Hi Bob,

I went with a couple of ADA4’s to convert the audio to analog. Haven’t gotten them yet but will let you know how it works.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the post. When I put my tape into the J-H3, the Kona Control Panel said 1080P 30. I took the deck back to where I rented it from. What’s wierd is that he put my tape in and the display said the tape was 59.94. The deck only has settings for 23.98, 25 and 29.97. He put one of his tapes in and the deck called out 29.97.

We put my tape back in and the control panel said 1080 P 30. We swapped his back in and without doing anything except hitting play and the signal “jumped” to 1080 i 29.97.

The reason this 1035 thing is coming up is because when I did the shoot, the guy I hired had two 700’s and he rented a 900. I was led to believe that he had the card installed into his two 700’s to shoot 1080i. He was also going to do my online. I “think” what he did was guild the lilly and intended to do the conversion through the 500 deck and then I wouldn’t have ever known. He is now not doing the online. I was trying to recapture all of this footage as DVCPro HD so I could do the online and output with my MXO. This is speculation right now. Out of my 45 tapes, I believe 2/3 are this 1035 i and 1/3 are from the F900 at 29.97.

Does this make sense?

Thanks Alex. I understand exactly what you are saying. Unfortunately, in order to deliver a final product, I have to do some major upgrades. I am willing to take the chance on spending money and delivering a quality project but only if I have an idea of what the possibilities are. What I am working on is a series of 12-16 music concerts done live WITHOUT and audience, in a studio controlled environment with a consistent backdrop with artist interviews. I’m not looking to necessarily hit a home run but at least be able to amortize my expenses and some equipment. Hopefully when I make a name for myself here, I can demand more but now I haven’t a clue what they would pay for a consistent hour program. Is it $5k, 10K, more, less?
