[Stephen Bull] “We have a similar problem with our Media 100 HD system when mastering to Sony VTR’s, but we get an extra frame added to the edit point. “
Stephen,
do you still see this problem? Do you have access to a HDCam deck to test it? If yes, send me an email ; maybe we can figure out why this is happening on your system and not with our setup.
Boogerd, which kind of decks are you using? Are you mastering HD or SD?

[Kieran Matthew] “What kind of limitation?”
The original P6000 boards are not “Lossless”-capable and cannot be used (reliably) in a G5/chassis setup.

[Lawrence Marshall] “According to their new product brochure, the new systems will support the following codecs: animation, Motion JPEG B, and “DV Codecs” (my quote marks.). Sounds vague… does that mean all flavors of DV codec: DV, DV-CAM, DVC25, DVCPro50, DVCPro100HD??”
DV and DVCPro25 and DVCam are the same codec, only recorded to different tape formats. But yes, that

Larry,
you can choose between various otput formats for the SDI outs, but you can only use SD or HD 1080i as the Media standards. And I would doubt that 4 SATA drives deliver enough performance for uncompressed 1080 streams. V11 which should be out in June (2006) does support compressed HD material…

As you might know Media 100 HD does not work natively in 720p, it converts it up or down to 1080 or SD.

One thing you should consider: the software version (both the software “level” like XS, XR,… and the software version like V8,…) is tied to the board serial. So if you get a “new” board you need an encryption code for whatever software version you want to use with this particular board. Buying a board without the appropriate license won

[Michael Slowe] “I read in the Media 100 HD manual (page 2-15) that a 10 bit image carries 4 times more data per channel than an 8 bit image so it all depends on whether your system can handle it.”
While a 10 bit image has 4 times the resolution of an 8 bit image (1024 values for each color channel/pixel instead of 256) it only needs 25% more drive space and performance. Usually it should not make a big difference for going to MPEG, but it can if you e.g. want to colorcorrect the footage.

[Michael C.] “Does the same bug exist when shortening a clip (pre-render) in the timeline?”
No. Shortening is fine.
[Michael C.] “Also, any word on why you can not print a bin in “details” view?”
I would look into V11 when it gets out…

[Todd Mason] “Floh,
I’m still using Media 100 HD 10.1.1 and I’m trying to export (onto the MAC as QT) a very long SD (2-hr) program, to make a DVD, with no success. As you know, there are many bugs with export (to export, I must render everything which causes problems with every freeze frame and many titles). Do you think upgrading to 10.1.3 would solve some of these problems? “What kind of problems are you seeing there? As suggested you should create a copy of your timeline and render everything there. After rendering check the results, and then do a by-ref export. There
