|  is there a (slave) software video player that follows timecode (mtc or smpte)? hallo software gearslutz I'm doing more and more ad/synchronization/scoring jobs lately - often with uncompressed video material I get on an external FW hdd. I was just about to get a rosendahl bonsaidrive when I realised they had forgotten a fw/usb2 port where I can connect the external hdd's with uncompressed video material. Sad but truely useless. So I wonder if there is any software based video player (I would run on a separate computer - PC, no Mac (I read about virtual VTR for OSX, it's something like that I'm looking for) - where I can connect the hdds I get from the film studios) that follows midi time code (generated by my daw sequencer host). I don't want to use the video playback of my audio workstation since I need full screen video playback on two monitors and full audio processing power for my daw. The software should just be a simple syncable multi format video player that follows my soundtrack's timecode - no gimmicks, no bells&whistles. Any hints very much appreciated - thanks! |

| the Sneaker Pimps used virtual vtr LIVE, for a long time, they were generally very happy with it!

If you know any software products, please tell me some names. Thanks! toolskid: I've already checked out virtual vtr as I wrote - I just don't want to buy a Mac when I can build a dedicated video server barebone myself that suits all my hardware needs. My problem is that I need virtual vtr (or something alike) for PC. If you heard about any PC-based software solution that does the same, any product recommendation is very much appreciated! | |

Maybe I'd just have to get a Mac for fun before they turn into PCs too, next year. :-) | |

| You might want to check this out. It's called the Pyxis, by AV Media/Fairlight. You can contact Media Gear for more details, so I'll leave you a link to their page. From there you can go to the Fairlight page. The Fairlight site uses frames or something, so you'll have to navigate to Pyxis from there yourself. Download the brochure. Not sure what this costs.

| On a movie scoring session I used a mac computer with a video card running digital perfomer with a MOTU midi inteface... worked like a charm. It was three computers running all together. MASTER: DP rig with electronic elements SLAVE 1: PRO TOOLS HD with orchestra SLAVE 2: a second DP rig with the hardware mentioned above

| I'd just go for a second computer running your favourite DAW software (or maybe a save disabled demo) with the video full screen synced to the first via MIDI. Cheers. James. |

| There's a program called xjadeo (xjadeo - X11 jack video monitor) which works great on Linux. it's supposed to run on OS X as well but there doesn't seem to be a download available on the site. xjadeo plays a video file and syncs to MTC/MMC If you've got an unused Windows box sitting around, you could try Studio to Go! - Home You just make the computer boot directly from the CDROM and then you can run the xjadeo program. -Ben |
