The AJA Io is SD only.

With the HVX 200 you will need to have some sort of editing system with video out — there is not any reason to write back to the camera when the cards are that expensive. Most projects deliver on tape.
I need HD deck controls and the ability to monitor the footage on a real display for finishing and the post process. No there are not cheaper solutions.
The Kona LH/e is a simple and cost effective solution for the HD Post process.

hi gary, thanks for the response! so let me make sure i got this correct…

so w/ a G5 fcp system w/ a sony pvm-14L5, i will need to use a kona LH(e) card to view dvcpro hd? also, what about for editing on a powerbook G4 out on the field? thanks again!

thats a problem as you do not have any way to view HD out of a laptop, for NON Critical work you could set up a DVI display and use the Digital Cinema Desktop, which will work fine for progressive content.
Editing on a laptop is strictly for cutting – it should not be too much of an issue.

Remember that this is not DV anymore and you now need to rethink the how and way of working. HD is a wildly different bird and needs to be treated in a new manner.

understood gary. i come from mainly a dv workflow and am just starting to get my feet wet working w/ dvcprohd footage. i’m on a tight budget but at the same time, want to do it the right way otherwise i’d go the dell/hdlink route. from what i understand from others, the pvm-14L5 is the better way to go over an LCD such as the cinema display and dell 2405. coming from a dv environment, was the luxury of firewire streaming out and composite/s-video into an ntsc monitor for realtime previewing this is what i want to accomplish w/ dvcprohd. now i understand in order to do this, extra money is needed to purchase a card such as the kona LH to get realtime previewing in fcp. thanks for leading me in the right direction gary. any more comments suggestion is much appreciated!

I’m told https://www.frontniche.com/pdf/tft/46inchHDSDI.pdf matches a Sony HD CRT perfectly, by some BBC engineers.

Well, if they are using BBC’s technology, naturally BBC’s engineers think it’s good. 🙂
But _very_ interesting. Dvi 8-bit bottleneck removed…

Graeme, any links to these BBC’s angineers’ sayings?
Have Frontniche already announced any prices?

One big difference with HD is that it is primarily watched with big screens.
So it is more important than with SD to get that big screen feeling also in editing process.
So small

The quote was made in person to a friend of mine, who passed it on to me, so no documentation for it, I’m afraid. However, I really trust the opinion of the people who told me, and I’ve heard from other, unrelated industry pros that it looked good.

Ok, and price range?

[Joslyn]

hey guys, wouldn’t a decklink hd pro 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 be another low cost solution for viewing dvcprohd footage on a pvm-14L5 via component? it’s only $995 and $1495 which is cheaper than the aja kona lh. or am i missing something? thanks.
