I have been using DVRack as part of my workflow with my Z1 since I got it. It is easy enough to set up a laptop to match your camera and studio equipment so you get consistent results, whether in the studio or in the field. Like someone else said, know your equipment, know your results. I find DVRack invaluable for setting up the different picture profiles on the Z1 and the disk capture takes away the stress of tape drop outs. I wouldn’t go back to not using it.
