What about new Kona LH?

Thanks, Kevin, Andrew and Uncompressed,
But no thanks to that anonymous person at Aja sales who first basically dissed my question, then didn’t answer my rejoinder.
Anyway, from what the three of you’ve shown, my guess is that Adobe has tried to provide SDI I/O at the best prossible price point. Okay, I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt.
But with the LH, I could have captured uncompressed analog component into my computer from my HD100 when shooting (green) in my studio. With the HS, I would have to buy an outboard A/D converter. If it ain’t one thing….

[Kevin Christopher] “The whole Conforming Audio issue is just plain stupid. The whole broadcast world uses 48K 16bit audio, but premiere has to have 96k 24 bit. So I sit and wait and wait for Conforming Audio.”
Conformed audio’s purpose was to speed audio FX response due to the elimination of any encode/decode or conversion steps. The audio guys brought in to redesign PPro’s audio had past connections to Pro Tools…they have some reasons for what they did. PPro 1 had audio response that was incredible.
The specs on conformed audio are 32 bit files at the sample rate of the project BTW, not 96k, 24bit.
In PPro 2, this has largely been eliminated as audio files with a 1:1, 1:2, or 2:3 sample rate ratio to the project’s sample rate won’t be conformed. I suspect this will affect the audio reponse of the app somewhat, though I have no idea just who will use it hard enough to hit the wall…

Tim,
Audio conforming is one of the features we are implementing into RaveHD as we speak and any insight or a list of features would be welcome (not that it’s not long already). The immediate features are just simply conforming for the different frame rates. Items like shooting at 60hz for PAL, converting to 59.94hz for NTSC. The software can be fairly flexable on what needs to happen because process time for audio is nothing compared to video and we have lots of process time available.
The AJA boards are well made components but can only perform as well as the software they sit on. Therefore, when we begin to implement a feature we step back and try to get everyones perspective so hopefully we only have to design it once.
I hope to hear your thoughts on what you would like to see included.
Cheers,

All I know is that after we capture a movie whole, 2 hours sometimes. It will take 20-30 minutes for it to conform. My boss is screaming!!! We have the latest speedy HP xw9300

Are you using Ppro v2?

Not yet. He is complaining about how we just upgraded to 1.5 and it is a POS why should he spend more money. I have to come back and say this issue is definately fixxed. Is it? It was not one of their marquee “Hey we fixxed this” in their official list of improvements.

If it was a marquee improvement, that would be admitting it was broken. I’m not at all sure it was totally the wrong idea, but I wasn’t a big fan of importing hours of no-brainer DV meeting footage into a DV project…and editing for DV output and having audio conform either…
It no longer conforms if the audio sample rate is 1:1, 1:2, or 2:3 the sample rate of the project setting. There is a peak file created that holds the data for quicker waveform redraws in those cases, but those are tiny files.
For most uses and users, it’s “fixed.”
