There ar e good number of 35mm adapter manufacturers on this same site. These clips were part of our P2 workflow demo on the NAB floor, but all of the clips were about our 3rd party partners.

Hi,

24P on the DVX100 is really at 29.97 with a pulldown. There are actually two different versions of how this is accomplished. One is a standard 2:3 pulldown and you should be very careful on where you place your edits as it will impact any further encoding that might happen with say a render to DVD. It does have all the look of 24P but the sequence should not be disturbed, unless you render out the 24 frames.

The second version of a 24P is called 24PA and this has a 2:3:3:2 pulldown. This should be easily extracted into the Avid media bins on digitizing. This sequence can be easily determined by looking at the video. The frames should look like this AA BB BC CC DD. In the 5 frame sequence there will only be one that has a field of one and a field of another. The other four will be solid progressive frames.

If this is not what you have as you look at the footage, and you have 2 frames that are interlaced, then you have the standard 2:3 pulldown.

The reason we did it this way was because no body wants to have to go out and buy new stuff just to watch a 24P timeline. We made the standard video recording device record 24P over 60i.

Hope this helps,

Jan

Actually at NAB this year, FujiFilm announced their plan to offer P2 cards I believe in the second quarter.

I know the dates of the release of the Varicam to be correct as I lived in LA for only a very short time frame. I moved to NJ in January of 2002 and it was already out and cranking. Now Gary’s got me rethinking the rest though, could it have been 2003 that the 1394 interface for DVCPRO HD was working? Noah, when did we sucker you onto the Apple stage area in our booth, wasn’t that the same year you met Monica?

All the best,

Jan

This is most certainly a case for the use of metadata and using Raylight as the import tool. With the metadata you would be able to name the clips and organize the clips by name and they would be incrementaly numbered from the first shot to the last. Raylight, from DVFilm.com, supports the metadata into the bin so you can see the user clip name.

Much easier than trying to sort it out by time code. And in that same metadata you will have record of which camera shot what.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

The very first group to AJ-HDC27s did not have variable frame and were sold to NASA. That was in early 2001 or late 2000. I was living in LA at the time, the Varicam in it variable frame rate version was introduced in 2001 and we basically had people look at us as though we had a screw loose, but then they quickly caught the idea.

They started to become popular toward the end of 2002 as more edit systems started to work with 720P. 2003 was a tuning year for the Varicam, more knew how to deal with the overcrank and undercrank, and 2004, well Noah you were there in our booth at NAB 2004 when Apple introcued 1394 and ingest to a native DVCPRO HD timeline, this last piece seemed to seal Varicams future. Editing HD on an FCP system as easily as if it were DV.

Sure is a fun business,

Jan

Hi,

I have never seen this. Don’t know if it will happen again, but if it does, I am sure that Panaosnic would like to take a look at both the camera and the card.

Thanks,

Go to http://www.panasonic.com/nab
We are uploading from the NAB floor in the P2 Workflow demo area. The product managers have been recorded and “flashed” to the site, along with a good number of our partners. This site will grow daily.

All the best,

Hi,

You need to be running at least 5.0.4 to get the P2 to work. And for the Duel Adapter I am thinking it was developed under FCP 6. And just for the record, and the other guys here thathave the history in working with 5.0.4 it really is recommended that you upgrade to 5.1.2.

The AVC-Intra program you found has absolutely nothing to do with making the P2 work but rather footage from the AJ-HPX2000 or 3000 shot with the AVC-Intra side of their capabilities work.

Hope this helps,

Jan
