They helped big time and I am happy with my 75' component cable. Eventually I plan to make my own as suggested by grinner.</p> <p>Two new questions:</p> <p>1. Will 100' feet of component cable hurt me? (Doing 1080 video out of Canon HV30.)</p> <p>2. Can I even mix 75' and 100' cables without there being some delay between the two?</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-long-cables-for-live-broadcast#post-70888 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 14:48:21 +0000 sneal88 70888@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Thanks EarlC,</p> <p>That helps alot. I will check out Markertek. </p> <p>Hopefully this RG59 will give me good-enough quality to work with. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-long-cables-for-live-broadcast#post-70844 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 17:31:11 +0000 EarlC 70844@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>The cable Grinner refers to is your typical RG59 assembly that often comes with BNC connectors and is readily available at places such as Markertek, etc. Canare is a popular, top-quality cable, and rather than using crimp tools to create your own, as over-simplified by Grinner, I suggest spending the extra money to acquire them already made ... sturdier construct.</p> <p>The cable is more robust than your standard cabling that comes with RCA plugs. I use the RG59 cable for runs of up to 200 feet but still use RCA-to-BNC adapters to connect to various cameras. This type cable holds up better to more-than-average use, daily, even weekly, and isn't as quick to get weird kinks and twists, with wires breaking internally, and is better insulated for better quality signal transfer.</p> <p>It will NOT match up to digital connections or HDMI et al, and I don't use it very often for recording signals, mostly for long runs for feed/input or satellite export from live feed to a player or projector in other rooms.</p> <p>I also have used with good results standard issue RCA analog cable and connectors, but for runs of more than 75-100 feet I use a distribution amp to keep the signals strong.</p> <p>There are a LOT of options, and it would take a course and accompanying book to go into it all, but you can pick up a lot visiting the MarkerTek people or Google searches for various things like video connections, signals, strengths, weaknesses, etc. Hope this info helps a bit.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-long-cables-for-live-broadcast#post-70843 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 17:00:27 +0000 sneal88 70843@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Okay, I did my homework. Ignore my questions. Thanks for your help!</p> <p>I would like to ask...could I just use RCA ends instead of BNC, or is there a reason you suggest using BNC connectors.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-long-cables-for-live-broadcast#post-70841 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 08:31:57 +0000 sneal88 70841@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>really? so use standard cable wire that is used for tv? that makes sence for long distances.</p> <p>now, how would i connect that to my camera? my camera has "rgb component". please dont tell me i would need some expensive converter or something.</p> <p>i kno these are prob amateur questions...sry</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-long-cables-for-live-broadcast#post-70840 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 06:56:53 +0000 grinner 70840@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Making your own componant cables is the norm. Easy enough... just crimping bnc ends to cut spools.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-long-cables-for-live-broadcast#post-70837 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 17:05:57 +0000 sneal88 70837@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hello,</p> <p>I'm a first time post(er). I wanted to ask for alittle advice before I upgrade.</p> <p>I broadcast live games, and events with 4 Canon HV30s. Their connected to my PC via firewire. Firewire gives me excellent quality, but its short! My longest cable it 25'</p> <p>What should I use for long distances? My camera outputs composite, component, and HDMI.</p> <p>Is anyone using 100' component cable? HDMI? Am I overlooking a better way? I will need to buy capture cards as well (possibly Intensity Pro) but I want to figure out what cable I should go with while keeping my great quality. HELP! lol</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/5-hours-of-editing-any-tips#post-44987 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 21:07:45 +0000 shippocaio 44987@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks SargeHero! </p> <p>It was only now that i noticed the quantity of files that i will actually use! There are more than 100 videos, 20 songs and 150 Photos! (I didn't know that i was actually going to use photos until a few hours ago...) well, i guess i will stay awake until morning... i will turn into a bat today, i will sleep during day and be awake during night.. =D</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks for the help!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/5-hours-of-editing-any-tips#post-44986 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 19:50:35 +0000 SargeHero 44986@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>5 hours of raw video is...well a lot of video footage (a lot) I suggest that first you need to organize your videos in folders. Watch all the videos and look for the preliminary footage you want and discard what you dont need. Put all the preliminary fottage in a folder on my documents or in the desktop so its easier to open in the future. Do not mix the preliminary videos with unusable video (then you wont find anything) If you use music, pictures, etc, put them all in different folders with a folder name such as "Pictures", "Music", etc. Now that you have all your video footage organized look again at your preliminary videos and select  the segments you want from each one (use Vegas Trim feature, use the markers and regions and create the subclips you like). If you know how to use Vegas Media Manager feel free to use it too. </p> <p>Now that you have what you need make a three column table with the following: on the left column put VIDEO, next to the video column put AUDIO and on the last column put TIME (this one is optional, you use it if you really need to) In the VIDEO column put the names of the videos you will use, where they are in your computer (optional, but use it if you like, just in case) and what you want to do with them (you can also put transitions in here). In the AUDIO column put what music you like and if you are planing on recording audio for a Voice Over, put the narration in this area. In the third column put how much time your video segment will last. Every time you use a new video put it in another column and enumerate everything. In the end you will have your technical/editing script and all you need to do is take your script, sit in front of your computer for several hours and follow the order of the script.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/5-hours-of-editing-any-tips#post-44984 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 18:07:03 +0000 shippocaio 44984@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Ok guys, here is the deal.</p> <p>I have 5 hours of raw AVCHD footage to edit in my Sony Vegas Pro 8. I use a HP Media Center PC, with a 2.6 GHz processor (dual core), 2 GB of ram and 500 GB Hard Drive. I wont be doing any complex editing. I will just put all the vids in the timeline, put some titles, make some (rough) cuts and that is it. But i was wondering if you guys have any tips for either myseilf or my computer. Anything that would make the editing less painful would be greatly appreciated!</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Caio P.</p>
