Thanks for the reply. There is a sort of illogical-ness to it though. I wasnt expecting a “cross-conversion” from 720 to 1080, for example. And the “work” involved in downconverting from HD to SD seems to be equal or greater than that of 1080 to 720.
I’m not asking for a defense of the company and I actually love the card, but there is a smell of disabling of utility so that marketing can do its thing.
I needed the analog inputs and that takes priority. C’est La Vie.

Got it. Thanks man.

Right. Thanks for that info. But I thought I had heard about a HDCam or D-5 tape that recorded pure 23.98. So I thought Panasonic might do this as well on a high end deck.

Is there a DVCPRO-HD deck anywhere that can record just 23.98? Or Does Panasonic consider all decks to be “broadcast formats” only?
Thanks.

Thanks so much. This is great news. My producer wants to stay in pure 24p world no matter what and I would miss looking at a real broadcast monitor or TV if this couldn’t be done.

Right and besides quality, we were looking for compatibility. We were worried that we would get a dark green RT bar above clips if we cross pollinated from different cards.
Sounds like that doesnt happen. Cool.

Right, this new “FCP 6 workflow”: capture the highly compressed HD formats over Fire Wire in their native state, and set the Sequence to render in Pro Res or Uncompressed. This makes so much sense on so many levels — everything from quality to drive space. No offline/online operations.
I’d love to hear about some folks who are actually doing this on a regular basis. Is it working as well in reality as it does on paper?

Shane, you rock dude. I’m going to buy your FCP media organizer DVD when I get my next paycheck. Where can I order it?

Sean ONeil said he did. He said he does it all of the time.
But I also wonder if Mattso is correct in thing Sean may have all Intel machines and, because of his speed advantages, may not be seeing dark green RT bars when cross pollenating?

Mattso doesn’t have a BM card to make a clip for you. He has Kona lh. That’s the point. We were considering mixing a BM and AJA in our workflow. So this thread was started for research about the compatibility of the two.
We weren’t looking for a debate. We were looking for people with experience cross pollenating clips between systems.
Both compressed and uncompressed formats.
What I am hearing from all of you is that you are 100% sure that a clip captured on one system will be recognized as an exact equal on the other. Meaning one will NEVER EVER see a dark green RT render bar when switching between the two cards, if using the same Sequence settings. (with the exception of that 4:4:4 thingy)
Nobody disagrees with this, right? The people saying this works I am sure are speaking from direct experience and not theory, right?
Good. Thanks for the info. This has been helpful and I am grateful for the education.
