the same: we can have in isadora double HD capture at the same time. Basically Blackmagic drivers are for thunderbolt OR USB devices and one cannot mix usb AND thunderbolt but we can have 2 at the same time (maybe 3... Isadora (non qtkit) works fine with them using the usb beta 9.7.9.

You cans see detailed text here with cpu speed. All running at 30 fps rock solid.
