On Location comes bundled with Premier Pro. I am not sure if you can buy it as a stand alone product.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/request-for-help-recording-from-gl2-directly-another-device#post-63297 Sat, 06 Nov 2010 05:47:00 +0000 Cville 63297@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> A friend of uses a Toshiba dvd recorder with a fire wire connection for recording single camera shoots direct to a dvd so he can hand them the dvd right after the event.  He also records on his camera tape so he has a backup.</p> <p>I own one of the toshiba recorders but have not tried this.  I got mine for under $100 at sams club.  They are not exactly a field recorder you will need 120v power for the unit.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/request-for-help-recording-from-gl2-directly-another-device#post-63282 Fri, 05 Nov 2010 12:31:57 +0000 XTR-91 63282@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>There is definetly such a thing as a Firewire hub, but you will need to make sure it records streaming video and has a convenient way of battery power if there is no outlet.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/request-for-help-recording-from-gl2-directly-another-device#post-63271 Fri, 05 Nov 2010 05:19:54 +0000 birdcatcher 63271@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks for your quick responses. I'd seen some pretty specific instructions for recording to a DVD deck online and wondered if other alternatives have been successfully adopted. Folks at the electronics stores in my area are not particularly adept at answering such questions or providing answers. Will look into both options. The "Scenealyzer" intrigues me as I've never heard of it. Will investigate both. Thanks again.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/request-for-help-recording-from-gl2-directly-another-device#post-63239 Thu, 04 Nov 2010 06:06:54 +0000 SteveMann 63239@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have used Scenalyzer to capture three SD cameras to an external hard-disk on a laptop.  (This was about five years ago on a dual-core laptop)  Perfect for what you are trying to do.</p> <p>3 DV cameras<br />Firewire hub<br />Firewire Externall HDD</p> <p>I would imagine that a quad-core laptop would work even faster.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/request-for-help-recording-from-gl2-directly-another-device#post-63228 Wed, 03 Nov 2010 21:44:55 +0000 EarlC 63228@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>According to this 2004 review at camcorderinfo.com there should be two ways to record out to another device. I have one but have never attempted to do any recording to an external device except using the firewire port and an appropriate cable. The review states:</p> <p>Ports: The GL2 contains all the standard ports for connecting your camcorder to external devices. Transfer of digital stills is done via a USB port. The camcorder includes a single standard DV IEEE 1394 (Firewire) in/out port for transferring video from camcorder to computer. The camera also has a mini RCA port with a cable which converts the mini RCA into full-size RCA ports. This port can function both as an in and out port just like the S-Video port on the GL2.</p> <p>I suspect that like the XL1 system the GL2 remote control has to be used to prevent certain information visible in the viewfinder from being burned onto your external device.</p> <p>Regarding use of an external device, I've used XL1 units paired with an old Panasonic MX12 mixer via S-Video and audio outputs into an equally old Casablanca standalone editing system, and onto the unit's hard drive. I've also fed the GL2 firewire output into that device.</p> <p>Your most simple solution, probably, is to acquire a standalone consumer DVD burner deck or VCR/DVDR deck with either/and/or S-Video, RCA analog, firewire I/O. You have the camcorder so YOU do the experimenting, I don't have time to confirm, but you should be able to make it happen.</p> <p>If I were seriously needing to confirm this capability I'd go to the nearest store electronics department that sells these standalone recording boxes, bring my GL2, the remote, and the three cables for video, plus my audio cable and a tape, tell the salesperson if the unit works as a record-passthrough while my camera is also recording to tape I'll buy it. Then test that sucker and see if it can work.</p> <p>Your most difficult situation is if your GL2 is NOT a stationary unit on a tripod, and if you do not have AC available to your DVD recorder box. If you run and gun like I have done with sports related videotaping, then a much more expensive portable firewire HD system mounted to camera or stay with tape-to-system ingestion and remain up all night are the only other options I see available to you.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/request-for-help-recording-from-gl2-directly-another-device#post-63227 Wed, 03 Nov 2010 19:22:42 +0000 birdcatcher 63227@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I record sports for a small college teams using my own Canon GL2. The color and sound are great and the production timeline has been manageable. I'd shoot a game on tape one evening, do a little editing overnight and deliver discs to coaches the next morning. </p> <p>Because of changes in the conference, we'll need to produce discs for the opposing team right after the game. Consequently, we need to record directly to some type of device in real time. I've seen several concepts used at other schools...outputting the signal to a computer, recording to a DVD deck, etc. but am looking for the simplest, most cost-effective method. </p> <p>Does anyone have a recommendation? Details are appreciated...</p> <p>Incidentally, I still plan to record to tape as well, for archival purposes...I'll use that copy to create highlight reels!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/image-moves-faster-then-realtime-in-cs4#post-46705 Tue, 12 May 2009 07:31:51 +0000 chuckengels 46705@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Excellent question, what camera did you use?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/image-moves-faster-then-realtime-in-cs4#post-46675 Mon, 11 May 2009 18:58:17 +0000 TDedmonSBP 46675@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I certainly don't mean to be rude, but into what format was the video recorded?

When I import movie files and shall begin to edit them, the image of the movie moves so much faster than the sound, wich is in realtime.       This problem does not exist in Premiere Pro 2.0, wich I also have installed on my comp, so I guess it's something smelly with the new graphic card acceleration and all the new functions. </p> <p>My computer should be good enough to use CS4. Use nvidia Geforce 8800 Gts 640 mb. </p> <p>Anyone else had this problem? And any ideas of how it could be solved?</p> <p>Melayan</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/matrox-rtx2-le-faq#post-36540 Thu, 15 May 2008 06:10:43 +0000 Videoguy 36540@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Videoguys' Matrox RT.X2 LE FAQ </p> <p>Our Videoguys HD editing experts have been getting a lot of questions about the exciting new Matrox RT.X2 LE and we'd like to share some of the most common answers with you to help you decide to get the Hardware Advantage today! </p> <p>Part I - Introducing Matrox RT.X2 LE </p> <p><em>What is the difference between Matrox RT.X2 LE and other capture cards? </em> </p> <p>Matrox RT.X2 LE is a real-time hardware accelerator. This means that<br /> it is far more powerful then just a simple Input/Output capture card.<br /> With Matrox RT.X2 LE you get real-time performance that goes beyond<br /> what you can accomplish from software alone. </p> <p><em>Can I edit HDV footage with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 on its own? Why doI need a Matrox RT.X2 LE? </em> </p> <p>Although Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 software alone can edit HDV footage,<br /> it's not going to give you the same smooth, quick editing environment<br /> you are used to with DV footage. Not only does HD footage contain more<br /> pixels and bits of information, the compressions used put a huge<br /> burden on your systems resources. Matrox RT.X2 LE alleviates this<br /> burden and editing HDV footage is a breeze. It is BETTER because it is<br /> real-time! </p> <p><em>So what exactly do you mean by real-time?</em> </p> <p>Matrox RT.X2 LE hardware allows you to play back multiple layers of HD<br /> video and graphics directly from the Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 timeline<br /> without rendering. That includes adding filters, transitions and<br /> special effects. That's something that software can't do on its own,<br /> even with the fastest quad core computers. For example; our DIY 6 Quad<br /> Core machine with Matrox RT.X2 LE can play back a timeline that<br /> includes two layers of HDV video with a slow motion filter on one<br /> layer and color filters on the other, as well as a graphic overlay.<br /> This plays back in real-time, directly from the timeline, with no<br /> rendering! </p> <p>For the rest of the RT.X2  FAQ, follow this link <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/rtx2le_faq.html">http://www.videoguys.com/rtx2le_faq.html</a> </p> <p>Gary </p>
