It seems to me that more work is being done on product development here than in Germany.  The paucity of information - mainly confined (as Drake's remark in this thread) to what Next Gen isn't rather than when it is and when it can be expected - is doing Avid/Pinnacle absolutely no good at all.  Liquid is now the least developed of the ...

Can I try and help?  Dave seems to be away at present or I'm sure he'd have responded. First there's a confusion of terms.  Multicam is a way of editing two to fifteen different streams at the same time - often shot during the performance of an event.  Multisync is a process in the preparation of the streams for multicam ...

Another update on this issue which might make you want to reconsider which of the above solutions you choose. I recently shot a wedding reception in a marquee (not sure what that is in America - big tent!) consisting of a canvas outer and a filmy inner layer, fortunately both were white!.  The top table was facing east from the western wall ...

As so often Dave, you/re able to tell me a better way than I discovered myself.  Thanks again.

I agree with Sylvain. We make our basic multicam files up as Dave has suggested using each as Cam 1. However, we have six channels of audio from the three cameras - plus, occasionally two wild tracks of music or choir on our H4. To handle these when we're making up the multicam sync file, we make a total of three using each camera as th''lead'' ...

Tomas kindly alluded to my earlier posting regarding the WD Media player and it's true that we are very happy with our two WD players. However, to answer your specific question, ''does it make sense...'' I'd say no. If you just want to see your work in HD it'll give you a warm, but expensive, feeling.  If you've got a BD player it's far ...

To my recollection the H4's internal batteries lasted about 90 minutes with phantom driving an AT835 (I think the number's right - single unit stereo separate channels - needs phantom or an AA cell). The external is a simple switched box from a UK cheap multiple (Maplins) into which I shove either a PP3 or a NiH equivalent (now I've seen the ...

VE7AXO: John, Let us know how it turns out for you.  I've been thinking about getting one of these and would like to hear about your experience when you have had a chance to put it through its paces. We've had an H4 for 9 months for recording of organ and choir in church plus incidental music at receptions eg string quartets and are ...

You misunderstood my message I'm afraid - the DVDs built into the TVs were upscaling not the Media Players.  It is possible to output SD from the Media Players but that isn't upscaled. The WD Media Players output full HD at 1080p and also at lower resolutions.  There is only one model - you can instal the latest firmware from the WD ...

Can I pass on my enthusiasm for the Western Digital Media Player - without, I hope, offending any rules about commercials because I'm entirely independent of WD? A lot of our promotional effort is at Wedding Fairs.  Our usual stand consits of two identical 22in LCD monitors mounted one above the other on a single chrome column, a ...
