My project is a DVCPRO HD 720P taken from 2 Varicams. I edited the entire feature on my IMAC 24″ with upgraded RAM and VIDEO card. The project was taken via hard drive to a Davinci 2K Plus for color correct/grade, then uprezed to 1080P and final out put on a D5 master.
I have a UVW-1800 and for some foreign market deliverables will be providing Beta SP. I can go straight from my master for this but would have to go to a rental house and pay for something I was hoping to do from home. I have the final project in several different formats/codecs, etc. I can go straight to a canupus converter and S-VHS into my UVW-1800 with unbalanced audio through a Mackie mixer. (This will be for M&E audio only) Didn’t think this would be the best. Would an AJA card yield anything better?
I didn’t want to have to invest in anything too expensive as I am not delivering out to Beta SP too often (I usually went out from a firewire DVCPRO deck, which worked fine for local cable, but I don’t have that deck anymore. I figure with channels going HD after the first of the year my UVW-1800 may become obsolete. All of my former Beta SP projects came from DVCPRO (25mbs) and were shot in 4:3. For local cable commercial stuff.
I don’t know why I get so much flack for my IMAC. I love editing on it…. plus I easily lug it around to show off the film in HD, used it at a convention, etc etc.
Thanks for any help.

So both options can handle the workflow nicely? What kind of performance can I expect?
