Well, using the K2 system test 2GB file size and uncompressed 1080i 10 bit setting, running Raid 3, and the disk is over 70% full (680GB used out of a possible 930GB), I get 167MB write & 175MB/sec Read. When the disk is empty i get well over 200 MB/sec. Does that help? Raid ) would go even faster, but I need the Raid 3 protection.

What format are you upconverting from?

[Jeremy Garchow]

Find someone with an FCP 4.5 install disk and they will have a panasonic disk that has some DVCPRO HD footage on it. There’s 1080i and 720p. It’s called “access HD” or something like that.

Why, it can be done before it hits the timeline. I am a former Media 100 editor, and let me tell ya… once, you get through the learning curve you won’t look back. When you are looking at the clip in the cavas, you will notice on the timeline that somwhere on the video and audio tracks there are links that determine where the video/audio should go. For instance, there should be a v1 link on the left (desingated with a small ‘v’) that is connected to whatever track is selected in the timeline (V1, V2, V3, etc. on the timeline). This same linking system applies on the audio tracks. For this example let’s say audio channel 1 is bad, and 2 is good. if your clip is in the viewer (get it in there by double clicking it) then you should see a v1, and an a1&a2 links on the left of the timeline track indicators (the ones with capital letters V1, A1, A2, etc). Drag the a2 link to the channel you want this audio to go in the timeline (let’s say channel A4). Simply, you are now assigning audio channel 2 from your clip to channel 4 of the timeline. Unlink audio channel 1 (the link between a1 and A1 will split). the left side of your timeline should look like this:

Now drag your clip from the viewer into the canvas to the overwrite overlay and edit the clip in your timeline. Once you et the hang of it, it’s much easier than Media 100. Also, this can be avoided if you now that your tape has two discreet audio channels before you capture. Open the log & capture window (Apple-8), click on the clip settings tab, and select A1+A2, or dual mono, or whatever you want (just a1 or a2 for that matter). Hope this helps.

If you are working at dv resolution (and only dv), this program is easy:

Otherwise use motion, or preferably after effects for nice moves.

Decklink does this in software, as opposed to Kona 2’s hardware. I’m not sure if you can select which type of crop you would like. After effects might be able to do a decent enough job. Also, if you have a 1200A you can do the downconvert from the SD-SDI out of there. In the menus you can choose whether nor not you want anamorphic or otherwise.
