We're looking for a hardware solution for Vegas 6 so that we can handle analog in/out signals (primarily from/to BetaSP). Looking for suggestions--DeckLink, SD-Connect, Canopus...
Dave, I use my DVCAM deck to pass analog to Vegas. It works for me. Decklink just released a new lower priced card, not sure if it works with Vegas. Not much help, huh?
We done that with one-time quickies, but the problem of pass through via our DSR40 (as I understnad it) is that we can't recapture later--e.g. via TC, date stamp, etc. We can make a dub, but that adds a step and a generation.
thanks, david
I guess that means BlackMagic then. I know they have rs422 deck control, but I'm not sure Vegas will take advantage of it. You might have to use the Black Magic control panel.
The SD Connect works beautifully with Vegas and Beta SP. I've also even taken SP footage through my Canopus ADVC in a bind and taken that footage to air.
Haven't used the Blackmagic cards personally but Convergent Designs builds a whale of a good unit.
