[Pat McGowan] “Are you saying that the camera firewire output generates 1080 60i streams no matter what the aquisition settings? Should we be working 1080i on the AXIO then?”

that’s not what I said, The previous posts were about how the hvx200 outputs 1080

The camera by default sends out out whatever video format you are shooting, be that 480, 720 or 1080. The hvx200 additionally can “cross convert” between the 1080 and 720 formats when sending out that data over the component out cable. ( you have to jury rig something to get the audio out via the headphone jack at the same time when using the CMP/OUT.)

REMEMBER the greatest amount of functionality with the 200 is in 720p – you get the most amount of time on the P2 cards, the greatest flexibly with frame rates and functions.
IMHO the camera is optimized for a 720 progressive workflow.

My post workflow centers around staying is the progressive format until it needs to be played in anything else. I work with progressive captures why go interlace ( with it’s larger storage requirements and thru put needs) when I can stay is the relatively low bandwidth (by comparison) 720 progressive.

[Barry Green] “Yes, because 1080p is recorded on the HVX carried within a 1080i data stream, and the 1200A supports recording in 1080i.”

24 frame content in 1080 is handled in the HVX in the same fashion as it is in the NTSC world. The 24 frame content needs have the pulldown (redundant or duplicate frames) removed from the 60 interlaced fields of the video stream.
The camera will only record the 24 discreet frames without pulldown added on the P2 card in the 720p24PN mode.

your answers will vary when they come from a camera guy (barry) or a post guy (me)

[Linda] “In using the P2, but recording directly onto a 1200a deck, is it at all possible to record 1080p?”

Nope

the format the HVX200 is sending out is via FW is 1080i60, the camera itself cannot send anything other than that over the FW bus.

[Onomontopeka] “I keep hearing about this, but I’m always looking for the opposite – Windows machines running Mac OS would be far cooler.”

I am with Walter, I have always laughed that Wintel Machine were cheaper. when you think about all the stuff that apple ships in it’s hardware (Gig -E for example) that was very expensive to add to a stock wintel machine and still is with some brands, There were first to include DVD writers in laptops, wireless, Firewire, DVI out, optical audio is stock configurations.

Now if they just felt the same way about OpenGL, and full GPU support.

Bob

AJA outlines the procedure on their web site https://www.aja.com/pdfs/AJA_whitepaper_HDV.pdf

it also covers the only way to currently capture 720p24 from the JVC camera also.

[Chris Baldwin] “The Citidisk press release says it records the MXF via Firewire. Really? The full P2 MXF or the metadata less Firestore MXF?”

The FW connection on the HVX200 can only send a SMPTE standard video signal while in the record / Playback mode.

MXF data is NOT passed down the FW or USB chain at the same time as the video is.

MXF data CAN be transfered( ie:copied) from a P2 card in the camera via FW but not while the camera is in a recording mode.

[Don Wilson] ” I think the CitiDisk unit I’m
anxiously awaiting has to do the same until Panasonic releases a couple of
codec items to them and they can implement all DvcProHD and variable recording formats
onto the disk drive.”

Don
it is the nature of the HVX200 the content coming out of the FW port will always be in video stream mode NOT MXF.
VIdeo traveling over FW must conform to the SMPTE spec of the format you are shooting — which all equal 60 frames/fileds per second depending on your chosen format.
