Hi Walter,

Please could you post a new link for the FCP guide you made for Broadcast safe color correcting on your blog – can’t get the old one to work – Thank you!

Also looking in Color under broadcast safe settings – what are your usual settings for Chroma limit + Composite Limit for broadcast programs in PAL.

Many thanks

Joel

>>”or on a desktop system that is powerful enough to process the uncompressed video file playback via the IoHD are 2 examples off the top of my head.”

Okay I’m confused, but this is exactly what I’m trying to get at. What are the limits with the IOhd connecting with a FW400

For example if I’m working in the field can I expect the FW400 to cope with ProRes + ProRes HQ playback of HD media as long as the Hard Drive + laptop allows full quality playback etc.
But what about uncompressed HD / DVCPRO HD codec media (HD + machine capable of playback but connecting to IOHD with FW400)

Hope I’m being clear, I want to understand that if you have a fastest enough raid system and the media in FCP sequence doesn’t need rendering to playback in full quality what will the IOhd work with by just using the FW400 and what would it definitely need a FW800 connection for.

Thanks.

So to clarify because the IO HD uses the FW cable as a data streaming cable – there is no need / requirement ever to use FW800 – Yes? The limiting factor is then always CPU or HD read/write etc.

Thanks, find it strange then that AJA advertise it as FW800 when all other posts clearly say you can only have the IOHD box connected to your FW bus and no other external HD’s etc.

Thanks
