What actually is Transmit?

May 15, 2012 1:42 AM

I started extolling the virtues of Transmit (as in CS6) to an Avid editor colleague this morning...until it became apparent to myself (and my colleague) ...that I had no idea what I was talking about!

 

Is it a hidden background function...because there is no mention of the term in preferences, windows, option, menus etc????

 

So what is it ...and whats so amazing about it huh?

    I believe it's an API that allows third-parties an easier path to hook into the video than was previously possible.

    Jim's explanation is correct.

     

    In the past, third-party I/O hardware makers had to write their own players to get video out of sequences in Premiere Pro. Now, all they have to do is write a very simple plug-in to receive video frames from Premiere Pro.

     

    One of the benefits is that Premiere Pro can use all of its intrinsic performance features to create these frames and then hand them off. This means, among other things, that we are now past the limtiaiton that existed in Premiere Pro CS5.5 in which you had to pick between video output and GPU acceleration. Now you can have both working at once.

     

    The video that Ann points to is pretty good.

    I just need video playback in a HDTV for my clients.

     

    I'm looking at BMD intensity pro and intensity shuttle usb 3, anyone knows if this hardware will work with the new CS6?

    I have successfully tested the USB 3.0 Intensity Shuttle with CS6. Just download the latest drivers from Blakmagic Design's website.

    How do you like it?  Are you able to adjust the output settings in the BM driver dialog?  (For example, if you're working in a 1080p/24 sequence, but your monitor won't accept 1080p, only 1080i, can you adjust the Shuttle to do that conversion?)

    Good to know that it's working for you. My concern about the USB 3.0 Intensity Shuttle is that BMD stated that it uses the Renesas usb 3.0 driver.

    But my mobo is using the Asmedia usb 3.0 driver. Will this work??

    @ Jim

     

    Sorry, but I can't answer your questions.

    I only briefly played with the Shuttle connected to my workstation before selling it off as I couldn't get it to work with my Dell Precision M66000 laptop.

    I subsequently purchased the Matrox MXO2 Mini as an alternative. It works very well with CS5.5. But drivers for CS6 have yet to be released.

    I don't know. All I know is that it works with Asus motherboards like my old P6X58 and my new P9X79 WS.
