The Kona2 is capable of playing back your CinewaveHD clips so no transfer is needed.

Io gives you every analog and digital I/O in SD format. It is very flexible and can be used as a standalone converter as well. If you are planning for HD, get the Io now and then add the Kona2 later and you’ll have a real kickass setup.

Why can’t we all just go progressive…and lose this whole field thing. Better still, progressive with a single frame rate for everyone. Let’s just live in a 24p world.

Wally,
Yes it has nothing to do with AJA but it does affect AJA PAL users. Ben is just letting PAL users know about what he has discovered in case they run into the same issue as he had. This affects other card flavours as well since it is in the Apple PAL Uncompressed presets but because he was doing an install with the IoLD, he feels it would be good info to spread in the AJA forum.

Just to give you my input as I’ve been testing the same config of the Huge 4210 and Celerity 42XS and so far I’ve got nothing but high praise for this product. I’ve been testing it both under Mac and Windows and it works really well. I can even play 2K files out of the 4210 in RAID3 mode as the throughput on both channels when striped reaches close to 600MB/sec. You’ll have no problem doing HD 4:4:4 in future.
4Gbit is relatively new, yes, but Huge as we all know, comes out with fantastic products. I’ve nothing against the XRAID as I’ve used it before but the only thing I “hate” about it is that it takes forever to set itself up as RAID0 or RAID3 when you configure it. On the Huge, it takes two beeps to change from one RAID mode to the other.
As for SAN, I believe Huge has tested the 4210 with MetaSAN from Tiger Technology and I’m going to test it with SANmp when I get the chance. Will post findings when I’m done.

Hi Matt,
The system is a BOXX PC running dual AMD Opteron 250s processors with 4GB RAM under WinXP SP2. It has a NVIDIA Quadro FX4000 graphics card and a RAIDCore SATA RAID card.
The Deck Control application works fine. It’s only when you try to open a project or a new project, it will then report that it has encountered a serious problem and causing Premier Pro to shutdown.
I have no problem as well with AfterEffects 6.5. It’s only with Premier Pro 1.5.1.
Also, it has been working fine with Decklink 4.8 drivers.

I’m not sure if this will work but you should be able to feed the HDV signal via Firewire out of your G5 into the Z1 and then take the analog output to feed it to the Luma LCD monitor. This will of course tie down your Z1 camera as it is being used as a converter.
If not you can get the Kona2 card and use it to playback your HDV timeline to your Luma LCD monitor in HD resolution.

Mark, why don’t you post your problem here as well so that we can help look into it. Perhaps the problem is not in the K2 but with the SD-Connect ?

John…do you mean to say it tops out at 19.6TB instead…coz 19.6GB is not alot nowadays.
So do you have a local array to keep your dissolves/titles or you’re just using the internal drives ?

Hi Paul,
In this case, your only option is to upconvert the digibeta materials via the HD VTR and then cut everything in HD, do the pan&scan and then use the Decklink downconversion to output your SD master. This way you don’t have to spend anything more.
The only question I guess is whether the HD VTR’s upconversion quality is good enough for you.
