Which format should I work on in FC for SD and HD Television?
Hello all,
I need to set up a broadcast monitor to a G5. Am working with final cut HD and will soon move to v.5
I need to be able to playout projects both for SD and HD TV. In Europe I guess that means MPEG 2 and 4 respectively.
I don’t have a video deck which means I need a converter so to be able to view work on the broadcast monitor.
Which formats do I need to make sure the converter supports.. i.e. in what formats should I be working on in FC.?Thanks for your time,
Riccardo

It’s always best to work in whatever format you’re going to master to or whatever you shot in. For instance we shoot a show on the Panasonic Varicam so I edit in 720p but then output to HDCAM and can also output directly to DigiBeta for SD.
If you don’t have a deck to view your projects, then you’ll need something like the AJA Kona 2 to output the signal
