HD online: capturing for project- 10bit uncom & HDV

[Walter Biscardi]

[tony birkholz] “we want to make sure that both formats will match each other in the sequence seemlessly.”

You need to capture in one or the other format to work seamlessly. If you mix them in a timeline, you’ll have to render the mis-matched footage.

[tony birkholz] “do we capture HDV in 10 bit uncompressed as well or as native HDV?”

With a capture card like the Kona 2. You capture using the 10bit HD setting.

For native HDV, it’s just a Firewire capture.

I just clicked on an add here on creativecow, and there is a product that does (apparently) HDV to HD-SDI conversion.

I think it was Convergent Designs.

I would recommend that your timeline be an HD-SDI timeline if you have footage in that format. There is no sense in reducing the quality of your HD-SDI footage if you have the hardware to support it.

There may be other companies doing this as well. Also – can’t you go out of the Camera in some sort of “Component HD”? If so, you may be able to run that signal into your HD deck, and then go out of the deck HD-SDI and into your HD-SDI card.
