DVC Pro HD

From LAFCPUG meeting with the program developers, a Q & A session:
Q.) I’m getting this color shift (a kind of flash) in my transitions when using DVCPro HD. Has this been addressed?
A. Yes.Lots of good info, check it out:

So a PCI firewire card is in our future to solve this so that we can capture straight to the LaCie drive.
I think the TC breaks are a function of not enough bandwidth on the firewire bus on the g5, as I haven’t experienced them at all going to the xserve.I’m using the LaCie FW800 PCI card in my G5 to connect my BDE. The 1200A was running through the onboard FW400 port. I was still getting the timecode break issue, so I don’t know that the card will solve the problem.
But I do think you’re probably right about the bandwith being part of the problem since the “breaks” would usually occur on capturing longer clips (2-3 minutes or longer). I wish I would’ve taken better notes to see if there was a pattern though, since it certainly wasn’t all long clips that had the problem. Again, hoping that they’re not actual TC breaks!

[Craig] “My only beef with this workflow is that the deck control is so sloppy through firewire, as compared to 422”
Deck control is a separate entity than Capture settings so you can set deck control to RS-422 and still capture via Firewire.
[Craig] “We normally capture to an XServe raid, but recently tried capturing to a LaCie Extreme Big Disk, and encountered all these phantom time code breaks you spoke of. I found that capturing to the raid and then transferring to the LaCie solved this problem”
That’s interesting because I’m getting the breaks whether I go to Firewire 800 drives or my Medea FCR2X Fibrechannel array.

[Sean Davison] ”

If I use the AJ 1200 HD and digitise and edit using the DVC proHD Codec ( Via Firewire)
What will play out of the SDI Bob of My Cinewave card (which still seems to work with Tiger!!!?) Does the HD Signal only play out of Firewire?
