I’m telling the DP to shoot 1080p30 (29.97) with the HDW-F900R HDCAM camera.
I’m going to be using the Sony J-H3 deck to capture via KONA 3, HD SDI.
I don’t see any setting in FCP for KONA 3 1080p30 (29.97) ProRes 422 HQ.
And what is “psf” ?I’ve been working exclusively with DVCPRO HD 720p 23.98.
This HDCAM and 1080p or psf is not something I have experience with.
Help would be appreciated.Dan

Is that 29.97 or does he need to shoot 1080p/60?
In 720p, 720/60 equals 29.97. Some shooters equate 720/30 with 29.97, but that is not correct. 720/30 is a quasi film look that is similar to 24fps.

I just found the manual online for the camera. It shows the menu settings and
the choices are 59.94i, 50i, 23.98PsF, 24PsF, 25Psf, 29.97Psf, and that
is all the choices for frame rates.Now, how do I get FCP and KONA3 to let me capture 29.97psf? I don’t see a
setup for this.Dan

Please do a search here in the FCP forum for Progressive Segmented Frame….
