  • Best looking Sony V1U images thru FCP

    Posted by Peter Von puttkamer on May 28, 2008 at 3:54 am

    Can someone suggest the very best way to output V1U 102024p images- for use with HDCAM (full HD sized images? The Apple Pro-Res 422 system of capturing through firewire is OK- but results in slightly grainy, overly processed looking images- that seem to have some “lag or motion blur” to them.
    How about going through HDMI output on the camera- into SDI- KONA card conversion (upres to full HD)
    Has anyone tried this?

    Thanks
    Peter

    I’ve done that with a Kona LHe card, and it looks really really good. In that case we took the component analog out from the HDV deck for the job to the Kona… worked really well. But you might also try this with ProRes thru the card… bet it also looks great. I’m using an IoHD in my bay these days and take analog to ProRes with it and it looks really wonderful.
