Encoder a hdmi input

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:53:41 Z

Does somebody has some good tips for me, to record a hdmi signal ? I just bought the Blackmagic Intensity card, but after installing the driver, it's not working and not supported by Expression Encoder ... Why ? I don' t know, and I don't understand it ... .

So,
1. Does somebody knows a good software to encoder my hdmi signal to wmv ?
2. What's the reason it works with Adobe Premiere, but not with Expression Encoder ? Is the problem my card, or the software ?

I would say that they wont support it because if they did it would violate copyrights.
if you could encode the stream from an HDMI interface you could connect a blue ray or a cable box to it and record HD content. Micosoft would be sued to high heaven.

1) I don't think that is the reason. Their is all kinds of ways to copy stuff, hdmi is not a special case. However, I have the same question. I want to output hdmi from a camera and broadcast live using encoder. So I was going to post the same question.

2) OT, but does anyone know if the the Flip video camera (or others) output live hdmi (i.e. bypassing the recording). I know the flip has hdmi output and it says it can't record when hdmi is connected, but can it send the live camera down the hdmi?

Expression Encoder 2 SP1 with the Blackmagic Entensity card is not compatible. It doens't work. So what I did is wrote my own WPF program with the DataStead SDK ... and that works very fine :) . So now I can record my hdmi output of my camera :)

That is interesting. I wonder if you could read the pipeline via DataStead sdk and write to iis streaming endpoint via Encoder sdk? Naturally, the easier solution is just get a hdmi card that Encoder can work with. Anyone have one working with Encoder? Also, as a side question, anyone know if these small video camerias (i.e. Flip, Creative labs) outputs live (not recorded) via their hdmi interface? tia

No in the DataStead SDK there also functionalities to connect to a publishing point on your IIS.

Maybe Encoder 3 is compatible with the blackmagic card ... if the version 3 will be released soon, I will try it
