Live Camera

I would like to record a live camera together with analogue audio to a computer's hard drive.

The camera would be 1080 HD with HDMI or USB out, such as Sony CX730E camcorder.
Can anyone recommend a capture device from Blackmagic products, maybe UltraStudio 3D.

The PC would be running windows 7 or 8, software program like Avid HD or Adobe Premiere HD.
Do we need USB 3?

Its notebook? Or desktop pc? For pc is better internal card.. Decklink studio or 3d

We would like a separate capture box to link Laptop or PC via USB.


record left and right stereo audio tracks, also require analogue timecode to be recorded onto a spare audio track.

output from camera 1081 interlaced 50Hz via HDMI connector.

any suggestions!

i think , there are no HW from BMD with 3 analog audio inputs ..

and for USB , search this forum .. there are lot of posts with problems with USB chipsets ..

One approach that might work for you:

1) Use an "HDMI to SDI Miniconverter" to convert the camera feed. (This also lets you run rather long coaxial cable from the camera position to wherever you want to locate the recorder... HDMI is very limited for distance.)

2) Feed the SDI through an "Audio to SDI Miniconverter" to embed up to four additional analog audio channels into it;

3) Send the result to a recorder -- something like the H.264 Pro recorder should do the trick.

The recorder can handle up to 16 channels of embedded audio, if I remember correctly.
