P2 HD and Avid Adrenaline
We had a HPX3000 for a demo the other day. I love the camera, but working with P2 HD and Avid Adrenaline was pretty slow. Is there a way to work in full rez DVCPROHD without having to do a DNX transcode? SD worked great, so will we just have to wait for HD to get faster? We have 5 Avid Adrenaline’s 2.7 with a Unity using Interplay. Does anybody have some work arounds or settings to check?
Thanks,

Shouldn’t have been slow… a Mac Pro can handle multiple streams of HD in realtime even off the internal hard disk. Don’t know why the Avid would have been slow… ?

Hi Barry, It is the importing that takes so long. If you do a transcode to the Avid DNA when you import it took about 3-4x. If we ran using the native DVCProHD we didn’t have full rez output, then had to transcode to print to tape.

What kind of tape are you printing to? Why wouldn’t you leave it in the native format?

We print back to a DCVPROHD deck or to a Beta SX. Are you saying that I should be able to edit in draft/half mode then print to tape in Full Rez. If so what should my project setting be at? When we tried to print to tape it would want to do a transcode. By the way our AVID’s have been set up so you only have the option of editing in DNA145, could that be a problem.
Thanks

If you’re printing back to a DVCPRO-HD deck, why would you want to transcode away from the native format at all? Import the MXFs as DVCPRO-HD (instantly), edit multiple streams in realtime, and export via firewire the unmodified data.
The DNA145 issue may be the problem. I know in the “lesser” Avids, like XPress Pro, you can plug in a card, drag files right to the bin, edit immediately (no transcoding, no ingesting, no anything) and export via firewire (or HD-SDI if you want that option) back to a deck…
