sorry, I’m not explaining this very well.
I’ll try not to bore you all with the detail, but gotta run. My wifes about to have a baby so this will have to keep. thnx! -
to clarify, and thanks for everyone’s input, damned or otherwise, I don’t have a MacBook Pro, just a MacBook. My error in haste. Hence no firewire in.
We start shooting mid-may so yes, I’m in a hurry. The newer devices mentioned by Bob and others aren’t out till june. I could opt for some of the cheaper boxes and input devices from Matrox and the like.
Heck I could even spend the same money (for the IO) on a MacBook Pro and not have any of the cross format issues Michael mentioned.
I’m was just thinking that this may be a good opportunity to look to my future requirements and also slot it into my current requirements. I’m planning on buying a Panasonic HMC-150 so I can do a wider range of work I currently sub out to friends. I was also thinking with the Io my edit suite would be more useful to others with higher end camera’s. They currently have to hire gear or edit suites so I could let out my suite if I had a means for them to hook up their gear.
However, when I posted this I wasn’t aware there’d been other releases from Aja that gave me more or less the same input/conversion for much less money.
I think if I can find an alternate way to get the data off the cards while on the road I’m going to head down that route….
And thanks for the thought Bob, but I’ve checked. I don’t have a bug up my ass 😉 -
Yes we’re editing on a laptop. a MacBook Pro.
But we don’t own a P2 card reader. Given we’re shooting intermittantly over 4mnths hiring one is pretty expensive – buying one new is basically the same price as the ex demo IoHD. -
RE: SD. Not in this instance Bob. I’m shooting and providing the end product in HD. We’re shooting on a HPX172 and I was thinking of using the SDI out straight to the IoHD.

Hi Jeff, I’m shooting both interviews and a variety of ‘work about the farm’ kind of stuff. It’ll be use for DVD, and HD projection at various events.
We’re shooting on a Panasonic HPX172. We’ve four 16gig cards, but I was thinking we’d capture straight over the SDI out from the camera to ProRes HQ. Then in the evening we can edit and back up the cards at the same time on a seperate drive.
It’s just re: the Io HD, I’ve a friendly dealer who has a ex demo model for half price and buying some of the other video ingestor boxes new works out nearly the same. -
Darn it. It seem like a great solution.
Guess I’ll use MotionSmarts illustrator script instead.
How strange with such a great plugin they just vanished. Even if Apple tried to eat them!
