The upgrade is only $49.00. Why wait?

At the low end, you could just use a DV camera or deck, & use the composite or S-Video out. If you want something a little more capable, take a look at AJA’s Io product line. They offer 3 models with either SDI, component, or both.

When you shoot 1080 24P on the HVX-200, you’re really shooting 29.97i with pulldown. If you shoot with advanced pulldown you can import & remove the pulldown on import. If you shoot with standard pulldown, you have to run the footage through Cinema Tools to remove the pulldown. Either way, you can convert the footage to true 1080 24P, or 1080 24PsF.
As Shane says, there’s no way to shoot ‘true’ 24P to the Firestore. If you shoot 720P, you’re limited to shooting ’24 over 60′, meaning 24P with duplicate frames inside of a 60P video stream. Basically, it’s the equivalent of pulldown inside of a 29.97i video stream.

As long as they don’t use NuBus slots, I’m on board!
My personal suspicion is that a lot of 3rd party card makers have been holding off on making PCIe cards for the Mac. I’m guessing we should be seeing a new crop of HBAs for SATA, SAS, SCSI & fiber within a couple of months of the 1st Intel Mac tower (MacTelTower?). And I’d expect AJA to either announce some driver or firmware update that makes their Kona or Xena cards compatible, unless they announce a Kona 4. Same with Black Magic’s Decklink cards. And maybe Aurora will either update their existing cards, or come out with a couple of new cards to keep up.
I’m guessing 6 months for Avid/Digidesign to make new offerings.

No. Cinema tools is used to remove pulldown from telecined footage & to match 29.97 TC back to 24fps film. It has absolutely nothing to do with format conversions.
Take a look at Nattress Standards Converter for $100. Nattress.com. Or have a post house with a Terranex box convert it for you when they make the DigiBeta.

I understand that they’ve improved the carving of the balsa wood… Kinetta, anyone?

[David Roth Weiss] “Hitachi 500gb drives are available for just $195.00 at Bason Computer. I just bought four at another place for $199.90”
I hope you’re not beating yourself up over the $19.60!

Too bad. It was pretty good for the price. I just had a client buy it 1 or 2 months ago so that we could do CC for a DVD.

[Dan811] “oR even a way that FC can gather all media togther onto a new drive?”
You can use the Media Manager to do this. You would probably use the ‘Copy’ function, which will leave the original files intact (Move will delete the original files). For more info, you should consult your FCP manual & search the back posts on this forum.
