Many people prefer to log their rushes after the shoot, but you have to be absolutely sure that the machine you use isn't going to damage the source tapes. The alternative is to dub to VHS and use these tapes as logging material. However, this can be a time-consuming and inaccurate business, since domestic VHS machines have no RS-422 interface, and hence no transport control.
V-Log is designed to provide a simple and efficient way of controlling a VHS machine while you're logging. Using Phoenix Log software, you can then create your own edit lists by simulating RS-422 control of a VHS machine via the infrared control port. All VHS transport functions are available, including search-to-cue, and V-Log is able to control a wide range of VHS models.
Phoenix Log (see below)can export the results of your logging sessions to any current EDL format, thus reducing your digitising time and your costs, and a single V-Log/Phoenix combination allows you to replace a broadcast player with a VHS machine. V-Log is supplied complete with universal power supply and a full cable set for immediate connection. How does it work? Just ask for a demonstration! |
