Direct To Disk Live Recording workflow
We edit with FCP Studio 2 and are looking at the nNovia QC Deck Digital Video Recorder.
We want to record 4 cameras Isoed to disk and the rough cut switcher output.
We would like to capture directed to hard drives as .mov files and then bring into Final Cut for editing.
Has anyone had any success with live direct to disk recording and if so, what is your workflow and equipment?
thanks for your reply.

this is being done all the time,
Zodiac was captured on set with dedicated recorders from S.two and then edited directly in FCP.The systems are currently expensive, one alternative is to use the IoHD and a laptop, however that requires a system for every camera, since mac’s can only handle one video track at a time.
onset tools from RaveHD, S.Two, and Codex all make tools to handle the issues.

Check out the Panasonic P2 line of cameras..
What you describe is why I am investing in P2..
4 x HPX500s SDI into Pansonics new 400 switcher and then recorded via firewire to a FCP MBP to sata mirrored drives. The Panasonic switcher has FW out.. To ISO the cameras add P@ cards to them…
(4 x HVX200 with HD component to SDI converter boxes)

Slightly off topic, but:

Saw this product at NAB. Allows 4 concurrent streams on a server AND you can start to edit in FCP while it continues to record. HD-SDI is not quite ready but they are working on it.
You could correct mistakes in the live cut as the assistant director marked them by using multi-clip in FCP. Just make the main stream the director’s cut, and create your own switch as needed.
If your budget is large, EVS servers support ProRes now. This solution is bullet-proof, but the price reflects that. The work flow is sweet.
Best,
