Just out of interest, Walter – for SD on the Panasonic, is there any way of making the image smaller rather than taking up the whole screen? I’m working on a 2600W today for the first time and a digibeta shot programme output from a Kona via SDI to the monitor looks not very nice at all. I’d be just as well viewing it on a computer display….
It looks like its blowing up the image to fit the screen and giving me the effect of having zoomed into the image. Not good for trying to check focus on shots (it was offlined at 15:1 on Avid). Do you know if its possible to reduce the image size for SD?

I’ve used both quite a lot over the years and up until recently was always leaning towards the Blackmagic side of things. But to be honest, if I was setting up a suite now I think I’d probably head down the AJA route.
I’ve got an iO on my home suite which I had one problem with – the red on the component connection stopped working. Sent it back from where I got it from, they sent it to AJA. And rather than fixing it, AJA just swapped it for a new one.
Any other problems or questions I’ve had have always been answered within a few hours (I’m in the UK, so sometimes have to wait for them to get out of bed haha!)

I was starting to think that way… I’ve got the company I’m working with to get their credit card out 😉
Cheers.

Am I right in saying that the AJA convertor gives the dpx files a new timecode as one single QT file? Is there any way to access the metadata?
-
Aha!
Excellent – didn’t know about that converter. I’m working on a Kona3 system for this edit.
Thanks Gary. Very helpful.

Just out of interest, what is the quality actually like working in this way?
I’ve yet to upgrade to FCP6 and only usually use my Io for monitoring while grading. Is it good enough quality for that? Or is it not as good as an HD-SD downconvert? -
Well, I haven’t tried it in v6 yet, but I do hope you’re joking.
Once upon a time we didn’t just throw these things around in public….

Sorenson Squeeze does it too, doesn’t it?

Cheers, Andy.
And never fear – the camera won’t be connected to the laptop for longer than needs be. The idea is that we’ll plug it in, transfer the footage and then the camera op’s going to go off shooting more while I get cutting.
And RAM goes without mentioning – the MacBook Pro’s being bought specially for the job initially, so I’ve put my specs in for it 😉

Very very well.
