Video edit systems
« on: December 26, 2005, 11:54:14 PM »

Thought this could be a good topic of interest, letting everyone know what edit system we run. you never know we may be able to help each other..

We have Pinnacle (now Avid) Liquid Pro 6.1. 
we also have Pinnacle studio 9 for simple works.

Used to work on Premiere for my home editing. Now I'm a Vegas fan. I still love Premiere, don't get me wrong, but Vegas is something worth looking into, in my book.

Work:  10 edit bays w/ dual proc. G4's & widescreen displays and FCP

Home: Hybrid PC w/ 4gb ram, 3 17" flatscreens, 4ghz proc., new PCIe ATI card, with Vegas, Premiere, Avid Express Pro HD (as of this weekend), AfterFX, Boris Red

The Canopus board is a dedicated video editing hardware solution and it outputs to component video and has many real time functions including real time multi track editing.

I bought it in 99 before computers were fast enough to produce real-time multi stream playback. It works very well you can add filters and not wait for rendering.

I am curios though.  Are any systems now days running on a standard PC able to do true real-time and can they break out the video signal from the PC display and output it to a video monitor, via a video card that has svideo or component output?

They are worth checking out.

I'm pretty sure that Avid's box does that. They have a couple of versions. Adrenaline is for Media Composer and the like and Mojo is for the lower-end systems. I know we've got a Mojo box at work, and it does exactly what your canopus card does, and much more.

Are you familier with Canopus?

No, I'm not very familiar with Canopus. As I said, I'm a Final Cut and Avid guy only. Heck, I don't even know Premiere.

OK what's wrong with the previous statement?
