    Doing HD (not HDV) project. Need to upgrade the studio gear. What’s best way to search for cow archival info on this? key words? I’ve done HD studio setup, HD hardware. but no satisfactory results. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Search on HD…

    But that said, my personal favorite is a Kona 2 card and Huge Systems arrays, Apple’s X Serve RAID, or a Medea setup. You want the fastest arrays you can get your hands on for sure…

    For FCP releated equipment, then you may want to also search the aja and blackmagic forums. Both offer HD capture cards, I run the AJA Kona 2 in one suite and just got my second unit for the second suite.

    As for other HD gear, we also have a Hi Def forum here on the Cow. Just depends on what “flavor” of HD you’re going to do. 720 or 1080i and which manufacturer your clients are shooting with.
