05 Июн. 2015 г.Gopro 2They are sticking the mini-USB plug on the charger into the GoPro and plugging the other end directly into the wall. Another good habit to get into is to properly stain-relieve all connections and tape them up. The light down to the truck is changed back to HDSDI using the second half of the rattler adapter and brought into the truck with very little loss. The Hero2 also has the analog mini hole and breakout cable to get standard definition RCA video into the truck if you want the 480p signal instead of HD. Literally, I’ve fallen asleep whispering out for a compact camera to shoot 120 frames per second. If you are working in a sports arena that is older than 3-5 years, there is a good chance that the cable run in the conduit is regular coax and will not pass HDSDI.But these rattlers are expensive, you need a building with free single mode fiber and you have now made a $300 locked-down camera cost much more. After charging the battery for a bit, unplug the charger and set up the camera on battery power. Because of its simple design, the menus can be a bit tricky to scroll through, although there are, thankfully, only a few settings to configure. This has all the holes needed in the case to keep the GoPro protected and get the wires connected. The Hero cameras have a standard two prong receiver mount on the bottom of all their cases. Another thing I figured out after trial and error is that you must charge the GoPro battery to about 25 percent before you use it off AC power. The folks at CBS are thing outside the box and trying to power the camera using third party (Motorola branded) cell phone chargers. First, plug the usb cell phone charger into the GoPro camera and make sure the red light on the front lights up. But whether it was filming my feet walking on my log or looking out of a perfect sunrise tube, the images I got from this little slick silver brick always fueled my guilty pleasure. You would only use this analog connection and output if you had a standard definition show. I am constantly unable to run power extension for them and use USB battery packs and they can power it for hours, even days in time-lapse mode. However, the occasional free-throw behind the backboard cut in live to show the ball going in could work. This digital signal is carried on coaxial 4.5 GHZ high definition rated video cable with BNC connectors. The Hero1 camera includes the break out cable, the Hero2 only comes with an analog cable, you need to buy a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable. The power requirements are 5 volts, 500-1000 milliamps which is what almost all cell phone chargers put out. I was surprised that in ideal conditions the GoPro Hero1 cut quite well with broadcast rigs worth $100,000.00. Quik Pod is a monopod made to be used with Go Pro and lets the user take his or her own photo. It includes a number of different mounting tools so that you can affix it to a helmet, skateboard, or anything else you can imagine. I tried several different power supplies and noticed that only certain ones worked properly. Talking to CBS Sports tech managers from cities all over the US, the biggest problem with these GoPros working is getting pictures back to the truck. The biggest difference (as far of connections go) between the Hero1 and Hero2 is the HD output. I haven’t tested it, but a friend told me there is a 3-4 frames (25fps) delay on the output, not making the GoPro ideal for live production. When there is limited personal or decks, these tiny cameras steal replays from a hard working hand held camera operator under the basket. As a DP, these are an excellent way to add another hard to get angle of the subject you are shooting and the story you are telling. But certain steps must be followed exactly to keep GoPros powered up and get pictures back to the truck. To help you visualize the setup with Hero1 cameras, please watch the twitvid below from a college hockey game. I bought my Hero1 less than a year ago as I had the opportunity to visit a Peregrine Falcon nest at the top of our clock tower. Almost one year to the day after releasing their HERO 2 in 2011, GoPro has announced the release of their triad of Hero 3 cameras.Raising money for his compact camera idea by selling shell belts out of his VW van, GoPro founder and California surfer Nick Woodman announced the release of the HERO 3 less than 8 years since the release of his 35mm film model in 2004. You may want a super wide fisheye shot from behind a hockey goal or a less-distorted wide shot of a basketball court. CBS is using 5 volt .5 amp Motorola cell phone chargers and sometimes, these are not strong enough to keep these camera running. This converter box is just like the one mentioned above, but takes HDMI instead of component HD. Since then we went back to the nest but my shots didnt come out as well due to the camera being bumped and tilted upwards (tall guy bumped it on doorway). Also, be sure to power the camera up first, on the battery, wait a second, then plug in the mini-usb cell phone charger to bypass the battery and run off wall power. A scary proposition when you MUST have the camera working the entire game and match the other cameras on the show! This piece of machinery is expensive and most trucks only have a small number of inputs that can be dedicated to GoPros. The GoPro case could have dust inside the lens area and this will show up on screen because the lens is very wide. For some unknown reason, using a dead battery and the power supply results in failure after a few minutes of ac power. This little $80 accessory attaches directly to the back of the GoPro camera and gives you a tiny monitor to frame the camera. The original Hero1 camera has a complicated menu system requiring the operation manual close by that I will only touch upon in this blog. I’m looking for a cheap solution to livestream Mountain Bike Races and this system looks fantastic. CBS have been shipping these GoPro cameras (old model Hero1 currently) around in Pelican cases to games all over the United States. I will break this blog down and try to explain to you how to get either a GoPro Hero1 or Hero2 working properly. And now GoPro has released a Hero2 new model that has sharper optics, an easy to navigate menu, better light sensitivity and more recording options. For under $300 you get a tiny wide angle 16:9 1080p camera that is also a self contained video camcorder. Be sure to turn the LCD screen off, after positioning and framing the camera, then plug in the ac usb power. The cable run must be under 300 feet or you will need re-clocking repeaters to push the signal along. The Hero2 is much more user friendly with a detailed LCD panel showing you exactly what format you are in. God, I wish I had this whilst trying to get my $15,000 super 16mm tail cam to trigger remotely off the distant island chain in Indo with Rasta in 2005! This is not compatible and a converter box is required to change the cameras output to HDSDI. We encountered similar problems with signal processing, but since we were using my GoPro2, we just connected it to an AJA KiPro, and sent the signal out via HDSDI to our Rattler. I recommend slightly higher than .5 amps if possible and closer to 1 full amp to keep the camera going.  As I type this blog, GoPro does not have an AC power supply for this camera on its website for sale. The GoPro HD Hero2 Outdoor Edition is a compact camcorder designed to record your extreme adventures. While the HERO HD bulked its package up considerably, making it almost unusable as a head camera, this model as gone dramatically in the other direction opening up a whole new world of mounting possibilities on the rider as well as cheaper drones. There is also an analog RCA video and stereo audio cable to pull standard definition out of the Hero1. The GoPro company makes a bunch of accessories for mounting these little cameras on almost anything. It largely alleviates the problem with the GoPros of years past with their annoying bubble distortion. If you want, you could drill through the side of the case to clear a path for the connection cables. I have 4 GoPro cameras in my dirt track race car but can’t figure out how to get them to sync to the same time. Using an inexpensive (sold separately) mini-HDMI to HDMI cable, you connect the GoPro Hero2 to a HDMI to HDSDI converter box. But many of you may not know that these little cameras can output analog and HD signals that can be fed into a live production truck. In the past, I’ve had to go through each file frame-by-frame to set them to the same time but it isnt exact. I am running into a problem trying to get the HDMI signal from the GOPRO HD2 to a ATEm TELEVISION STUDIO by BLACKMAGIC. I even put it through a UpDownCross Converter from black magic and still could only get 720p. I have mostly worked with Hero1 cameras with CBS, but the theory of converter boxes, HDSDI cable lengths, power supplies, protective cases and use of Evertz is the same with Hero2 cameras using HDMI out. After speaking to many who have failed keeping the camera running off wall power, I did a few experiments. The top button is used to start recording, grab a photo, and navigate through the menu system. I have been experimenting with these cameras on college basketball games with CBS Sports Network. Whether you're skydiving, rock climbing, or snowboarding, the Hero2 can survive the elements thanks to its sophisticated protective case. This point of attachment lets you place suction cup mounts, bar mounts, ect directly to the housing. On the broadcasts I have been on, the director mostly used these cameras as an alternate angle to post graphics, score and stats over. You can choose between three different video modes and control the volume of the beeps that the camera makes to confirm that it's recording, and that's about it. The HERO 3 does this at 720p, which is what we output all of our High Def video to at Korduroy. We have found that the new Hero 2 with the newer firmware is not compatible with our 2 ME Black Magic switcher. These are a bit more expensive and do the same thing as the Black Magic units, simply convert one type of HD signal to another. These little adapters use single mode fiber in a venue (if it is available) to convert HDSDI signals to light. I’ve been looking into opening up more ways to use GoPros and other inexpensive cameras to create unique production styles. I use the 2 USB connector 5 volt, 2 AMP (1 AMP on each USB connector) ExtremeMac IPU-ICH-11 10 Watt chargers. The Evertz is vital to crank the detail, bring up the exposure and match the colors of the cheap GoPro to match the other cameras on the show. Adding the protective housing to the GoPro increases its weight a fair amount, bringing it up to 5.9 ounces. I would hate to be a cameraman busting my back to cover the action, only to see a fixed lock-down shot mounted high behind me get replayed over and over on the broadcast. This blog post will tell you how to do it and why most attempts to get these to work as live POVs prove to be an epic failure. These are cheap connectors and cables, if you pull on them, the camera will cut out… or worse you will do permanent damage. I’m hoping to use my GoPro2 again in future games and other events, but I keep running into the cabling issue. The GoPro HD Hero2 is a rugged HD video camera that can take a beating and go deep underwater. In the years since, GoPro has morphed from a plastic toy, into an annoying fixture on the nose of kooks boards and glory seekers (including myself).В I can remember sheepishly taking one down to the beach the first few times stuffed inside the cuff of my wetsuit. Instead, it took place earlier this summer with the quiet release of their free ProTune firmware update, the fruit of their recent acquisition of the software company CineForm, whose codec was used in the production of Slumdog Millionaire. You are now ready to mount this camera, plug in ac cell phone charger for power and set up the rest of the gear to get the pictures back to the truck. And while efficient codecs are milking smaller and smaller data streams, a lot of what you pay for is your camera’s data stream. The camera is a silver cuboid with two control buttons, a monochrome LCD, and a wide-angle lens. Almost all professional television trucks require the incoming HD video signal to be HDSDI. Because the menus can take some time to operate, it's probably a good idea to take the time to navigate through them during some downtime. The idea is to compliment the very expensive broadcast cameras used to televise the games with points of view (POVs) that are rarely seen in sports. It is important to understand that these little cameras are format, frame rate and field of view switchable. No company would dare say that it will work beyond that, but I’ve seldom seen it not work at lengths challenging that. CBS mostly uses the GoPros as non-essential slam cams mounted to the backboard, wide beauty shots high in the nose bleed section or as creative angles court side. As you'll probably most often use the camera when it's mounted to your helmet, there has to be some sort of confirmation to let you know when the camera starts to record footage. Try not to mess with the other settings in the camera unless you completely understand the operations manual. If you follow these guidelines exactly, these camera will stay powered up and passing video all day long. The front button acts as a power toggle and mode selector; tapping it cycles through video recording, still capture, burst still capture, and the settings menu. This new attachment will allow you to frame and control the camera wireless with a smart phone. I’ve got 32 of these cameras, and it never ceases to amaze me the new things people come up with on how to use them! I spoke with a truck engineer and video technician about what needs to be done to get the weak HDSDI signal from the GoPro into the truck switcher. It appears that I can only get the signal to broadcast over about 20 feet, but the cords I am running are 50 feet. If you have serious problems, power cycle the camera by removing the battery for one full minute.  |
