Since 1994, Tépper has been consulting both end-users and manufacturers via his Florida company. Via TecnoTur, Tépper has been giving video technology seminars in several South Florida’s universities and training centers, and in a half dozen Latin American countries, in their native language. Tépper has been a frequent radio/TV guest on several South Florida Latino stations, and on a couple of Venezuelan stations too. As a certified ATA (American Translators Association) translator, Tépper has also translated and localized dozens of advertisements, catalogs, software, and technical manuals for the Spanish and Latin American markets. Tépper’s most recent translation was the user interface for a Hong Kong company which makes a calling card application (BerryDialer) for Blackberry users. Over the past 17 years, Tépper’s articles have been published in more than a dozen magazines, newspapers, and electronic media in Latin America, mainly in Producción & Distribución and TTV. In 1998 Tépper founded SOPRÉPROC, the Sociedad para la preservación y progreso del castellano or Society for the Preservation and Evolution of the Castilian language (the world’s most widely used Spanish language). From 2000-2002, Tépper was also the editor of TTV, of the Izarra Group. From the end of 2006 until September 2007, Tépper was the co-director of the South Florida Final Cut Pro User Group.

Will your AJA IoHD give your DreamColor monitor a free ride?
If you own an IoHD device from AJA which you use as your input/output device for Final Cut Studio, it may give your HP DreamColor monitor a free ride. As explained in my recent article How to connect your HD evaluation monitor to your editing system properly: Let me count the ways!, the DreamColor monitor is quite attractive, yet quite demanding, since in order to allow use of its color engine (and therefore monitor in ITU-R BT.701 color space), the monitor demands that the incoming signal be both RGB (not component) and true progressive (not interlaced or even PsF). Since the HDMI output of your IoHD can be set up to be RGB, the fact that you own the IoHD may be (under certain circumstances) a “free ticket” for the DreamColor. more »

Will your Matrox i/o interface give your DreamColor a free ride?
If you own an MXO2, MXO2 Rack, or MXO2 Mini which you use as your input/output device for Final Cut Studio, it may give your HP DreamColor monitor a free ride. As explained in my recent article How to connect your HD evaluation monitor to your editing system properly: Let me count the ways!, the DreamColor monitor is quite attractive, yet quite demanding, since in order to allow use of its color engine (and therefore monitor in ITU-R BT.701 color space), the monitor demands that the incoming signal be both RGB (not component) and true progressive (not interlaced or even PsF). Since the HDMI output of your MX02, MXO2 Rack, or MXO2 Mini can be set up to be RGB, the fact that you own one of these interfaces may be (under certain circumstances) a “free ticket” for the DreamColor. more »How AJA’s new Hi5-3G may fix your DreamColor connection
The 30-bit (10-bit per channel) HP DreamColor monitor is quite attractive for the price, yet quite demanding regarding the type of input signals it accepts, as I explained on page 2 of my article How to connect your HD evaluation monitor to your editing system properly: Let me count the ways!. In order to have the color engine active (which is necessary to monitor in ITU-R BT.701 color space), the DreamColor demands that its input signal over HDMI be both RGB (not component) and progressive (not interlaced or even PsF). If your system doesn’t currently output RGB over HDMI… or if it does that, but doesn’t put out true progressive at the progressive framerate you are editing, then the US$690 Hi5-3G from AJA can help, since it can convert a component signal over HD-SDI (or even 3G-SDI) and deliver a real time RGB signal over HDMI. Specifically, the Hi5-3G can help if it receives a signal which is either true progressive or PsF, since it can easily convert PsF into true progressive… but it cannot do the same from a true interlaced signal. For that, you need a EXT-HDSDI-2-HDMIS from Gefen, which costs US$1299. For more details, see page 2 of the article called How to connect your HD evaluation monitor to your editing system properly: Let me count the ways! more »

How to connect your HD evaluation monitor to your editing system properly: Let me count the ways!It has become much more complex than just BNC, DVI, or HDMI
In this article, you will learn that the best way to connect can go way beyond the physical connections you see on your NLE’s professional interface and HD evaluation monitor. Believe it or not, it sometimes also depends upon whether you are editing interlaced or progressive… and also, whether your NLE’s professional interface card or box delivers an RGB or component signal over whatever video output connector(s) it has. Read on and you will see how this often does matter, and does affect the way you should connect! more »

Advertisement Sony Latin America also upgrades 3G HDV camcorders to universal, for a small feeNow Latin American videographers can also upgrade their Sony 3G HDV camcorder to 25p and world-class compatibility!
On February 10th, 2009, I informed our readers that Sony USA was offering upgrades to world-class compatibility on their 3G HDV camcorders. As explained in that first article, the Sony upgrade activates the otherwise dormant modes of these cameras, i.e. 576i PAL, HD 25p, and HD 50i modes, on top of the original “24p” (23.976p), “30p” (29.97p) and “60i” (59.94i) modes. Now I am happy to report that Sony BPLA (Sony Broadcast Professional Latin America) is offering the same upgrade on the same cameras in their region. more »nanoFlash recorder: Now lower price, and more featuresNow pay less, get independent audio input, native progressive recording, and under/overcrank
Convergent Design has announced a price reduction on their nanoFlash recorder, which we covered during the NAB on April 21st. Now the list price is US$2995 and more features have been added, including an analog audio input, over/undercrank, and native recording of 720p23.976/25/29.97 which comes from the camera with pulldown over 50p or 59.94p. In other words, the nanoFlash will remove the extra frames based upon the metadata. The nanoFlash recorder now offers over/undercranking of a pure 720p59.94p stream. more »Page 1 of 1 pages Advertisement |

Inspiration and the Housing Crisis
Housebuilding by Hand with Cinema 4D
When I first saw this very nicely done animation by “Beeble” I thought “what a great use of MoGraph - cloners, effectors, splines - incredible”. Then I looked through the comments and found the artist created the entire animation by hand. Even more incredible. It purports to be about the housing crisis, but it’s really just a cool animation of houses assembling and destructing. I love Cinema 4D even though I’m just a hacker at this point - so anyone who can really do something interesting with it inspires me to dig deeper.
