[AG-TECH] ExtendedVideoProducer question

[John Toenjes UIUC]

I don¹t know why it happens, but it has happened to me as well. It always
was a problem when plugging a camera directly into the Firewire port on the
PC. When I go into the DFG1394 and then into the Firewire port, everything
is fine.

So, it¹s not just you.

Sincerely,

John

Subject: [AG-TECH] ExtendedVideoProducer question

Hi there,
 
Been looking into the ExtendedVideoConsumer and Producer for Access Grid 2.4
& 3.0.2. I am coming across a problem I am hoping is easy to fix. Once I
have setup a DV stream and transmitting it, when I receive the stream it
comes out all blocky. I have attached an image of my DV stream with my hand
in front of the camera . This is the case for both versions made for AG2.4
and 3.0.2.
 
I downloaded the latest version of DVTS and connected via multicast using
DVTS interface and everything worked fine. I tried two different setups, one
with our DV camcorder plugged directly into the WinXP computer, and the
other setup of having a DV bridge and plugging the camcorder in via
composite to the DV bridge and then firewire from the bridge to the PC.
 
Could it be that this is due to a PAL issue? Or could it be due to a
bug/previous version in DVTS when the ExtendedVideo was compiled?
 
Has anyone else come across this issue? It would be great to get this
resolved so we can use DV over Access Grid.
 
 
 
Kind regards,
