Noob questions here:
From what I read on the above posts, I understood there is a Video Editor Software included with the standard IRIX installation. Correct me pls if I am wrong as I never touched an SGI workstation before, mainly due to prices
I read also somewhere that an early version of Adobe Premiere can be used on IRIX, how it compares with the one mentioned before?
I have an older Sony VX2000 MiniDV camera, with standard, s-vhs and firewire connectors. I want to know how I can use it with a SGI? I want to transfer some tapes I have in miniDV and edit them then output them on VHS or save them in some compressed format on the HDD.
Are there SVHS in-out possible from the O2 with the standard hardware or you have to buy an extra card? What about the Octane, I understood Personal Video option is an extra card, but what kind of video in and out allows?
What is the quality of the video capture files? Do you experience dropped frames with SGI capture like I use to on PC's?
Can those machines read jpg files from PC's or is a different format.
Can O2 or Octane render a series of TGA, JPG or TIF frames to an avi file, or mpeg?
And the higher digital options I guess do not support modern firewire, no?
Also, what are the prices for those video boards, if they are not integrated in the original system?
