Hi all,

I am planning to buy a DVX100 PAL, which has 25p PAL mode.
further I may buy AVID express pro.

Is this is okay, since I heard AVID express pro has no 25p PAL format handling

I appreiate any comment

Thanks
 
Re: AVid Express Pro for 25p PAL

Xpress Pro currently ships with 25i support meaning you can capture from the DVX100, but it will be treated as interlace for all effects etc. (1/50th). The December (later this month) update will have the 25p project type so you can treat everything progressive (1/25th) for effects etc.

Thank you for your information :)

BTW, What kind of update will be available ? The whole new AEP version or just a downloaded patch ?

Re: AVid Express Pro for 25p PAL

Micheal, what new application are you talking about?
 
Re: AVid Express Pro for 25p PAL

As in new application, I mean an update to the v.1.1 application. By patch I understood a small file update, but the PAL 25p support will be a new updated application v.1.1.x... Sorry ofr the confusion.

Michael, I will switch to AEP soon.
Please suggest me about graphic card, ( I wat to set up a client monitor )
Will any dual head graphic card with a tv out/svideo out work ? A NVidia GF 4200 maybe ?

Thanks
 
Re: AVid Express Pro for 25p PAL

On windows, I have has good luck using the Matrox Parhelia card for a two computer monitor and a client monitor configuration. The Parhelia sends out the video overlay to the client monitor. Keep in mind that it makes for a reasonable good client monitor, but the video window is 1/2 rez so you won't have the full vertical resolution unless you come out via the FireWire connection.

Thanks for advice :)
BTW, if the video window on client monitor is 1/2 rez, is that mean 320x288 ?
 
Re: AVid Express Pro for 25p PAL

Close, what I mean by 1/2 rez is that the you will get a 720x576 (PAL) image size, but the field 1 is just a repeat of field 2 with vertical line interpolation.
