Thanks Jeremy,

I had a feeling that 59.94 was identical to 29.97, but I could not find any conclusive evidence on the internet. I have all the other hardware I need. I have set up a 8 drive sata raid with the sonnet x-8 card. It has been working very well for me so far. I get about 450 mb/s read and write with a half full raid.

Is there a good intnete dtabase or information web site that I should use as a reference for these little distictions like 1080i 59.94 is the same at 1080i 29.97…..

On another note where can I find the 4.4.4 RGB codec. It does not seem to have been installed on FCP when I installed the latest version of the aja software package?

Thanks David For the info,

I had a feeling that I would trancode 720p to 1080i on a quicktime timeline. I and happy to hear that quicktime does a good job of this, but I still have another qurestion.

How about sending out 1080i 59.94? Can the Kona card send out this formate for mastering? It is not one of the fram rate that the card is advertised to work with in 1080i. Se Below the teck specs from the AJA web site. Has anyone had luck send 1080i 59.94 out to a HDCAM deck with teh Kona 2 Card?

Hey Luke,

I gather from the posts that the bridge card will not be out for at least one to two months, but is the multibridge extreme going to ship soon?

Also on the subject of the bridge card, will there be any ruduced performance out of the multibridge extreem if you are useing the PCI-X to PCI-e bridge card instead of a direct PCI-e connection. Does the 133 or 100 mhz PCI-X slots deliver enough bandwith?
