The HPX 3000 is the best of the best. If you’re looking for the highest quality capture their’s nothing to discuss. I would not shoot a feature for DC or film-out on an ENG camera.

I agree with Noah. Technically, there is no real reason, but technically there is no reason to keep a tape after it’s been digitized either. I think of the MXF files as camera masters on the same level as a tape, so even though I may never need to go back to a tape, I still wouldn’t throw them in the trash. Besides, the MXF’s are really good to have if anyone ever wants to cut something in Avid.

You are wrong. The HVX will shoot true 1080p but it records it into a segmented-frame 1080i format.

No, it reqires a new board. Last I heard, they were not going to offer it in the 200. Jan??

My mistake. The 50 mbit version also drops to 4:2:0 doesn’t it. I know Panny claims that it is equivalent to 100 mbit DVCPro, so if I understand it correctly, it is 1280 X 1080 at 4:2:2 Vs 1440 X 1080 at 4:2:0. I know there’s a lot more to how the codec’s work than just these numbers, so I’m sure it’s still a bit of apples and oranges, but have you seen the two side by side? Have you had a chance to really analyze the 100 mbit AVC version. I saw your recent post regarding the 200, 2000, and 3000 which I found very interesting. I’m really hoping someone will post results comparing the 3000 and the F23 both at their full bit rates.

Hi Barry,
As I recall, DVCPro pre-filters to 1440 in PAL, (25 fps), but 1280 in NTSC (30fps), So here in the US, it’s 1280 X 1080 or 960 X 720. But of course this is all transparent to the user, so back to the original question, it does pre-filter in the recording codec, but it still outputs at 1920 or 1280, so it doesn’t matter.

1) Not that I know of.
2) Was the OIS on? -
Dean beat me to it. Does the video have the same problem when it’s being played back on the camera? What NLE are you using and does the problem show up when you step though the footage one frame at a time or only when playing it real time? Sounds like a computer dropping frames if it’s not the OIS.
Best of luck, let us know how the story ends.

You’re half right Shane. He asked if he could dump the files OR capture directly to the hard drive. You cannot record to a normal hard drive, but you can set the camera to 1394 host mode and transfer files to an external drive when you’re not recording.

Hi Barry,
I assume the 2000 implements the codec in the same way as the 3000, in which case the 24PN mode only records the frames used and at the same bit rate per frame, or 80 mbit/s, which allows more recording time on the cards.
