If it’s an older reader, it may only be compatible with SD cards, not SDHC.

Thanks for the clarification, Alex. That’s what I figured, but the wording on the Blackmagic site could easily be misconstrued –and I’m always hoping to find something that will enhance the power of my Macbook Pro!

So, it’s a ‘save-people-who-don’t-know-what-they’re-doing-from-themselves’ kind of thing. Makes sense. Thanks, Abraham!

[Matt Taylor] “I know that the words “cheap” and “constant aperture” don’t go together, but I figured that if it existed, someone here would know.
We shoot mostly video with our DSLR and there’s been occasions where we want to push in on an interview subject during an answer without having to worry about the aperture adjusting.”
Matt,
I had that exact same dilemma when I started shooting with my GH2. I figured out how to solve the problem without buying any new lenses. I simply shoot everything in 1080p and edit in 720p. With the extra resolution you can fake a zoom in post or change up the apparent focal length by scaling some clips to 66.7% and others to 100%. It makes editing much more flexible and fun. Now, if you are required to have a 1080 final product, you’re back to lens hunting. Most of my stuff ends up on the web and 720p has been more than adequate.

I don’t think there is such a thing as a cheap constant aperture zoom. Why do you need to zoom anyway?

[Noam Osband] “720p, either 30fps or 60fps. i dont know why it doesnt seem to be working, and that’s a shame cause it seems like a great way to check focus! i hit 1:1 mapping, and the screen doesnt change size. nothing seems to happen.”
I know exactly why nothing is happening. The screen of the DP6 is natively 720×1280 resolution, so you are already seeing a 1-to-1 pixel view of your video! If you were shooting 1920×1080, however, you would be able to zoom in because you’re working with more resolution.

[Alex Gerulaitis] “I’d say unlikely: Thunderbolt’s data bandwidth is only 1/8th of a standard Gen 16x PCIe slot; probably inadequate for Premiere Pro purposes.”
Sonnet’s site says this:
“High Bandwidth—x16 (x4 mode) 1GB/s PCIe 2.0 slot perfect for special-purpose PCIe cards for video capture, Fibre Channel, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, digital audio, RAID control, multiple screen video, etc.”Sounds like it runs at 4x…?

I like to use the 1-to-1 pixel mapping to check critical focus.
