No, they are referring to the standard definition IO products like the IO LD. ioHD will get new drivers soon.

Hi Jaeson,
Not too long ago we replaced the Media100 HDX hardware with an AJA Kona LHx. The CPU is an older PPC dual processor G5, but the card works and runs well with media100. If you are interested, we are looking to part ways with the LH card because we do not have a need for that system anymore. It sounds like you have the same kind of computer that has PCI-X slots. If you are interested in the entire system, we could arrange that too. Send me an email: bobby@magicvideo.com

just edit normally like you would in the native resolution so that it is easy to make changes, add clips etc. When you get done and ready to export, export a self-contained and take that to compressor.
Is your footage 4:3 or 16:9? if it is 4:3, have compressor squeeze to fill the 800×600 frame, since 800×600 is a scale of 4:3. It will fill the screen perfectly. Only do this AFTER you have completed your edit. By keeping everything in the native resolution of 720×480 while you work, this keeps your options open to output to tape, do quick renders/ exports to DVD, and apply filters with ease.
800×600 is just the deliverable file, it is to be done only at the very end of your edit. We get a lot of off requests and file sizes. Keep it in broadcast res as long as you can until you need to change it.
Hope this helps

Thanks Tim,
I have tried capturing to a number of codecs using our AJA LHe, and they are all dropping frames except for the ProRes codec. I will try to get to a PC version of premiere to test out a captured clip.
Is macdrive good enough to edit directly off the drive? Or would it be better to edit off an NTFS formatted drive?

okay, that sounds good, which codec do you recommend? I know obviously prores wont work. We will be shooting against green screen so it cant be a heavily-compressed codec either.

Ok, I figured it out… need to select the 1280×720 VFR instead of 1280×720 59.94 and just select the desired frame rate. Hooray!

Im using the JVC GY- HD250’s HD-sdi output into a AJA LHe using AJA quick capture or FCP 6.0.5 with a HD Connect HDMI-HDSDI converter.

i have about three hours of recorded footage, so yeah, 1 frame per second would be wasteful since these slides are up on the same frame for an average of 30-60 seconds. I would split it up by speaker, each speaking for about 10-15 minutes. I’m trying to keep each speaker’s video to small file size like 5-10 mb per, so minimizing the number of frames that go on the video would be crucial, with most of that being audio of course.

even if apple does release a touchscreen something this month, there is no way anyone is going to have support for it for the first 6 – 12 months easy, especially media 100. There are way more things on their to-do list that they’re not gonna push down or delay to make support for some new cool gadgetry technology.
Nobody even supports the multi-track touchpad other than apple, and thats been out for a while now.

I just did a batch capture test using the JVC BR-HD50 using hdmi and RS422 and it seemed to work fine. Granted, this was off a 184 min DVCAM tape, but When i get the chance I will test it out with some 720p footage.
But it did batch capture and plays back fine! Although there is still that green line to the left of the video which is absolutely unacceptable, especially since this footage I am capturing is from a conference where they had powerpoint presentations that go outside of the title safe areas requiring me to scale down the video making that green line visible… i’ll probably just crop/mask it out, but it still annoying.
One cable in for digital audio and video that isn’t expensive HDSDI! I love it.
BTW, if i wanted to capture some HD footage from say, a miniHDV sony consumer camcorder through HDMI, how would i get deck control to FCP? do i need to have an additional FW PCI-e card since the FW system bus is funny consumed by the IO?
