  • Page 21: About Video Formats

    In the NTSC format, there are a total of 525 lines. Not all of these lines are part of the image. Some contain synchronization and other information. The TARGA 3000 digitizes CCIR 601 at 720 x 486 for NTSC, and 720 x 576 for PAL.

  • Page 22: About Video Sources

    The TARGA 3000 card with the TARGA Pro Analog Breakout Box accepts analog input in the form of S-Video (Y/C), Composite Video, and Component (YUV) video. The TARGA 3000 with the TARGA Pro Digital Breakout Box only accepts serial digital input.

    10,000 or better rpm ultra-2 wide drives, or a SCSI 160M, is essential in order for you to achieve the necessary data rates for optimal results.

  • Page 25: Calculating Disk Storage

    Calculating Disk Storage To determine how many minutes of video you can store per gigabyte (GByte) of disk space, you can use the following chart as a quick reference: KByte = 1,000 MByte* = 1,000,000 (as disk manufacturers define it) GByte = 1,000,000,000 __________________ KBytes...
  • Page 26 29.97 frames per second x 720 pixels wide x 486 pixels high x 2 bytes per pixel = 20,974,205 total bytes per second Two bytes per pixel comes from the fact that TARGA 3000 supports a compression that uses YUV 4:2:2 video. For every four pixels of video there is 4 bytes of Y, 2 bytes of U, and 2 bytes of V which is a total of eight bytes for every four pixels, or two bytes per pixel.

  • Page 27: Square Vs. Non-Square Pixels

    Some video products, such as the TARGA 3000, utilize resolutions with non-square pixels. As mentioned previously, the resolution of NTSC for TARGA 3000 is 720 x 480. On a video monitor, the video signal displays more pixels in the horizontal direction than in the vertical direction for a given length.

  • Page 28: Effects, Transitions, And Titles

    Note: The TARGA 3000 always works in native CCIR 601. No distortion will occur if TARGA 3000 effects, transitions, and titles are used. Also, no distortion will occur if the effects, transitions, and titles used are CCIR 601 compatible.

  • Page 29: About Targa 3000 Audio

    About TARGA 3000 Audio The audio rate that is supported by TARGA 3000 is 48 kHz, 16 bit, stereo. The TARGA 3000, when used with Adobe Premiere, will also support 44.1 kHz and 32 kHz via the sample rate conversion feature (which should always be set to “Best”) found in Adobe Premiere.

  • Page 30: Reliable And Non-Reliable Media Or Constructs

    Reliable And Non-Reliable Media Or Constructs The TARGA 3000 card streams a wide range of media and constructs in real time without dropping frames. Such media and timeline constructs are considered real-time reliable. There are some types of media and constructs though that will cause the TARGA to drop frames.

  • Page 31: Non-Reliable Real-Time Media

    The following is a list of non-reliable real-time media for TARGA 3000: • Video -- AVI video files compressed by compressors other than TARGA 3000, such as Cinepak. Video files in non-AVI format, such as .MOV files (QuickTime videos). Video files in frame sizes that are not in full-frame sizes of NTSC 720 x 486 or PAL 720 x 576, and at the NTSC frame rate of 29.97 fps or at the PAL frame rate of 25 fps.

    Pinnacle Technical Support. 1. What are the best drives for use with the TARGA 3000? How do I configure them? Why and when do I need a SCSI card or disk array? Which SCSI card is best for use with the TARGA 3000? The important things to remember are to use equipment that is Ultra-2-Wide or Ultra 160 SCSI that does 10,000 rpm or better and is Audio-Video (AV) rated.

    The first part of this guide provides a description of TARGA 3000 effects and how to use each part of the interface. The second part of the guide walks through the construction of a number of typical effects as examples on using the editor.

  • Page 139: The Difference Between Filters And Transitions

    The Difference Between Filters And Transitions Transitions and filters are treated in very similar ways in the TARGA 3000. A transition is an effect that combines two video input sources, and a filter is an effect that modifies just a single input source. The output of a transition is a video frame while the output of a filter is a video frame and a key signal that indicates how it should be keyed over elements beneath it in the timeline.

  • Page 140: Layout Of The Effects Factory

    -- This area allows you to play and step through an effect and see the overlay. • Parameter Pages -- This area allows you to set the specific parameters of each effect. • Keyframer -- This area allows you to control the way effects evolve over time. Pinnacle Systems TARGA 3000...

  • Page 141: Tree Builder

    Although at first this may seem complicated, this mode of operation is one of the features that makes the TARGA 3000 a powerful creative tool; it is drawn more from the core technology of compositing systems than from traditional editing systems.

  • Page 142: Node Types

    In addition there is an “Empty” node which indicates that there is “space” to attach an additional node at this point. This is because the number of inputs to the two effects primitives is fixed by the hardware and does not change. Pinnacle Systems TARGA 3000...

  • Page 149: Color

    Color Color correction in the TARGA 3000 is performed via a “Look-up Table.” This is also known as curve based color correction. A graph represents the way in which input color values are translated into output color values. The color corrector allows you to perform fine adjustments to the colors of the image. The curve defines the input to output transfer function of the color components.

    There are a number of different type of softness graphics that are shipped with the TARGA 3000 which appear in the graphics directory. Additional graphics can be added by using setup to add additional directories. These graphics can be used in creative ways to add sophisticated borders or other types of effect.

    Note that chroma keying is a fine art and it is hard to get perfect results. The TARGA 3000 chroma keyer can pull a good key off clean well-lit footage, but will be unable to perform perfect keys if the input is challenging. In cases where the key is too complex for the hardware keyer, we recommend you use the Primatte Keyer in the Commotion Pro package that accompanies some versions of the TARGA 3000.
