    I will say, Paul, the video that the camera picked up THROUGH OBS with your compression WAS DROPPING FRAMES OFTEN, making the video hard to watch personally.
    As a viewer, I'd say do NOT make videos with it yet until the software you use gets updated to support the camera/capture card's 4k imput.

    • @paulshardware
      @paulshardware  8 років тому +21

      It does just fine capturing 4K 8-bit from the GH4 so I'll probably do that for now, I need to set up faster storage to capture the higher bit rate option though, I think that's what was causing the dropped frames

    • @HLPC_2
      @HLPC_2 8 років тому +11

      Paul's Hardware Oh yeah, I forgot you mentioned the slow external storage! If the frames stop dropping with something faster, then awesome!
      On that note, OHH MAN Paul replied to my comment. This made my day!

    Paul, I recognize you are thousands of miles ahead of me, technology-wise. My question about this DeckLink Mini Recorder 4K is waaay less complicated. Never mind 4K, either (LOL). I have been able to capture video from the TV using it and the Blackmagic Media Express, but I have been unable to hear the audio of any given portion of captured media WHILE I am capturing it. The audio is there and I can hear it only AFTER I perform the capturing process. Would you know the trick to make it happen? BTW, I am using a MacPro (Late 2013 model) and the DeckLink is inside a Sonnet Echo Thunderbolt 2 box. Thanks for your attention!

  • @pkr1345
    @pkr1345 8 років тому +10

    Does it seem like when he tried the card out with the camera, the 24FPS seemed a bit stuttery?

    • @jazzyboydc
      @jazzyboydc 3 роки тому

      Yes. Normal video has a frame rate of 30 frames per second. 24 frames per second video will look slow or stuttery. To some video producers that is a desired look. It looks more like film. Because movies are shot using 24 frames per second. So that is actually not the fault of the capture card. That's just the frame rate that was selected. I went to school for video production that's how I know these things

  • @drink15

    It needs a heatsink and fan. Just waiting for Jayz2 to watercool it now.

    • @robodog7610
      @robodog7610 8 років тому

    @thenerdycanadian7172 8 років тому +1

    anyone else notice the video get choppy when it switched to the capture card recording at around 7:00 ? i think it's because of it recording at 24fps but the video is rendered at 30fps

  • @tektechnician
    @tektechnician 8 років тому

    Paul I've used the black magic decklink cards for sometime and here is my experience with them. The cards just downright don't support any other screen ratios apart from 16:9 and some random 4:3 resolutions and also using the decklink with PCs as input requires the pc to be outputting 30 fps in the graphics driver. If you ever get a black screen in media express, chances are it is incompatible settings and resolution. Black magic products are built for very specific situations and they don't tend to get updated with features often. Even my Black magic camera doesn't have a delete function :)

  • @elan_07
    @elan_07 8 років тому

    Be interesting to see how this works out in the future. When I upgrade my PC I'm thinking about using the old one to as a streaming rig, but this hinges on 4k capture cards being up to the job!

  • @JinKongiPC
    @JinKongiPC 8 років тому

    have you tried to use obs via nvenc? if you go to advance setting and choose nvenc preset to "lossless" you can get very high bitrate video (about 3.4gb per min) and I am not sure about color sertings but try nvenc lossless settings. (no frame drop)

  • @maxcypond
    @maxcypond 8 років тому

    Yeah, I'd love to hear more. In fact, a bit more about capture would be great.

  • @yurimodin7333
    @yurimodin7333 8 років тому +3

    Paul. I Could be wrong but I remember reading somewhere that if you feed some of those capture devices more FPS than they are meant for they will not work IIRC. I could be wrong, just throwing that out there.

    Your problem is propably HDCP2.2 related. HDCP is a bitch. It works fine with 1 source and 1 screen, but it starts bitching around the more you are trying to do.
    get a HDMI 2.0 Splitter with edid emulation and you should be fine
    However, thats the reason SDI is so popular in broadcast situations. It just works and has no hdcp crap embedded

  • @DoSGamingNetwork
    @DoSGamingNetwork 7 років тому

    I am thinking about purchasing this for OBS 4K streaming/recording. I have a HDMI 2.0b splitter that works for outputting 4K60 to my monitor and to a Smartooo 36r1 downscaler that scales the 2160p60 to 1080p60 for my Elgato HD60 Pro. Everything works perfectly but unfortunately only captures 1080p60. My question is will the Decklink Mini Recorder 4K accept a 2160p60 signal and capture at 2160p30? I would be using the device to capture gameplay from a Playstation 4 Pro and it only outputs 2160p60 as it's 4K resolution. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sir.

    The disadvantage to using anything Blackmagic has always been software support. Their hardware seems to be able to do what it says but the number of hoops you have to jump through and the amount of problems that it seems to generate are generally not worth the hassle.

  • @UniquePhotoandVideo
    @UniquePhotoandVideo 8 років тому +8

    Paul, this is completely unnecessary for recording videos for UA-cam. Having 10 Bit color will only increase storage requirements, and slow down your workflow. PC screen capture might be useful, but 21:9 capture will have letter boxing making the image difficult to view for your audience. I do have some experience with capture cards. Thank you for the awesome reviews and tutorials!

    • @paulshardware
      @paulshardware  8 років тому +10

      The main reason I want to capture 21:9 3440x1440 is so I can run live gaming benchmarks and show the actual footage/framerate. I agree that 10bit color is wasted on UA-cam, but having better source footage can improve the quality of final renders. Thanks for the comment!

    • @The76Malibu
      @The76Malibu 8 років тому +1

      He might be trying to future-proof himself. When HDR monitors become more popular his 10 Bit videos will look much better than other channels on those monitors.

    • @UniquePhotoandVideo
      @UniquePhotoandVideo 8 років тому +2

      Lars Bolduc Interesting Idea. The Dynamic Range is determined and limited by the camera's sensor. 10 Bit refers to the amount of color data. As of today, UA-cam will not accept HDR videos. Unless the final media is 4K Blu-ray with Dolby Vision or HDR10, the cost and storage requirements increase exponentially. Camera tech is changing and improving each year, future proofing for web content is difficult.

    • @UniquePhotoandVideo
      @UniquePhotoandVideo 8 років тому

      Lars Bolduc I had the opportunity to play my 4K footage on a 4K UHD 10 Bit HDR TV. The image looked amazing! Streaming 10 Bit HDR video will need an incredibly fast connection and processor.

    • @The76Malibu
      @The76Malibu 8 років тому

      I understand it's definitely not possible today, but maybe UA-cam will someday open up the option for HDR video. I'm very excited for HDR, can't wait for the Windows update which will bring HDR support and for monitors to come out so I can buy one!

    • @mrkagouris5609
      @mrkagouris5609 8 років тому +3

      Some cameras support settings (either resolution, color, or framerate related) that can't work with internal storage because SD cards are generally too slow. The direct link to PC is also convenient because editorial staff don't have to go back and forth between the camera and the PC when they need to change some settings or check if the video is correct.

      Capture cards are best used for live broadcast signals. Depending on the camera, recording to a PC/capture card allows for uncompressed capture right from the camera's sensor. Writing to a memory card in the camera most often requires compression reducing image quality and color information.

    Hey Paul, I have Windows 10 Pro installed on an hdd in my old pc, if I move that hdd to a new pc, (new hardware), will Windows deactivate, and if so, do I just need to type in the product key again to reactivate? Also, this is a legit version of Windows, not bought off of a shady website.
    I know I asked this on an older video, but I'm asking again because it's an older video, I don't know if you still check those comments. Thanks for all of your help!

    Are you using this card still? I am looking for a card that can capture 4K (UHD), but also 2560x1440 as I don't want to record footage on the PC I'm playing with. 30 FPS is fine. Do you know if this card accepts the 2560x1440 resolution?

    • @VikingDudee
      @VikingDudee 8 років тому

      Yeah I would not go lower than 30 fps for even b roll, the rendered videos are going to be 30fps which im fine with for reviews, but 30fps for the entire review with a 24fps b roll, its gonna look weird and not look smooth. Maybe if the entire video was in 24fps maybe but I can't stand 24fps on youtube.

    • @VikingDudee
      @VikingDudee 8 років тому

      Jacob Frashure Well Our don't see in FPS, and to successfully make 24fps fluid, you have to use different techniques like in the movies, there is a reason why fast movement looks smooth at 24fps on your TV, I sure as hell can see 24 fps though, anywhere after 40fps looks smooth to me, others are different, not everyone is the same.

    so what are you gonna do about 4k video game capture in the mean time (while they update their shit)? Have you ever used Atomos anything before? I've always gone by the moniker "buy the best because it lasts (quality and tech upgrade wise) and usually does what you want it to without much BS" and that has kept me from spending more in the long run.

    i think for 4k capture using lossless format 3Gb/s is perfectly normal. and it's not like you're gonna greenscreen heavily for vfx/ color grade intensively, 8 bit is just fine. in fact if it offers efficiently high compression like h265, you'd be just fine with it

    maybe the gtx 1080 is outputting with HDCP ? in that case you NEED the hdmi IN/OUT so the card/gtx can sense the HDCP from the monitor and allow the signal to go thro . had the same issue with my canon 650D it WOULD NOT allow me to capture anything with the elgato HD60 UNLESS i had it connected to my monitor (i switched the signal in on the monitor to DVI to use it and the capture still works )
