DVCAM 4 channel audio

[logicom]

Hi,

I am using Adobe Premiere CS 4.2 with Matrox RT.X2 SD card. I have Sony DSR1800 DVCAM deck
conected with firewire to PC.
How I can capture video and all 4 channels of audio from DVCAM tape, using firewire ?
Is it possible somehow to do it in one pass ?


Regards.

that deck may have a manual 4 ch. switch you need to turn on. then if there is 4 ch. audio on the tape it will transfer as one file with the video. it's all interleaved into one file at 32khz/12bit.

I am using adobe premiere CS4 to extract 4 channels but it only takes the first two channels, I have tried the manual button on the dvcam and the audio mapping on the CS4 but still no luck, any more ideas ?

I do it 2 channels at a time. Never heard of a way to transfer all 4 in one pass but I'm all ears.

capture as raw DV. Enosoft DV Processor can if you don't have anything that will.

Thanks, great help, we encode a video (containing 4 language tracks) with 2 channels in stereo, before rendering flick the panning knob so it takes one, then render the other track the same way, and finally encode the video with the remaining 2 tracks and do it all again. It's slow but works to create 4 videos with 4 different language tracks.
