Hi everybody, im new to this place, so please be patient with a noob..
I bought a cheap DIVO card for the Onyx2, but i realised later that aquiring stuff with it was a “big money” problem, VTRs are pricey…
So i have 4 options that may work or not1- Buying one of those cheap DV<-->SDI converters to plug in my crappy DV cam
(Sony DCR-PC110E) and then connect it to the DIVO, but i doubt it would work, anybody tryed this??
2- Using a cheap PC with firewire and a pci based SDI card and use it as a VTR (kind of stupid setup huh?)
3- Praying all the days that all the hungry bidders at ebay miss a VTR with SDi option (kind of improbable)
4- Be lucky that in my country someone has and can rent me a vtr, more improbable than 3-Can you recommend a “cheap” vtr player (player/recorder better, with RS422 control) with SDI output?? used, new, for repair… any!
Maybe an analog<--> SDI converter combining other stuff?
I am open to hear any advices, as this is knocking my head all the day, why i bough that DIVO… 😕
anyway, thank you very much in advance
regardsIf you were able to afford a $300,000 license for Fire and/or a $550,000 license for Inferno to run on your Onyx2….i would think that a $20,000 used VTR wouldn’t be too big of an investment…just a thought.
The cheapest option would be, buying an analog VTR, it even can be UMatic. If you can still find one, perhaps the owner will give it as a gift 😀
You will just need ADC and DAC for connecting that $100 VTR. That would be the cheapest way to go! Perhaps converters would cost more than the VTR.Are you planning to use inferno on the onyx2, or what?
