By 29.97fps, do you mean select 59.98fps? I ask because there was no 23.98 -> 29.97 easy setup. Is there an auto mode on setting the frame rate for playback on the HDCAM (JH-3) or do you have to know how it was captured? Right now it’s at 23.98psf (before it was set to 23.98pd and psf).
Another question… how fast does the harddrive speed need to be to capture 1080i HD video from the HDCAM deck? 7200rpm? 10200rpm? RAID? We did a test on our 7200 and the Decklink program said at 1080i 4:2:2 at 8 bits would be at 9fps… yeeeeesh.
