Thanks Chris,

My only problem is that switching to REC 709 I suddenly get a much darker image. I’m guessing this is down to moving from YUV to RGB. Is there a way I can get this switch to work better?

It was the PsF that confused me slightly. As I said, I’m new to the HD realm and wasn’t sure of the difference between shooting ‘true’ progressive at 720 and PsF (labeled as 25p) on 1080. Now it’s just about getting the footage captured in the best way!!

So capturing at 1080 25i is the correct workflow for this footage? There is not an option for the 1080 25psf that would suite it better? I’ve searched a fair amount to try to garner the info i need to get this right but it’s all a bit contradictory in places! I just want to make sure i get this right.

Ah, ok. So let me just check, it means the 25p setting at 1080 still produces interlaced frames?? I’m a bit confused as there was the option to shoot at 25i or 25p!! Does that mean my footage was shot interlaced none the less? Or do I just need to capture via the 25i setting?

Also, just so you know, I’m running FCP 6.0.2.

Is there a chance i need to run an upgrade to see 1080 25p?? I thought I wouldn’t as the KONA would have that setting?

Hi Walter, thanks for getting back so quickly!

I’m pretty sure it’s 1080p 25. We shot on the Panasonic HDX900 and when shooting we chose 1080 with the 25p option. It was something I checked with the camera rental guys first and asked. They said this was 1080p 25.

If this turns out to definitely be the case what should I be looking to do??

Thanks

Thanks for the help Gary. Have you any idea where the Dulce ProDQ units could be available in the UK?? Also, what is the price difference between the Dulce unit and the Caldigit HDPRO? Any ideas what problems they were??
