  HDCAM newbie ?’s

  Posted by Bill on December 2, 2005 at 1:10 pm

  I am currently running a dual 2.5 ,with 2gb ram , GeForce FX 5200, SCSI Medea 300gb array, Kona SD Card. I have recently been approached to cut some trailers show in hdcam. The client will provide the footage captured from a final cut system on an external fw 800 drive. I have yet to dip into the HD market so is there anywhere I can read to get up to date on teh HD worlflow. Will my current system handle this edit. The specifics are still a little vaque about output format. From what I have read so far, in order to view the HD output I need some sort of output device (Aja-Model HDP

  Your Kona SD card will not work with HD footage. You will need either the LH or Kona 2. Also, is your SCSI array a single channel or dual channel? If it’s Single Channel it probably won’t work for HD.

  Walter thanks for the information. I had a feeling you would chime in and help me out on this one. Looks like I need to make a serious investment if I intend on taking on this project.

  Yeah, what you have now is not going to work I’m afraid. You can click on my Profile to see what I’m running in both our suites. That should be helpful to you.
