    Hi Everyone,

    I am a MAC boy and all we have is MACS with DL cards, my question is – what codes does it encode in ?

    Obviously with the MACs we have Prores …

    As we switch between SD and HD – What is the SD codescs and HD what are they – obviously if I install the AVID codecs i can ingest DNxHD for HD ?

    Any help – cheers

    Hi,

    unfortunately you can only record as uncompressed (huge file – you need a VERY fast disk) or as JPG intraframe compression. There is no option to record in any other format.

    Only the TV Studio and the H264 recorder alows you to record as H264 Quicktime file.

    As far as I know any other card/switcher will record uncompressed or JPG Intra only.

    Regards
