2012-10-16
- tech tips is getting an upgrade folks if you haven't already seen my videos where I unbox the fs700 camera and our new Manfrotto tripod and ahead you can watch this one where I'm unboxing our Blackmagic intensity Pro HDMI capture card so what this is going to allow me to do is use a high quality camera to do even things like live streams and webcasts and stuff like that so HDMI captured ok well let's see what black magic has to say for themselves ok HDMI an analog HD SD video editing part k includes on-air video mixing on-air software allows real-time mixing between multiple video sources such as cameras requires intensity or intensity Pro installed in a fast host system for each video input and on-air software will auto sync video cameras display monitoring recorded discs cool stop HD mine analog components that's great for HDTV or standard definition editing at an uncompressed video because remember guys when you have a fancy-pants camera like an fs700 you can record to SD you can record the memory stick but you're going to be recording an AVCHD you will not be recording uncompressed video so that's what video capture is fantastic for ok compressor gottayou dissipates friendly professional compressor if required and density includes the same Blackmagic Design video technology used on Hollywood feature films so quality won't limit your creativity cool stuff alright let's open this up have a look at what we've got in terms of accessories I actually have two of these cards coming well two of them are here see there's two and these will be used to run a multi-camera setup using xsplit and record live to tape for things like unboxings so you can see yeah look at that they're using as eye links Spartan chip on there they've got what appears to be some DDR one or DDR cue memory that's either way it's not ddr3 you can tell from the package size are they using a PCIe bridge chip no it looks like this is a native PCIe 1x card very short card so on the back all you've got is HDMI in HDMI out and then the adapter for analog so this is not a DVI connector even though it kind of looks like one okay kind of looks like DVI but it's not this is a breakout cable so you just go ahead and plug that in there we won't be using any of the analog though analog is for hosers at this point well maybe it isn't that enough maybe you have a very good reason why you still capture analog video maybe have like a fantastic analog video card so it looks like these are a full set of in and out for component and audio so one of these Reds over here there's your audio one and then you have a RGB and then some kind of okay whatever that is so yeah so two sets one in one out and we won't be using any of it because we don't care Oh what's this no no no what this is like an s-video is that like an s-video adapter or something I look like I spent this video I think so it's probably for like two of these like two of these are probably labeled in some ways so that you can use them for whatever this is oh maybe it's composite or something I don't know what they're doing here but it doesn't matter it's an HDMI capture card it captures it up to 1080p 30fps so that'll be perfect for like a dual cam setup where we want to capture 1080p at 30fps it can also do 720p at 60 fps and what else have we missed here switch between HD instantly oh yeah it works on OS 10 as well as windows works with Final Cut Pro Premiere Pro After Effects Photoshop lots of other cool stuff and that's pretty much it so we've got two of these now which is very exciting times for Linus tech tips don't forget to subscribe from unboxings reviews and other computer videos
