Transfer Times for KiPro

[Jeremy Garchow]

[Randy Burleson] “Isn’t that the same thing in AVC Intra 100? 1 minute equals 1 Gig of file size?”

Depends on the format and frame rate. At full size and frame rate (so 1080i60 and 720p60) yes. When shooting pN formats (1080pN24 and 720pN24) the file sizes are less.

When shooting a 64 or 32 Gigs P2 card, we get more than 64 or 32 minutes of footage.

It’s still way faster than tape. Logging and capturing is arduous (and slower than real time). And with MXF4mac or KiPro footage, it is immediately accessible within FCP. The KiPro is even faster than P2.

Thanks Jeremy! I guess the immediately accessible files was the part I was missing.
I wasn’t trying to be argumentative, but just trying to understand where the time savings were.

You mentioned earlier that there are certain times that you can’t use the Ki Pro. What are the scenarios that are not practical to use KiPro ?

We don’t use if for handheld stuff. You could, but we don’t. It really depends on the shoot. It has nothing to do with quality, more with practicality.

i son’t know if you shoot any green screen, but the Kipro is totally sweet for green screen.
