Moving forward with video project: Advice?
I would like advice or corrections on the setup I've acquired.
Panasonic AG-1980P Pentium 4 Intel D945GNT Mobo 3.0ghz 2.0gb Pc5300 DDR2 Turtle Beach TB400-3355-01 PCI (In transit) ATI Rage 128 All-In-Wonder PCI (Non-Pro) Two separate breakout boxes/dongles Unused ATI Rage Theater All-In-Wonder AGP 7500 To Purchase AVT 8710 (Green) After receiving a failing AG-1980P I was able to obtain a clean, perfectly working one. After a test of multiple tapes and learning the functions it appears I lucked out on this and all seems to be well. Clean signal. Bright display. A cleaning may be in order; but much better quality than my last one I received. The capture machine was sourced for free; and it only has PCI slots. As for the ATI's; these were both bought new and used for some primitive captures in the early 2000s. I've performed a few test captures with the PCI card (manufactured 1999); and will likely just use it unless there any reason the AGP card (man. 2001) would be superior. With some reading I didn't see anything to suggest it other than being able to use a higher MMC. The Turtle Beach sound card is a cheap, non-5.1 card. I couldn't source any of my old Soundblaster cards in storage, but from what I've read any cards from a decent company should suffice and work well. I believe the last piece of the puzzle before I begin learning will be the AVT 8710 (preferably green). When I started putting the project I saw a dozen or so brand new on Amazon for a decent price (165?) but I am guessing those have all been bought up. I'll keep an eye out for some more to show up. Any other suggestions? Thanks! |
- VCR, CPU, RAM, motherboard, audio card = all seem fine
- VCR = hopefully you don't run into caps issues. If so, then use TGrant Photo/Video for repairs. - ATI non-AIW = may not be useful; does it have the good Rage Theatre chipset? - ATI AIW = good, why not use it? - AVT-8710 = green is older non-issue model, great unit, if you still need one, PM me; Amazon probably had the wrong picture for black units |
