These figures do seem nice, however, the macintels still are no match for a Quad G5.
Come August and we might see really fast Intel Towers. The Core Duo is a mobility chip mainly so.
Sad that Adobe won’t be coming with intelified versions untill at least a year away (After Effects, sob sob

Sweden uses -18 dBFS. But the whole audio-level thing is very confusing.

What kind of file sizes are we talking about here?

Well, if it doesn’t handle 8-bit it doesn’t.
My biggest question off them all is when an AXIO-type solution will come to Final Cut. According to Maxtrox at IBC Apple was redundant to have such solutions in FCP since Maxtrox does do alot of things “on there own”. A non-matrox system might not have the same pluginset as a Maxtrox system does, for instance.
Is this something someone here as insight to? Would an edit on a Maxtrox Axio LE/Premier Pro 2 “just work” to open on another Premier Pro system? We’ve done this quite a few time on Final Cut (AJA <-> Cinewave <-> Blackmagic), works like charm usually. This is both edits, effekts AND media.

I’d opt for the “using 8-bit video, doing final-rending in 10-bit” almost. However, from what I’ve heard Apple’s 8-bit codec isn’t top-notch, or am I wrong here?

I don’t think it will do it in what FCP states as “Full Quality RT”. You’ll get a green bar, probably. I can test this at work in an hour or so.
8-bit will give you full RT however.

I notested this too with a project we did in HD. Clips that came out of AE7 we -
HDCAM also suffers from lower resolution than HDCAM SR (1440×1080 vs 1920×1080).
A filmscanning/post house here in Stockholm helped us with scaning and transfers of an edit shot on film, later to be edited in HD. They really felt strong about NOT going the HDCAM road. We finally went to HDCAM SR and then staright to hard drive 4:2:2 10-bit uncompressed.

If you do the up-conversion externally you also have to take into account HOW you mange the up-converted output. HDCAM will degrade your material alot (3:1:1 color space compared to 4:2:2 of DigiBeta for starter). Going HDCAM SR is a great, but perhaps not so cheap (or easy) route.
But it would be interesting to hear how the Kona 2 (or 3) compares to dedicated conversion hardware. Also how big the difference is compared to a software up-conversion.
