[David Smith] “Are there solutions other than the io-HD that would allow a laptop to record DVC-Pro HD from a HD source? I’d like to be able to record footage during a HD truck shoot.”

RAVE HD makes a unit that can capture 2 streams via HDSDI to DVCPROHD but you still need to connect to it to bring the footage over.

BUT
if you are talking about trying to handle HD content in REALTIME in a truck, that is not something I would ever do with a laptop. I could not take the screaming from the TD about when the shot was going to be ready.

If you are talking about capturing and playing back LIVE content- you need dedicated hardware.

I hear that! I get screamed at enough already. This isn’t for playback during a show, it’s for shot scripting and camera meetings later on. So yes, I am talking about recording in real time, but no need to play back under live show pressure.

Shane:
That Motu V3HD looks way cool! I’ve sent them a request for pricing and availability. Thanks for the information!
