Re: [CinCV] blackmagic design hardware suppor for linux toos
The biggest barrier for me was the IO. I had to stripe across 4x7200rpm drives to keep up with the 1080p content. I have since sold my card, but it was fun to play with.

I guess that they were sick of us bugging them :) Also, I worked with one of the FFMPEG developers to get the format of the Intensity card output supported. So it should already be in there. You get really nice looking video with it. I should think so. And you avoid the latency and heavy CPU load of decoding temporally compressed HD video, which is _vital_ for live mixing. (pardon me for going off-topic here...) I was thinking of hdvswitch as the natural HDTV upgrade of dvswitch, a software DV mixer for live recording/streaming, as HD-SDI equipment is too expensive. But HDMI is not. You can even get affordable HDMI-over-CAT6 relay boxes. Of course, those shoestring hacks will likely get the original poster to cringe. ;-) -- Herman Robak ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra

We have had great fun working hard all year turning ideas into new products! This year we have a new DeckLink card, new converters, new routers, new monitoring, a waveform monitor, Linux support and a whole bunch of new software updates! It's quite a lot, and I will describe everything below! Introducing Blackmagic UltraScope For years I have wanted good waveform monitoring for color correction and editing workstations, however most of the products available were either way too expensive or not technically accurate and often quite an ugly design! We really wanted to change that because we want to add waveform monitoring into studios where clients attend and we think waveform monitoring should look nice and be technically accurate. Blackmagic UltraScope is designed for color correction, editing and quality control use, and it looks great in your studio because it features elegant design, combined with technical accuracy. It includes 6 waveform views so it's just like having 6 scopes all in one. Blackmagic UltraScope is a PC based SDI scope that features a plug in PCI card and software. It plugs into any low cost PCI Express based PC, and uses a 24 inch monitor to draw the 6 scope views. These views are RGB/YUV parade, waveform, vector, histogram, audio meters, audio stereo scope, and picture view with VITC timecode reader. There are enough scopes included to make color correction, video shoots and quality control checking easy and, because it's SDI based, it's digitally accurate. Blackmagic UltraScope is designed to be technically accurate, so engineers will love to use it too! http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/ultrascope/ UltraScope will be available in June for $695. Introducing Studio Videohub Last year we introduced Broadcast Videohub and it was really well received. It introduced 3 Gb/s SDI into the Videohub family, plus a great industrial strength power supply. We thought it was time to update the baby router with the same 3 Gb/s SDI technology. Studio Videohub replaces the older Workgroup Videohub, however it's smaller at only 2 rack units high and has more connections at 16 x 32. It's a bit like a mini Broadcast Videohub, as it uses the same technology, re-clocking, power supply, deck control ports and the same 3 Gb/s SDI. It's perfect for small studios and small workgroups. http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/videohub/ Studio Videohub is available now for $4,995. Introducing Enterprise Videohub Last year when we introduced the Broadcast Videohub, a bunch of people asked if we could do a version of it that was larger than it's 72 x 144 size. This was a bit surprising as we thought at the time that Broadcast Videohub was massive! At that time, Broadcast Videohub was the largest size our production machines could handle. However we thought hard about the problem, and then decided that it would be fun to make a larger Videohub, so we rebuilt our factory, and went for it! The result is the new Enterprise Videohub, which is a massive 144 x 288. It's got the same single PCB design that avoids the need for unreliable plug in cards and internal connectors, plus it's got the same redundant power supplies, 3 Gb/s SDI and full SDI re-clocking. It's the same thin design as Broadcast Videohub, and is 16 rack units in size. We think Enterprise Videohub is big enough for the largest facility with huge amounts of SDI equipment that all needs to be shared between people! http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/videohub/ Enterprise Videohub will be available in June for $29,995. Videohub 4.0 Software I think the only real limitation our Videohub routers have previously suffered is the software and we have been working hard to fix that. We originally used network based software control for Videohub because it's so easy to use the network you already have installed in your building. This lets you change router connections from your desktop. Now we have an exciting update to Videohub 4.0 that includes three new button view control windows. These widows are designed with large customizable buttons, and all you need to do is push the button to change a router connection. Two of these button windows are designed to run full screen on 20 and 24 inch monitors, so you can use new touch screen computers, such as the HP Touchsmart, as a large color touch screen control panel.
