I have thought that it might be a tape issue however, this happens with both Fuji and Panasonic tape in my Varicam. It is my understanding that both tape stocks are manufactured by Fuji anyway.

I also just 3 weeks ago had the machine cleaned,new pinch arm and cleaning roller arm assembly replaced. Sure would be nice if someone from Panasonic would shed some light on this issue.

Thanks for the Help. -

Thank you for the response. I do have a few other questions and I hope you can be of some help with them.
Here is the situation:
I shoot mainly sports feature/docs with my Varicam and hand off the tape to clients for editing. In August I will be shooting on location with a Varicam on a water sports feature and the client wants to shoot HD in the water. My thoughts were to rent a housing for the HVX200 with 2 8gb cards. Audio will be mastered to the varicam shooting on shore. Because the client will want to walk away with tape at the end of the shoot I thought using a 1200a to dump the P2 cards would do the trick. Now for the questions!Do I shoot 24p, 24pa or 24pn when wanting to output to a 1200a for normal film look speed?
If we decide to shoot off speed both 12 fps(motion blur) and 60fps( for slo motion after frame rate conversion) will this work with my transfer to 1200a idea? I would test the concept but I do not own a 1200a( will be renting for shoot).
WOW! Hope this is not killing you.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.

What price range are you looking to Buy? -

Have you done this before and which tape machine can do this? Does the machine also have firewire? How’s the quality? Thanks for any advice.

[john sharaf] “As regards the Dynamic Range setting; I think Leo is very lucky that he works in a closed-loop environment and is able to color correct each shoot. This allows him to use a 500% setting even though he is not finishing to film and therefore take advantage of the maximum highlight compression the best mimics motion picture film. Bruce is correct in his understanding that such a setting is not always appropriate when delivering a WYSIWUG master tape for broadcast or finishing in an environment that does not include extensive color correction, or at the very least a Gamma Correction Box in the post production work flow; in these cases the 200 or 300% settings, and some slight black press (-1) create a very nice compromise setting that does offer many of the advantages of the “film look” or “film gamma settings” vs. what would otherwise be a “video look”. This is especially the case when combined with the 24p speed and 180 degree shutter.”

Would you be willing to discuss your detail settings for this look? Are they turned off, if not what are you starting numbers?
Thanks for any input. -
[gary adcock] “I do not get hardware upgrade paths for Avid or Quantel
Nor odes GM give upgrade paths, why is this different? “GARY
EXACTLY WHY I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AN IKEGAMI CAMERA OWNER, THEY WOULD NEVER INTRO A NEW CAM WITHOUT PROTECTING CLIENTS THAT RECENTLY PURCHASED OLDER MODELS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS NEW MODEL VARICAM WOULD HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED AT VARICAMP IN JUNE. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE PEOPLE AT PANASONIC THAT ARE CLOSEST TO THE VARICAM WERE NOT AWARE OF A NEW CAMERA TO BE ANNOUNCED THIS QUICKLY? ANSWER: NO WAY. MAYBE IT IS TIME FOR ALL CONCERNED TO MAKE A STATEMENT TO PANASONIC. ALL I ASK IS FOR HONESTY.
AS FOR AVID,OUANTEL OR GM…I DON’T OWN THEM ANYMORE! -
[Leo Ticheli] “The “F” model of the VariCam has enjoyed a very long run, has offered very low cost, if not free, software upgrades, and is not at all eclipsed by the new “H” model. You should be able to enjoy more profitable years with your “F” model VariCam.”
LEO
WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT THEIR CAMERAS WITHIN THE PAST SIX MONTHS. SHOULD THEY NOT BE PROTECTED BY OFFEERING SOME SORT OF UPGRADE PATH?
