I would give you input but PPro running on Axio is more an Axio system than a PPro system and I don’t have an Axio…

If you buy a CineForm system and break that…call me.

🙂

Good luck with your issue.

There’s no reply on that forum because there is NO POST on that forum. . .I’m talking about the Matrox Forum here at the COW

What version of Axio are you using?

Did you create the project as a Matrox-HD, 720P 59.94 based project?

I capture from a Sony Z1, FX1, HC1 @ 1080i without any problem on my Axio but have never tried the JVC @ 720.

I just found this on the Matrox based forum site:

Hi John,

Could you tell us what format your HDV video is on your camera?

You can capture HDV video shot at a 1080 60i or 1080 50i format. Some cameras shoot at a 720P HDV format which is not supported with Matrox Axio.

If your footage was shot in a 1080 60i format you would choose the Axio HDV preset listed under Matrox-HD–>1080i–>29.97.
If your footage was shot in a 1080 50i format you would choose the Axio HDV preset listed under Matrox-HD–>1080i–>25.

Please let us know if this helps.

Regards,

Chris.

I am a bit surprised by this since there seems to be a setting for 720P @c 59.94 in the project options, but what do I know : )

Thanks Larry

Sorry I posted my question on the Matrox site not on the Cow
I Did call Matrox tech support and after over 2 hrs of trying everything the conculusion was that the footage was shot at 720p. The JVC web sit says that the is a setting in the camera menu that converts the 720p to 1080i, I set the camera up to do that but I am getting the same results.
I have 17hrs of tape here and we are set to start editing a 1hr documentary,so now I have to figure out the best way of transfering this so that I can get the footage into the Axio system

Thanks
John

From what I can read in the manual

OUTPUT TERMINAL MENU set to Component (component cable must be connected)

HDV PB OUTPUT menu set to 1080i

No 1080i thru firewire.

Hope that helps
