Teranex Processor Settings Video Formats Supported The 2D to 3D feature supports SD and HD inputs, and converts to an HD output. The 3D Convert and 3D Camera Align features support all 3D-centric video formats that are supported by the Teranex 3D. For 3D Align, both input streams, left and right, must be of the same format and frame rate. The following video format conversions are supported: Pass-through, where the output format is the same as the input format. 1080i 50/59.94 to 1080p/sf 23.
Capture and Playback 47 Capture and Playback Using your Favorite Editing Software When your Teranex 2D or 3D Processor is connected to a computer with Thunderbolt technology it can be used as a powerful editing solution for video capture, conversion and playback. The Teranex software installs Blackmagic system preferences for your favorite video editing software on Mac OS X and Windows computers.
Capture and Playback DaVinci Resolve You can use DaVinci Resolve to capture both video and audio from your Teranex processor. For example, you could use Teranex to upconvert an old analog videotape and simultaneously capture the HD output with Resolve. Once the clips are captured into Resolve's Media Pool, it's easy to use the powerful editing and color grading tools to further enhance your material.
Capture and Playback Avid Media Composer Avid Media Composer captures and plays back standard definition and high definition video and audio with Teranex Processor hardware and also supports RS-422 deck control. Blackmagic plug-ins for Media Composer are automatically installed if Media Composer is installed before the Desktop Video software. For this example, the converted output from Teranex will be 1080i59.94 and we will be capturing from a non-controllable device.
Capture and Playback Apple Final Cut Pro 7 “Easy Setups” for Final Cut Pro 7 are automatically installed if Final Cut Pro is installed before the Desktop Video software. Blackmagic video hardware is fully compatible with Apple’s RT Extreme™ real time effects. For this example, the converted output from the Teranex will be 1080i50 and we will be capturing from a non-controllable device. Setting Up Apple Final Cut Pro 7 Step 1. Launch Final Cut Pro 7 and select File>New Project. Step 2.
Capture and Playback Apple Final Cut Pro X If you want to use Final Cut Pro X to play back video on an external video monitor or TV, you can use the broadcast monitoring feature of Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 and newer to output your video through Teranex Processor hardware. For this example, clips are Uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 1080i59.94 with 2 channels of audio. Setting Up Final Cut Pro X Set the default video standard in the System Preferences to match your Final Cut Pro X project. Step 1.
Capture and Playback Adobe Premiere Pro CC For this example, the converted output from the Teranex will be 1080i50 and we will be capturing from a non-controllable device. Setting Up Step 1. Launch Premiere Pro CC. In the Welcome window select Create New/New Project. A window will open containing project settings. Step 2. Name your project. Choose the location for your project by clicking Browse and selecting your desired folder. Step 3.
Capture and Playback Adobe After Effects CC How to use Blackmagic as a preview output frame buffer To display your composition in real-time through your Blackmagic hardware, go to Preferences > Video Preview. Mercury Transmit must be enabled in order to use your Blackmagic hardware with After Effects CC. Under Video Devices, select Blackmagic Playback. You can now use a broadcast monitor to view your After Effects compositions in the correct video colorspace.
Capture and Playback Adobe Photoshop CC How to grab and output video frames Import an image into Photoshop Step 1. From Photoshop select File > Import > Blackmagic Image Capture. Step 2. Select the “Video Input Format” and the “Image Bit Depth” and then click Capture Image. Export an image from Photoshop Step 1. Select File > Export > Blackmagic Image Export. Step 2. Photoshop CC (2014) Image Capture Image Export Select Video Output Format and then click Output Image.
Waveform Monitoring 55 Waveform Monitoring Using Blackmagic UltraScope for Waveform Monitoring With the Teranex 2D and 3D Processors, you get the incredible features of Blackmagic UltraScope which you can even use with compatible Mac OS X and Windows notebook computers using Thunderbolt technology! Blackmagic UltraScope software is installed by the Teranex Processor Installer.
Waveform Monitoring Blackmagic UltraScope Displays Blackmagic UltraScope software is a great tool for maintaining accurate broadcast legal video and audio levels from your Teranex's converted output. Scopes used to monitor your levels include RGB Parade, Waveform, Vectorscope, Histogram and Audio Metering Display. RGB Parade Display RGB parade displays the red, green and blue channels of your converted output.
Waveform Monitoring Vectorscope Display The Vectorscope is useful for monitoring the color balance and saturation of your Teranex’s converted video output. For instance, if your signal has a dominant green color cast then the majority of image information will be located towards the green area of the vectorscope. In comparison, an image with a neutral color balance will have information evenly distributed around the center. The center of the vectorscope represents zero saturation.
Waveform Monitoring Error Logging Display Error Logging records errors in video and audio and is indispensable for unattended operation, such as during long conversions. Errors may be logged for color, brightness or audio threshold levels as well as loss of video signal, change of video format or audio silence. After setting the parameters which define when an error should be logged, you can choose to start or stop error logging, save the log to a file, or clear the log.
