new IoHD lookalike … sort of

[Devin Clarke]

I just rented the MOTU V4 box.
I have a MACbook Pro, and I’m trying to capture HDV 1080i 29.97 native footage that was shot in Canons 24f format.
The issue is that we have, 4 audio tracks on the tape. And the only reliable way to get them is through 3rd party hardware. I was going to use the AjA io HD box because I’ve had a few good experiences with it and Sony’s XD CAM. But I couldn’t find it, rented the V4 instead.

My bran new Intel 2.5 Core 2 Duo just can’t handle the processing load. so every time I capture something its wrong. I’m also converter to Apple Pro res in real time. Anyway, if you want audio, great it seems to handle that well but if you have any video, stay away.
