Capturing HD
Is there a way to capture HD footage without using a Panisonic codec of anykind? I can’t use DVCPro or Panisonic HD, for techniqal purposes. Would I be able to capture HD Varicam stuff with a Kona Uncompressed codec? The footage needs to be uncompressed.

Capture cards with HD SDI inputs can accept uncompressed HD from any machine with an HD SDI output – Panasonic, Sony etc. I assume Kona have such an interface card. I use Blackmagic HD extreme card and capture from Panasonic Pro100 and Sony HDCam machines straight to HD 10bit 4.2.2 uncompressed.

As Michael said
with your Kona card, the possibilities for capture are only limited by your system, so Yes you should not have any problems capturing to 10bit 4:2:2 from any source in SD or HD.
remember that to capture data in such copious amounts you will need very fast and very large storage arrays– this is NOT something that can be done over FW.gary adcock
