LZX Video Synth Techniques: Post Production Workflow
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2024
- In this web video series we demonstrate techniques for capturing the output of the LZX Industries EuroRack Modular Video Synthesizer system. This installment covers the methods and tools for taking your work beyond modules and into the world at large.
Note: @9:40 The BMD Updowncross does not accept component/composite inputs. It will require a suitable analog to sdi/hdmi converter when used with the Visual Cortex or Vidiot.

been searching for something like this for YEARS. thank you
Update II: Finally replaced the Itensity Shuttle with a Blackmagic Hyperdeck Mini. Signal goes: LZX Visual Cortex (NTSC) into Blackmagic Miniconverter Analog to SDI into Decimator MDHX where it is upscaled to HD into the Hyperdeck. Works perfecly, resulting in smooth high definition images and with no computer involved.
a much needed tutorial, thank you. One additional topic maybe to explore is the process of synchronising the audio recording with video recording as video synths exist exclusively in audio environments, people usually need to capture both and use separate devices for that. I'm using a Zoom recorder for the audio and synchronising recorded audio with the recorded video in post-production is far from being a seamless process.
The narration on this is very satisfying.
Thank you, friend.
God, this video is a great in-depth source of information, but when you speak about all the hardware, my wallet feels empty, and stomach growls.
Update: I learned the Blackmagic Intensity shuttle seems to be picky about what hardware is running the usb 3.0 connection. In my case, it causes the Intensity shuttle regularly to freeze. But that is a motherboard/usb issue. Make sure your hardware is running properly with the Intensity.
The Intensity shuttle works fine with the Visual Cortex Component Output!
But here is a signalpath, that works now great for me (though I'm using more components than are usually required): Visual Cortex Composit-Out goes in Blackmagicdesign Miniconverter Analog to SDI, goes into Decimator MD-HX, processing to 1080p30, HDMI-Out goes into Intensity Shuttle HDMI-In.
Resulting in extremly smooth colors and high resolution without any artefacts.
thank you for being so clear on potentially tricky areas, its so so useful.
thank you so much for the upload!
this is the video that all we need !!!
So helpful.
Thank you. So helpful
holy shit where am i
they used the camera technique to do video transfers of film to video back in the day.
Great tutorial!! If I undestood correctly I can use the Blackmagic UpDownCross to link a digital display instead of using an analog one?
To record the output of the UpDownCross to the PC do I need another hardware like the Intensity Shutlle? Or is just enough one of this 2 device to record into the Pc? Sorry I am a lil confused. Thanks a lot
yes, you need a capture like intensity shuttle to your pc to save the image...
Thank you so much for this!! Though I'm still a little confused, trying to see if one of these setups will work.
LZX > BM UpDownCross > BM HyperDeck Studio 2 ?
Or
LZX > Decimator MD-HX > BM HyperDeck Studio 2 ?
That's close. You would need to convert your LZX analog signal to SDI before the UpDownCross or Decimator.
@@lzxindustries Thank you! So I would still need something like the BM Mini Converter Analog to SDI between the LZX and the UpDownCross ?
That'd do the trick, yes.
So in theory if I have a Teranex Mini Analog to SDI and a blackmagic Video Assist with no need to buy another converter at beginning of chain since the Teranex has that built in? I’m just trying to keep it as simple as possible if that’s possible. Thanks for any feedback and the video was much appreciative.
That setup should work great.
Teranex Mini Analog to SDI 12G Converter to HyperDeck Studio Mini with an HDMI monitor for monitoring should be sufficient. Is that correct?
Correct.
lovly tutorial :) noob here, is there a way to input digital footage in to a video synth? or some how converting digital in to analog and then the process in the video? and is video synth compatible with cv inputs? grettings from italy
Thanks for the questions. Any format can be converted into any other, so getting your digital footage into a video synthesizer is possible with the right equipment. LZX video synthesizers accept all the CV you can to throw at them, but some signals are best scaled to a 0-1V range.
@@lzxindustries damn thx for the fast answer :) !! Now i think its time to save some money hahahaha greetings
hi there, i'm a bit confused, maybe someone can help me out here. i own a blackmagic intesity shuttle, a black magic analog to SDI miniconverter and a Decimator MD-HX. But none of the devices can handle the output of the Visual Cortex. The Decimator needs an digital signal, and blackmagicdevices in general do not accept the NTSC 480i from the VC, it only accepts NTSC 525i. (which is broadcast-standart). is there anyone who would give me a hint how to make it work. thank you!
525i and 480i are the same format (NTSC) The nomenclature is referring to total scanlines vs visible scanlines (vertical resolution.)
@@lzxindustries Oh. Thanks you. Obviously I didn't know that. I wonder now what in my signalpath might be flawed.
