Hello,

Thankyou for replying to the post.

We will be getting loads of footage, hours and hours, this is why we are looking for an offline / online
solution.

The reason we wanted to go for a Miranda box is because we want to ONLINE in native HD ie highest quality possible quality.

Am I right in thinking that if we captured the footage via the M10E deck through firewire, we would be dealing with an Mpeg codec and therefore since the project requires lots of LAYERING and EFFECTS, we would be rendering alot, aswell as requiring alot of processing power.

So if we captured via the Miranda box, the media would be more manageable as we would create our own offline setting maintaining integrity of the framesize etc for online.

Also we would be working in a faster native environment ie not HDV codec.

Are we right in these assumptions

Cheers

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to join this conversation with a question.

So if you have a HDV recorder/player (sony M10E) can you work with HDV at a OFFLINE, capturing via firewire can you use the normal mac monitors with a BLACKMAGIC DECKLINK, to monitor at offline?

Then for the online, you would use a MIRANDA box to recapture the HDV at HD quality via SDI of the MIRANDA box, and then you would need a HD mac monitor with a HD link box?

Any help greatly appreciated

Cheers
