Archiving P2 original for future use
Hello
I am beginning a shoot with my HPX3000 week after next and I want to preserve the original material as the client does not know his post process yet.
1080 25p recording to AVC I 100
So I thought I would shoot with one ( 16GB ) card at a time and when it ran down to a minute to go swap it out. Reload and continue.
Load via the Duel adapter to my macbook pro hooked up to a firewire 800 drive.
Simply copy the contents of the card to a folder on the drive, I may leave the last file folder till last to speed things up.
After that copy to clients drive.
End of shoot archive to Quantum LTO3A tape
How long will the recording be on the 16GB card? hopefully it will sort of match a reel change on the B camera – a Varicam. That way post will see tape one card one tape two card two etc. as the interviews move on.
Any thoughts?
Best

Transfering still takes some time…
We do a double transfer in the field… one to a disk image and one to import into FCP… This way we have redundancy. When we return to the office we burn the disc images of cards to Bluray discs.
I would plan on having at least four cards in the field…. you never want to hit a pause waiting for a card to free up.
With that said…. we can usually get buy shooting until lunch… do a dump.. (of data) then pick it back up.
