the Institute of Videography Ltd.
While we make every effort to ensure
accuracy, we cannot take responsibility
for losses resulting from publishing errors
of any kind, howsoever caused.

IOV Focus Ltd
No, the above is not a
typographical error. I feel the
need to draw some people’s
attention to the reality that if you
want to get on in this world you
have to put time into studying
whatever enterprise you have
decided to embark on. As
Francis Bacon used to say “Knowledge is Power”.
You can occasionally spot the
guilty ones within the IOV
forums. Those that continually
look for the quick fix on a
problem rather than working out
why the problem has occurred.
This industry in particular has so
many things that one should
understand - technical, creative
and commercial issues which are
absolutely ‘key’ bits of
information that you will need at
some point or another in your
business. The tricky bit is
establishing exactly what it is
you’ll need to know before you
find yourself challenged and
looking for an answer.
Having said this, the answer
might be just around the corner and in the form of the proposed
new qualification system within
the IOV - more precisely the core
competencies exam which is
currently being tried and tested
at local IOV meetings throughout
the organisation.
This is far from the
completed document, but this
mock exam paper includes 100
questions covering camera,
sound, editing, lighting and
business issues (including health
& safety) which the IOV believes
are the fundamental bits of
information that a professional
videographer should know. And
we’ve not just plucked these out
of the air. They are the result of
The Cook
Retort
a year’s worth of
engaging with a
broad cross section of
the industry and extracting the
information which - as a
professional - you really should
know.
The research has now
reached a more public platform.
The IOV Reps are now armed
with the mock exam paper and
will be getting their members to
complete it - not only by
attempting the answers but also
by scoring the questions
according to their relevance to
the industry - and in particular
the work of a professional
videographer.
Once this feedback has been
consumed and the papers
amended and added to, the
result will be a basic test of
knowledge that IOV members
can undertake in order to
progress along a path of
qualification within the IOV. The
entire qualification system is still
in its embryonic stage, but
getting this initial knowledge-set
established will be a huge leap
forward. At the very least it will
provide a comprehensive road
map of what any professional
should know - especially if they
are a newcomer to the industry.
So, if you notice that there’s a
mock exam taking place at your
local IOV meeting - get along.
Better still, contact your Rep and
ask them when its being done in
your area (see page 10 for contact
details of your local IOV Rep).

Latest addition to ProHD series...
…while ProHD 100 Evolves
JVC has announced it’s latest HD
product to market with the
unveiling of the new GY-HD250U
high definition camcorder, during
NAB, Las Vegas. As part of its
ProHD line, this next generation
full HD resolution camcorder is
the first HDV model to offer studio
capabilities, and features 720/60p
capture and recording for
Electronic News Gathering (ENG).
Responding to demand for an
affordable studio-capable HD
camera, JVC developed the
versatile and compact GYHD250U to ease the transition
from SD to HD, allowing
customers to utilise much of their
existing infrastructure (including
cabling) while providing robust
performance in both standard and
high definition. In addition to its
studio capability, the GY-HD250U
offers the comfort and stability of
a shoulder-style camcorder with a
full complement of features
needed for ENG, and
cinematography applications.
“We designed the GY-HD250U
with multiple applications in
mind,” said Craig Yanagi,
National Marketing Manager,
Creation Products. “The fact that
the camera has flexible
connectivity, is lightweight and
can record in multiple
progressive formats is certain to
meet the various needs of the
professional industry.”
The GY-HD250 records true
1280 x 720 progressive at 60
frames per second thanks to a
new advanced codec that
provides ultra efficient
compression without visible
motion artefacts. It has built-in
genlock capability, component
and HD-SDI output, with
professional connectors mounted
on a magnesium die cast chassis.
The GY-HD250U also features the
choice of several interchangeable
lenses, enhanced cinema
gamma, external timecode
synchronisation, BNC connectors,
built-in mount for a 14.4V
professional battery, and the
patented focus assist feature.
The GY-HD250U offers flexible
recording options for any
production environment. The
camera’s built-in HDV recording
system records full raster highdefinition video on inexpensive
MiniDV cassettes. With the
optional DR-HD100U Direct-toEdit recorder, a hard disk
workflow can be achieved, while
simultaneously creating backup material on digital
tape.
JVC has introduced its new GYHD110 and 111 camcorders
superseding the 100 and 101.
The evolution from the GY-HD100
to the 110 was based on feedback
given to JVC by users worldwide,
with most of the enhancements
taking the form of additional
menu functions, increasing the
appeal of ProHD to cameramen.
Developments include
simultaneous use of both
eyepiece viewfinder and tri-mode
LCD display, the option of
switching the viewfinder to black
and white display, and a
selectable mirror mode on a
vertically flipped LCD display.
Additional changes have been
made to facilitate more accurate
audio monitoring and a choice of
three image formats for
composite monitoring is now
available. The HD111, like its
predecesor the HD101, has the
6
August 2006
The GY-HD250U can easily be
converted to a cost effective studio
camera with the KY-HD250 studio
adapter, following the tradition of
the popular GY-DV550U
professional DV camera. The
camera’s optional CCU provides
connection to industry standard
26-pin multicore cabling for power,
genlock, R/B gain, black level and
intercom up to 330 feet. An
optional pan and tilt head and 16:9
LCD studio viewfinder make it ideal
for educational, cable and
broadcast studios.
For ENG, the GY-HD250U is an
affordable choice for news
organisations migrating from SD
to HD. It's superbly balanced for
stable shoulder-style shooting,
with operation controls placed in
positions familiar to electronic
photojournalists. Its 60 frame
progressive capture and recording
provides high resolution and
smooth motion, necessary for
news and sports field production.
The built-in Anton-Bauer battery
bracket provides compatibility
with the most popular battery
systems for ENG. When equipped
with the optional DR-HD100U,
editing can be performed
immediately from the hard disk
without time-consuming transfer to
the NLE. Other attributes for ENG
include lens interchangeability and
a pool feed input.
For cinematography
applications, the GY-HD250
captures real 24p and 30p
acquisition that produces
polished, film-like quality HD
recordings. The timecode is
recorded in native 24p mode,
enabling the user to transfer
recordings to film for theater
distribution with ease. The
camera allows for extensive user
customisation with additional
gamma settings for cinema
applications. Its 1/3-inch
bayonet mount allows the use of
various interchangeable lenses
from Fujinon, Canon and other
third party lenses and
accessories.
The European, 50 fps version
of the GY-HD250U will be
showcased during IBC,
Amsterdam in September.
Delivery is expected to begin in
October 2006 - price to be
confirmed.

same specification but includes
DV and HDV inputs, whereas the
HD100/HD110 features DV and

Nick Fletcher, Marketing

ProHD camcorder and we
continue to listen and respond.”

Keeping it Sync’d
Edirol has announced the R-4 Pro,
a brand new four-channel portable
field recorder based on the popular
R-4. The R-4 represented
something of a milestone for
Edirol, featuring up to four
simultaneous channels of quality
recording, an on-board hard drive,
built-in effects and an intuitive user
interface. The R-4 already has
many admirers, but now Edirol has
released a Pro version with added
video sync appeal.
The new R-4 Pro accepts
SMPTE timecode meaning that it
can easily be sync’d to video
equipment as the slave device,
so as many as four channels of
high quality audio (up to 24
bit/96kHz) can be fully
synchronized with video.
Selecting four channels rather
than two gives users the ability
to capture more ambient sound
at a shoot, place mics on
multiple participants and increase
redundancy/backup in case of
camera mic noise or drop out also, most video editing
environments now support multichannel audio as a standard. In
addition, the R-4 Pro can also act
as the master, sending out
timecode to slave devices.
“The R-4 Pro provides the most
affordable four-channel portable
solution to users with timecode
in their workflow. We’ve
essentially halved the cost,” says
Massimo Barbini, Managing
Director of Edirol Europe. “It’s
an ideal solution for the growing
number of attractively priced
HDV cameras equipped with
timecode, such as the Canon XL
H1 and the recently announced
JVC GY-HD250U.”
The R-4 Pro comes with an
80GB drive installed, which is
enough for more than 100 hours
of audio at 16 bit/ 48kHz. For
back-up and more storage options,
the unit is also USB 2.0 compatible
so on board audio can be backed
up to flash keys, memory cards or
onto the drive of a connected PC or
Mac. The unit is also equipped
with a 4-pin XLR DC input to
enable use of Anton-Bauer style
external battery power. Like the
Edirol R-4, the Pro features wave
editing, recording resolution
selection, pre-buffer recording,
effects and limiter.
At £1,099 (€1590) the original
R-4 is still a most affordable and
effective choice for the existing
SD camera base and the growing
number of HDV cameras that are
not equipped with timecode. And
it is still possibly the only fourchannel solution equipped with
LANC capability as an alternative
way to sync to non-timecode
equipment. In fact, the new R-4
price point matches well with SD/
HDV cameras and even competes
with many two-channel solutions
with fewer features!
The Edirol R-4 Pro is expected
to ship in September, priced at
£1,499 (€2,199) both inc. VAT.

Thanks to three triple-platinum
UK albums, four number one
singles, a Brit Award, a Q Award,
a Smash Hits Award and two Elle
Style Awards, the Sugababes
have already secured their place
in British music history. The
quality of their music has allowed
them a level of success beyond
their rivals, a fact that was
proved beyond doubt when they
became the first pop group ever
to grace the main stage of
Glastonbury in 2003.
Promoting their current album
‘Taller in More Ways’, the girls
have recently completed a
successful UK tour using
Sennheiser’s SKM 935G2 wireless
mics supported with Evolution
EW300G2 IEMs. The cardioid
SKM 935G2 features nine
frequency banks each with up to
20 directly accessible presets.
Sugababes Monitor Engineer,
Chris Trimby, said: “The SKM
935 vocal mic has proved to be
an excellent choice due to the
usual Sennheiser RF reliability,
and it also provides a very high
rejection level within the mix."
Sennheiser's EW300G2-IEM
system is Trimby's wireless
monitoring preference for the
Sugababes. "The Sennheiser G2
system is currently the most
reliable,stable and clean

At Ease with Flash Mic
Now shipping in quantity, HHB’s
FlashMic Digital Recording
Microphone is already hard at
work capturing news from major
events around the world.
Stuart Alexander, Yachting
Correspondent for British
newspaper, The Independent, is
using a FlashMic to cover the
round-the-world Volvo Ocean
Race. Primarily a print journalist
Alexander is, like many,
experiencing a growing
requirement to produce audio
clips for web content, making the
case for FlashMic all the more
compelling.
“The quality of sound is
excellent and the download is
very fast,” reports a delighted
Alexander from the New York
pitstop. “The FlashMic is also
both easy to use and
authoritative in appearance
which makes the interviewer feel
better and the interviewee more
comfortable. A conventional
recorder draws attention to the
recording process, which can
make the subject more cautious.
What’s more, I rarely have to
replace the batteries and there’s
no more peering at the tape
footage counter.”
Back on dry land, this year’s
Classical BRIT Awards took place
in May at London’s Royal Albert
Hall. Classic FM Magazine
journalist, Sarah Kirkup
(pictured), used the FlashMic to
capture interviews with the stars
of the classical music world
including Plácido Domingo and
Lesley Garrett as they arrived at
this prestigious event.
“The FlashMic was so easy to
use,” comments Kirkup, who also
picked up on the effect that the
FlashMic’s physical presence had
on potential interview subjects.
“Everyone on the red carpet
seemed happy to stop and speak
into the FlashMic and I’m not
sure that that would have been
the case with a typical portable
recorder set-up.”
"The sound quality of the
FlashMic is so good that,
generally, I only had to
listen to each interview
once when transcribing.
On a tape, I would
usually have to rewind
several times in order to
catch the bits I missed.
Even with Hayley
Westenra, who I spoke
to as a band of Scottish
pipers arrived making a
terrific racket, the sound
quality was perfect and I
could hear every word.”
Combining a highquality Sennheiser
omnidirectional
microphone capsule with
an in-built broadcast quality
Flash recorder, FlashMic provides
an easy-to-operate, all-in-one
recording solution with simple
‘drag and drop’ file transfer at up
to 70 times faster than real time.
Eight hours of continuous power
comes from a pair of AA batteries
and the included FlashMic
Manager software supplements
the FlashMic's 'straight out of the
box' operation with more
sophisticated pre-configuration
and file naming protocols.

Vinten support the World Cup
Vinten provided vital support for
the FIFA World Cup television
coverage. With its head office in
the UK, Vinten has made many
of the tripods supporting the TV
cameras that captured the action
throughout the tournament.
Well known within the
broadcast market, Vinten has
found that orders to buy or rent
its products have soared. "This
year it's been great for us," said
Peter Harman, marketing
manager at the firm. "It's not
unusual for us to be selected to
cover these major events. We
are considered the standard
product worldwide for broadcast,
providing support both live from
the pitch and within the on-site
studios. Whenever these large
events come along, we always
see an increase in both bought
and rental equipment." With
eight outside broadcast trucks
covering events at the 12 World
Cup stadiums, the company
estimated it had around 200 pieces
of its equipment out in Germany.
“Because of the demand, we
had to bring in resources from
the US," said Mr. Harman.
Another factor was the use of
high definition television
equipment at the event, he said.
"You have got much longer, larger
lenses, so you need a much more
stable base for the camera. It's
exceptional. We had a very good
year last year and with the takeup of high definition, there has
been even more of a take-up of
the product."

A Lifetime’s
Achievement
The Graham Fenton Experience
Limited has great pleasure in
announcing its most recent
award - The Event DV25 Award.
The award was presented in
Orlando at the 4Ever
Group Convention.
The Event DV25 Award
recognises the twentyfive most influential
videographers,
worldwide, and those who have
brought special talents and
innovations to the industry; and
The Graham Fenton Experience
won this award on both counts.
Managing Director, Janet Fenton
(pictured), said: “This latest
award honours the company as
one of the top twenty-five
worldwide who have had the most
impact on the industry in recent
years, and as such is a ‘lifetime
achievement’ award, accrediting
us for our flare, talent and
excellence in all fields.”
Event DV25 cited the following

By Brian Rae & Tony Nimmo
IOV Chairperson, Steven
Abrams, completed the normal
pilgrimage of the Chair by doing
a double visit to both the
Scotland North and South
meetings on consecutive
evenings in June.
The purpose of these visits is
more social than formal, but it
does give local members the
chance to quiz the Chair on
aspects of IOV management and
its further development.
Steven was given a very
warm welcome at both meetings,
and was particularly honoured by
a general meeting and we had a
good discussion about several
topics such as the current state of
music licensing and how do be
creative in video production.
I also showed the Joel
Peregrine training DVD for those
who were not able to attend the
May meeting and everyone who
watched it found it very useful in
terms of what can be achieved in
terms of creativity in Wedding
Videos.
Many thanks for an enjoyable
and informative evening and I hope
to see you all at future events!

Nimmo’s meeting in Lanark.
Steven commented: “These visits
are vital for the IOV’s Executive
to help us ensure that we
understand the needs and
desires of members at local and
regional level. I’d like to thank
both Tony and Brian Rae (who
was unable to be at the Scotland
North meeting due to holidays)
for making all the necessary
arrangements for my visit. I’d
also like to thank all the
members for their hospitality and
warm reception. I’m sure that
future IOV Chairs will enjoy the
same welcome in years to come.”
Apart from bringing members up
to date on key issues, Steven
also came away with a few ideas
and comments from members
regarding promotional items for
the IOV shop and also literature
that will help members to benefit
from their membership even
further.
Much to his surprise, Steven
discovered that one of the shop
items that has been dropped
recently - namely the IOV carrier
bags - are still very much in
demand. This will be rectified in
the very near future and made
available to members from the

Anti-Dumping Issue
Following on from my foreword in
the July issue, I’ve published this
subsequent chain of correspondence
with Tim Felstead at Grass Valley
(Thomson) and further comment
from Ian Scott of JVC and Olivier
Bovis from Sony… ED.
Tim Felstead - Grass Valley
The headline of your “Cook Retort”
in the July issue was certainly eyecatching, but I fear it is completely
untrue. I think our rivals among
the non-EU manufacturers are
spreading misinformation and
mischief, so let me try to put the
record straight.
The proposed European Union
investigation is about broadcast
system cameras. It is nothing to do
with the sort of pro-AV camcorders
your members rely on for their
livelihoods, and it is most certainly
not about consumer products.
We are talking about an EU
ruling that has been in place for
more than a decade, and it exists
because the EU found clear
evidence that manufacturers were
attempting to dump broadcast
system cameras - sell them at
uneconomically low prices to buy
market share. What we are now
suggesting is that the ruling is
updated, because of HD, because
broadcast system cameras can now
produce good quality images from
smaller sensors, and because fibre
optic connections now exist
alongside triax.
But the key point is that this
investigation will be carried out by
the EU – not Thomson, not
anybody in the industry – and if
they find any evidence of unfair
competition they will try to rectify
it. Where there is no European
manufacturer in a sector of the
market – the sort of camcorders
used by readers of Focus, for
example – there can be no unfair
competition because there is no
European manufacturer to compete
with. So anyone who believes that
this action will double (or triple or
whatever the current hype is) the
price of camcorders for
videographers is simply falling for
scare tactics.
Let me say that once again.
There is no European manufacturer
of camcorders for videographers, so
there cannot be any unfair
competition against them. And if
there is no unfair competition the
EU has no reason – or power - to
act. It really is that simple.
Kevin Cook - Focus
You say that its about broadcast
camera systems, but the Notice of
Initiation under '2. Product' seems
to describe the very same HD
cameras that our marketplace will
be using for predominantly nonbroadcast applications. How will
the EU differentiate between a
broadcaster using a specific camera
and a wedding videographer using
the same? Taking the Canon XLH1, Sony Z1E, Panasonic HX200,
12
August 2006
JVC HD-101 and Sony DSR-450 as
examples - are these considered to
be typical of the cameras that
would attract import duties? If so,
my educated guess would be that
our market is responsible for a
considerable, if not the majority
percentage of overall sales in the
UK and Ireland of these cameras.
They are professional cameras that
happen to be used in the broadcast
production chain.
Perhaps you can confirm your
understanding of whether the
cameras mentioned above would
fall under the description. If not,
then we would certainly like to put
that on record with our readers.
We have of course heard
comment from other manufacturers
and suppliers who operate in this
part of the industry - but this has
not affected our judgement on what
we believe could be a potentially
disastrous outcome for our industry
and our members in particular.
It would have been favourable
if someone from Thomson could
have pre-empted this situation and
explained to us beforehand the
impact, if any, this action will have
on our industry.
Tim Felstead - Grass Valley
No, the models you mention and
others like them -- the camcorders
that your readers rely on for their
livelihoods -- would not be covered
by this action, because of the
simple fact that there are no
competing products manufactured
within the European Union.
We are talking about fair and
unfair competition here. Our
concern is about the broadcast
system camera market. By this I
mean a camera used in a studio or
on an outside broadcast, which is
plugged into a production switcher
and either broadcasts live or is
recorded somewhere downstream.
We believe that some non-EU
manufacturers have tried to distort
this market in the past by dumping
products, and the EU has rightly
used tariffs to stop this happening,
just as it has done in literally
thousands of markets from machine
tools to T shirts.
But I say again: there are no
European manufacturers of the
camcorders used by your readers.
All the models you quote are made
in Japan. That means that, in EU
terms, there can be no unfair
competition because there is no EU
manufacturer who might be
disadvantaged.
So to reiterate, I can clearly
state that our understanding is that
the models you quote and others
like them would not be covered by
the proposed modifications to this
long-standing anti-dumping
regulation.
Ian Scott - JVC Professional
Nice words from Mr Felstead, but
they don't make me feel much
better. If Grass Valley did not
intend for products such as GYHD100 to be included within the
Focus Magazine
www.iov.com
EC's investigation, why does their
complaint specifically mention
cameras and camcorders with CCDs
of 1/3" and over? Part of the basis
of their complaint is that
broadcasters are using products
designed for non-broadcast
applications - how do they expect
the EC to differentiate between a
GY-HD100 sold by a dealer to a
wedding videographer and one sold
to the BBC? (pay duty retrospectively?)
In other words, the response
from Mr Felstead simply does not
tally with the facts of Grass Valley's
complaint.
Olivier Bovis - Sony Broadcast
While the claim was raised by
Thomson probably thinking studio
camera (I will assume here
generously that they do not want to
"cleverly" anticipate Infinity
introduction.... as said
"generously") it is a clear fact that
at present and from July 2006 until
February 2007 the investigation is
based on the clear definition
provided by Thomson in their
original claim: “The product concerned is susceptible
for use in broadcast, news gathering,
digital cinematography or professional
applications. Professional applications
include (but are not limited to) the use
of these systems for creating
educational, entertainment,
promotional and documentary video
material, both for internal and external
distribution."
Now at a practical level the
definition in this listing is so vague
or open that as a matter of fact EU
AD Commission is investigating all
camcorders and cameras, SD and
HD, with all size of CCDs, and this
is an actual fact.
We can of course expect that as
explained in the mail from Tim
Felstead that the EU recognise that
Thomson is not in a position to
propose an alternative solution to
some product categories (i.e.
Canon XL-H1, Sony Z1E, Panasonic
HX200, JVC HD-101 and Sony DSR450 as examples) and therefore
decide to take it out of the final
scope of investigation: but simply
at that stage, it is not the case and
we will only know the outcome
toward may be the end of the year
and at the latest in February. But
again today these are part of the
investigation !
Now if I want to add a personal
comment to all of this I would like
to remind also that the all current
Studio System Cameras from Sony
are manufactured in Europe, so
whatever the outcome on this AD
issue is, these products are "not
concerned" by the enquiry.
Closing comment
The only thing that is clear from all this
is that nothing is clear. Personally, I’ve
already written to my MEP and we hope
that the industry will respond likewise.
There will be more on this later once
we have our plan of action! ED.

This month, Mike looks at the
complete package - including
Compressor, Soundtrack Pro,
Motion 2 and DVD Studio Pro plus gives his overall Summary…
Compressor
When you want to export an
Final Cut Pro project to a video
file you are presented with the
Quicktime format but also
‘Export via Compressor’. If the
latter is selected, Compressor
opens its window within the FCP
work area.
Compressor is actually a
stand-alone application in its own
right and is a video and audio
format converter - rather like
ProCoder. At first glance it might
appear that it has fewer options
than ProCoder but that would be
a mistake. It is capable of
accepting plug-in CODECs to
extend its range of formats and
carry out many other processing
operations. In its native role it
will convert to MPEG 1, MPEG 2
and MPEG 4 formats and, as well
as WAV audio, it will convert to
AIFF or AC3. It is said that with
plug-ins it will transcode to AVI,
Windows Media and RealPlayer
formats (but I was not able to
check these).
It can also create ‘droplets’.
These are small programs that
can be used on their own
(without opening Compressor)
to carry out preset format
conversions with minimal
intervention by the user - very
useful to have as a set of tools
to be used for standard
repetitive work.
If one dives deeper within its
user interface it can carry out a
range of modifications to media
during the conversion process for example adjusting colour,
gamma, interlacing, image
cropping, letter-boxing and many
other options. It also has its own
display window with a split
screen that gives an indication of
‘before and after’ quality so that
settings can be optimised prior to
starting conversions.
Compressor would probably
be most used to create material
for later use in DVD Studio Pro.
To this end it will output at
various qualities in single or twopass VBR - either as a
multiplexed MPEG2 or as
14
August 2006
elemental streams of M2V with
sound in either WAV, AIFF or AC3
formats. If required, several
different format options can be
selected and all will be created in
the same operation. The
conversion rate to an elemental
MPEG2 stream with AC3 sound
was much the same as ProCoder
on a 3GHz PC.
Compressor is a complex
application in its own right with
many other features that I did
not have time to explore. For
example, it will convert between
international TV standards - PAL
to NTSC or vice-versa, convert
HD to SD and even SD to HD! It
will also convert Interlaced to
Progressive and Progressive to
Interlaced. Suffice to say it is
easy to use for basic conversions
and produces excellent results.
It would, however, require a bit
of time to get used to all the
image adjustments and
conversions that it offers.
Pro is actually a very powerful
stand-alone audio handling
package in its own right. It very
closely resembles Adobe’s
Audition (formerly Cool Edit) and
anyone experienced in using the
latter would have no difficulty in
converting across as it is
controlled in a similar manner.
It operates either as a single

algorithms. Levels can be
altered or normalised and many
effects filters applied - from
normal equalisation and
parametric filtering to
reverberation and way out space
age sound effects. The number
and types of filters are too
numerous to mention but are on
a par with those found in
Audition. If a video soundtrack
has been exported the video
image is displayed in a small
window where it plays in sync
with the waveform on the
timeline.
As its name implies the multitrack mode handles sets of
stacked tracks - each containing
its own wave file - that when
played together will output a
composite mix of the tracks. If a
video with several audio tracks
has been exported to it all the
individual tracks are shown
together with any rubber bands
and keyframe markers that
might have been set in FCP. Like
the wave editor the video is also
displayed and plays in sync with
the audio. This is very useful for
accurately adding synchronised
sound effects on extra tracks.
Effects can be added to the
individual tracks but the prime
function of the multi-track mode
is to add material and create
accurate mixes. There are many
permutations in which this can
be done and for complex projects
selected tracks that have had
their individual parameters
adjusted can be assigned to a
busbar as a pre-mix, and
separate busbars mixed to create
an output.
Review
If required, the final mix can be
dubbed onto a new track and
returned as a ‘fait accompli’ to
FCP. The multi-track mode will
also act as a musical compositor
in its own right (for those who
have the necessary skills) and

repetitious, the manual is much
more than a guide to the program
- it describes in great detail the
principles of DVD structure and
the up-to-date variations brought
about by the advent of HD in its
various forms.
DVD Studio Pro has a very
neat and uncluttered default
screen layout with a pane that
shows available assets, another
shows the assets that are
actually in use (called the
‘Outline’). There is a library pane
of in-built templates, buttons and
images, a properties pane, a
timeline and a tabbed viewer pane
that is used to create menu
layouts, display navigational links
and act as a preview monitor.
Several of the other panes have
tabs that cater for other functions.
Like Encore 2 it takes a little
time to get used to the way links
and object properties are
handled and I did not find it quite
so intuitive as the other
packages. For speed I again
resorted to the LA User Group’s
tutorial examples. However,
once I had overcome this initial
hurdle, it became relatively
straightforward to create menus
for both multi-track video and
audio applications and
slideshows. As is usual it is
important to rough out a list of
all the required assets and
navigational structures before
embarking on anything but the
simplest project as it is all too
easy to become lost within one’s
own spider’s web or to forget to
set properties correctly!
Video and audio assets first
have to be imported and
transferred to the timeline to
which extra audio tracks can be
added for multi-lingual
applications. Each video can be
played from the timeline and, if
necessary, chapter points added.
As this is done the used assets
together with any chapters are
shown in the Outline pane. A
click on any asset shown in the
Outline will then open a
corresponding properties pane.
Menu creation is simply a
matter of dragging and dropping
assets into the working pane and
their properties set. If required
motion can be applied to menus
and buttons that use video
assets. Duration and looping
points can be applied to any
motion menu items.
Navigational paths are created by
selecting a menu button and this
opens its property pane. It is
then only necessary to select the
name of the destination from a
drop-down menu of used assets
in the button’s property pane.
This became a very simple and
quick process once I had got to
grips with the technique and it
was relatively easy to create
quite complex interactive menu
structures using this simple
technique.
I cannot claim to be anything
but a novice to all the features
within DVD Studio but my first
impression is that it is more than

As a long time
heavy user (and
fan) of Adobe
Premiere I
guess that I'm a
good choice to
review the
latest version.
Since version 6.0 I have been
purchasing upgrades as they
are released and was up to
Premiere Pro version 1.5.1.
But for this review those nice
people at Adobe provided me
with a fresh box enabling a
full pristine install of
Premiere Pro v2.0.
In this review I propose to
cover just three major features
which are new or significantly
changed from the previous
version of Pro. These are: native
HDV capture; multi-camera
editing; and the titling system.
Additionally my Swanrose
colleague David Brindley will
later on in this article be looking
at Adobe Bridge.

Hitherto I have never had a
problem loading Adobe products
but my initial attempts to load
Pro v2.0 met with a stubborn
refusal from my souped-up Dell
computer. Eventually, on advice
obtained from the Adobe Support
Knowledgebase, I was able to
load up the software by disabling
Windows start up items and
services via the msconfig utility.
However, I have to say that I felt
somewhat nervous about doing
this and was unhappy that it was
necessary to resort to a
procedure that I didn't fully
understand the reason for.
multi-camera edit facility in Pro
v2.0. The concert that we
recorded with three cameras
lasted an hour and a half but
there were various bits of the
concert that I wished to edit out
and I wanted to cut down the
final programme (to be
distributed on DVD) to about an
hour.
Having captured all the
material (i.e. 90-minutes per
camera) I placed the clips on the
Premiere timeline with the clip
that was to include the master
soundtrack on Video 1/Audio 1
and the other two clips suitably
synced up on tracks 2 and 3.
In order to use the multicamera facility this timeline
('Sequence 1') has to be nested
into a new timeline ('Sequence
2') and this I duly did. When I
played the programme from the
multi-camera monitor window I
was duly presented with a view
of cameras 1, 2 & 3 playing (a
further sub window for Camera 4
was blank there being no Camera
4 in our production) plus a larger
view of whichever camera was
‘live’. To my delight during
playback within the multi-camera
monitor I was able in real time to
click on a camera view to make
that camera 'live' and each
change was reflected in the
Sequence 2 timeline.
Dissolving from one camera
view to another was no problem
as I could go back to the timeline
and simply add a dissolve at the
appropriate point. This is great,
Handling HD
Since as long ago as March 2005
Adobe has been claiming that
Premiere will capture HDV
material derived from both Sony
and JVC camcorders (at that time
via a free download third party
plugin for v1.5). But, in practice,
whilst the plugin, which upgraded
v1.5 to v1.5.1, could be used
with both the UK and US variants
of the HDV2 (Sony) system, it
could capture and play only the
US variant of the HDV1 (JVC)
system.
For the latter an expensive

Pro v2.0 and the incorporation
therein of native HDV capture

I should emphasise that the
actual sound remained in perfect
sync with the picture - it was just
that the waveform ceased to
represent that sync sound.
Unfortunately I was never able to
get to the bottom of why this
was happening (I had a concert
to edit to a tight deadline) but I
guess that with foresight a quick
fix would have been to have
made the deletions prior to
creating Sequence 2.
Using this new facility

that Adobe will continue to

to re-balance the colour between
the clips?
In Sequence 2 the three
clips are integrated together
onto Track 1 but by going back
to Sequence 1 I could adjust the
colour (or make any other
changes I wanted) to the
relevant clip and this would be
reflected in that clip in
Sequence 2.
Additionally, had I wanted to
'follow sound' by playing each
camera clip's own sound as I cut
to that camera view rather than
sticking with a single sound track
this is also possible by selecting
the 'Follow Sound' option. So far
so good - but I now discovered a
couple of problems.
The first problem was that
whenever I stopped the multi
camera window from running the
programme I ran the risk of
inserting a cut in the timeline
regardless of whether or not I
wanted to make a change at that
point. This occurred only
intermittently which in some
ways was worse than if it had
occurred every time.
But the second problem was
even more irritating. As I
previously mentioned it was
always my intention to remove
some portions of the concert and
this presented no difficulty in
itself; in the Sequence 2 timeline
I simply used a razor to cut out
the unwanted material. But I

Review
Fortunately KLA has both types
of camcorder so I was able to
test the HDV feature with a Sony
HCR1 camcorder. I logged a
number of clips using the capture
screen and then asked the
system to batch capture them.
This worked perfectly - as I
expected it would. But I was
surprised at how smoothly I was
able to scrub through the clips on
the timeline given that they were
native HDV (i.e. MPEG2) and not
conformed to full 25 frame mode
as per the v1.5.1 plugin.
Similarly the addition of
transitions produced smooth
results even prior to rendering.
Titling Experience
The title system in v2.0 appears
at first glance to be pretty much
the same as that in earlier
versions (going back as far as
v6.5). But although the actual
process of adding a title is the
same, the way that titles are
saved is fundamentally different.
In the earlier versions you
created a title and saved it as an
individual file which you could
use in other projects. In v2.0
when you create a title you are
invited to give it a name but
once created it simply becomes
integrated into the project file
(i.e. when you go to save your
title it's the project file that you
save); each title you create will
be individually listed in your
project assets as a still image but
you will search in vain for any
title files in your Windows
management system.
So how do you export a title
to another project? Fortunately
you can highlight a title in the list
of project assets and use File/
Export/Title to create a Windows
file. Having now got used to this
system I find it perfectly okay.

As a Church of England Team
Rector, as well as being a
Master Member of the IOV, I
have read with interest the
many questions posed on the
IOV website by videographers
who have been required to
sign a contract to video a
service in a Church of England
church, chapel or licensed
place of worship. Questions
have ranged wide both in
content and passion, but at
heart many videographers
are asking - “Why do we have
to sign a contract to video in
church when we already have
paid for our MCPS and PPL
licences?” To add to the
confusion many are asking “Where does the church’s CCL
licence come into this?”
The beginnings of this story
date back to the 1980s before
the word ‘videography’ was part
of our working language,
cameras were big, heavy and
expensive and video camera
operators were springing up all
over the place. There was no
regulation and due to the
linear method of editing much
was done in camera and ‘on
the hoof’.
Many of our premier

their ‘video teeth’ in this
environment, and some now look

if they are honest, a slight shake

work they produced. However, if
it was a time of innovation and
challenge it was also a time of
‘cowboys’ and some saw this
period as opportunity to ‘make a
quick buck’ and move on. Issues

both the Church and the
videographer alike, and as a

CCL
The Church Copyright Licence
cover is a scheme designed for
churches to cover them for any
recordings made on their
premises for non-commercial
use.
The CCL does not cover any
post-productions rights, be that
dubbing or recordings made from
commercially recorded sources
and certainly does not cover
anything recorded outside of the
church such as at the reception.
Therefore videographers should
make their own MCPS and PPL
arrangements as the CCL cover
is essentially just for the
churches’ protection.
Article
Permission to Record
and Video in the
Church of England
However, if that is what MCPS,
PPL, www.videolicence.co.uk and
CCL do, what additional
permission is required or
recommended by the Church of
England? The Legal Advisory
Commission have stated the
following:
a. Professional recordists should
hold a current licence issued by
the MCPS. The responsibility for
ensuring compliance with the
requirements of the law rests
primarily with the professional
recordists.
b. The incumbent has no
authority to give a copyright
licence for a recording to be made
in church; authorising or
permitting the recording or public
performance of a copyright work in
a church may put him at risk of
being sued for an infringement.
Nevertheless, copyright aside, no
recording can be made in church
without his permission.
c. If the incumbent gives
permission for recording
equipment to be brought into a
church he is at liberty to impose
conditions concerning the
manner in which the recording is
to be made, for example:
i. The number of cameras to be
used in a church;
ii. Whether only fixed camera
positions may be used or
whether mobile cameras will be
permitted;
iii. Whether extra lighting will be
permitted and, if so, where it is
to be sited;
iv. Any directions for turning on
and off of extra lighting;
v. Any directions for recording
specified parts of the service or
event, e.g. the signing of the
register;
vi. Any necessary licences, e.g.
from the MCPS or the PRS, and
consents of performers, to be
produced before the day on
which the recording is to be
made.
d. Similarly, copyright aside, no
recording may be made in a
church without the permission of
the Parochial Church Council
(PCC).
e. Certain ‘blanket’
arrangements have been made
to facilitate the recording in
church of the text of marriage
and baptism services from the
Book of Common Prayer and the
Alternative Service Book (and for
ease I have abbreviated these
conditions):
i. Apart from the original
recording sold to the couple or
parents no copies may be sold
commercially
ii. No more than three copies
may be made.
iii. Neither the recording nor any
extract from it may be exhibited
in public.
f. If a professional recordist is
employed to record a wedding or
baptism then it is for the couple
to ensure that the professional
recordist complies both with the
three conditions (above) and
with any directions of the
incumbent.
g. Notice that the incumbent has
no authority to permit the lawful
recording of any copyrighted
work other than the works
covered by the blanket
permission.
h. Generally neither the
recording nor the copyright in it
would belong to the incumbent or
the PCC and certainly would have
no claim in the copyright of the
works recorded.
i. Parochial Fees Orders made
under the Ecclesiastical Fee
Measure 1986 do not prescribe a
fee for granting permission to
record a wedding or baptism. It
is for the PCC to determine
whether a fee should be charged
for using audio or video
recording equipment inside a
church, but the incumbent
retains the right to refuse to
allow a particular service to be
recorded. Any fees paid by
either the couple or the recordist
are payable to the PCC and not
the incumbent.
As a consequence of all this
advice the Legal Advisory
Commission produced a ‘Model
notice to permit Use in Church of
Video Recording Equipment for
Marriage and Baptism Services’,
it is this model that has formed
the basis of the so-called church
video licence, which is not a
licence but ‘permission’.
However, from the formal
advice given, even in my cut
down version, the advice is
detailed and complicated but it
does break down into two distinct
parts - ‘Permission to record video
in a church’ and ‘Permission to
use liturgical texts’. )

Conclusion
So where does that leave us?
Well, to proceed from here I note
that there are now two
conflicting sets of advice, those
published in the ‘Legal Opinions
Concerning The Church of
England’ originating from the
1980s and revised in 1994, which
have not been amended, and
those of the Liturgical
Commission published in ‘A Brief
Guide to Liturgical Copyright’
published in 2000.
That's good news for us
because it means we have a
good case for it to be updated.
We need to recognise that there
are now three main issues that
need to be addressed:
a. Permission to record video in
a church as it is still within the
complete discretion of the
minister whether or not to allow
the recording to be made.
b. Permission to use liturgical
texts.
c. What fees are necessary to be
paid to obtain the permission of
the organist/director of music/
worship leader and any other
musicians whose performance is
to be recorded.
I am convinced that the General
Synod will never allow the
situation to develop where a
minister is forced to allow a
videographer to make a
recording, therefore a) above will
probably never change, but a
professional, friendly manner can
work wonders and it is more
often the case that the younger
the clergy are the more open
they are in using/allowing
modern multi-media technology
in their churches.
I feel unqualified to comment
on c) as to what we should be
prepared to pay a performer for
their permission to record their
work, as that very much depends
on how good they are at their art
and what the ‘going rate’ is.
However, it is in b), the
permission to use liturgical texts,
that we may be able to make the
most inroads and it is my hope
that the IOV will be able to do a
deal with copyright holders
directly and in so doing we can
move forward.
Finally, I believe there is a
place for producing a ‘Best
Practice’ document that can be
used nationally that tells the
churches what we need and
expect if we are to record in a
church and, in turn, what the
church can expect from us as
videographers.

Microphones (Part 2)
You are standing next to the
A58 dual carriageway
wearing your long sleeved
yellow safety jacket trying to
interview a traffic policeman
about the dangers of driving
in heavy traffic. The traffic
noise is constantly loud but
peaks to deafening as each
lorry goes by. Which type
microphone will give you the
clearest results?
Knowing the answer to this
question depends on your
understanding of the different
types of microphones that are
available to you and of the
particular polar patterns
associated with such
microphones. So if polar
patterns are to you the marks
left in snow by a white fur-coated
bear that lives on ice, or you
want to a know a little more
about the design of microphones,
then read on.
Directional Response
Knowing that every microphone
has a directional response or
pattern is an important
advantage that every
videographer can have to ensure
that they get the most effective
and clean recording possible. It
is essential that we use the
design of the microphones we
have to minimise the pickup of
sound from sources other than
our chosen subject.
The directional response of a
microphone refers to its
sensitivity to sound in relation to
its front and the angles of its
central axis and the resulting
output level. This sensitivity is
known as the ‘polar pattern’ or
‘polar response’. In the diagram
below I have roughly reproduced
the polar patterns of the six main
types of microphone -
24
August 2006
omnidirectional, bi-directional,
cardioid, supercardioid,
hypercardioid and shotgun.
In preparing this basic
diagram I am aware that the
graph I have produced is not as
accurate as it could be, partly
due to my poor computer
drawing skills, and partly
because even the manufacturers
of the microphones themselves
will label a microphone type
based around the closest pattern
to their microphone. However, it
does serve as a simple guide to
polar shapes involved and that is
usually adequate to be able to
use your microphones effectively.
In Scott Hunter Stark’s book
- ’Live Sound Reinforcement’ - he
uses three-dimensional
representations of polar patterns
provided by Shure and
Sennheiser to illustrate the polar
patterns of microphones. I found
them so helpful that I have
redrawn them from scratch and
adapted them to match the
previous basic polar diagram.
and they do not suffer from the
proximity effect. Also
omnidirectional microphones do
not add much to the sound as
they have a smoother frequency
response than directional
microphones and are therefore
considered to be the ‘purest’ of
microphones in their ‘passing-on’
of original sound.
Bi-directional
Bi-directional microphones are
often used in radio studios where
there are two people involved in
an interview one on either side of
the microphone. Interestingly,
most ribbon microphones have
this type of polar pattern.
Cardioid
Of all the microphone pick up
patterns available, cardioid is by
far the most commonly used.
Typically it gets its name from its
heart shaped polar pattern. The
cardioid microphone is sensitive
to sounds coming in on its
primary axis, or front, and it
rejects sounds from the rear or
sides. More often than not these
microphones are used in live
sound reinforcement as their
directional attributes can cut
down on feedback, however,
they are more sensitive to breath
popping and wind noise.
Supercardioid
The supercardioid microphone

this is used as a speech
microphone as it reduces or cuts
out unwanted sounds from other
directions.
Shotgun
Shotgun microphones are the
most highly directional of all the
microphones available to us and
they are used to pick up sounds
usually from longer distances particularly where it would be
impossible to place any other
microphone closer. Most
shotgun microphones are
distinguished by their long thin
tube-like structure, featuring a
series of calibrated holes
designed to displace as much
unwanted sound as is possible.
Practical Applications
You are once again standing next
to the A58 dual carriageway
trying to interview a traffic
policeman about the dangers of
driving in heavy traffic, which
type of microphone will give you
the clearest results? There are
two possible solutions to this
problem. I would use two
omnidirectional lavalier
microphones which I would clip
as high up to the speakers’
mouths as is humanly possible I believe that it would be possible
to keep the gain down and limit
the sound lobe and as a result
you would be able to distinguish
the human voice from the
environment. Alternatively,
others I know would use an
accurately aimed shotgun
microphone.
