AVC-Ultra and microP2 are on their way

[Michael Johnston]

I’m excited about microp2, however, considering AVCIntra has yet to catch on industry wide, AVC-Ultra is only going to be used for in-house turn key situations until its more widely accepted among NLE’s and the bugs get worked out. DVCProHD will still rule the day so AVCUltra is not a selling point on the PX5000.

Look up the AS-11 standard.

Soon, a section of the BBC will prefer AS-11 as a deliverable instead of tape.

Well, just as a reference, all of my comments are always in reference to the United States only, not any other international markets.

I hear that, I am US based, too.

The point is, similar to IMX50, AVCIntra is going to be very popular very soon for broadcast.

I’m sure it will even reach the States!

I hope you’re right but I know of many if the higher end production companies that produce well known tv programs are STILL shooting on tape (HDCAM and DVCProHD) are stubborn about even going tapeless let alone adopting new codecs.
