How about I shoot 720p50 on both??? might help. Delivery is SD digi anamorphic.
I’ve never used pro res much, my ingest is as files so I guess I’d have to media manage (which is something I’ve always avoided) is it hard?
Thanks,

Thanks for the info. but it’s just the MXO I’m looking at, I have an old dual core pci-x G5….
Happy Christmas in Longford from Galway but now in Dublin….

Thanks for letting me know. I’m thinking of the MXO as I don’t want to buy a new tower to get pci-e and the HD monitoring seems pretty good too. Given the move to tapeless acquisition I imagine it’s still a popular option…

It does help, I like 720p50, shot my last job with it. I am tempted to invest in a Kona but I think it means buying a whole new G5 as well ( one pci-x G5 with Decklink extreme sd for sale!! )….
Or maybe I find a post house as you mentioned, I hate to compromise on broadcast quality….

I’ll experiment with the various options. Thanks for all the advice.

Thanks guys for all the informative answers. Just on that last one Rafael… are you saying I write my finished sequence back to SxS as XDCam, then bring it back in using AJA or BM to downconvert or are you saying bring in downconverting in the camera??
If using a card why not just write to tape using AJA or BM downconversion?

I’d love to get a new card (currently on a decklink extreme SD) but I think I’d have to change my computer as well (currently on a pci-x G5, reckon all the good stuff is now pci-e ?? ). So maybe I’ll suffer the render time hit as long as quality isn’t compromised..

Thanks again,

Johnny

Thanks for that, the perfect app… I managed to get FCP onto my laptop so I reckon that covers me!
Thanks to all for the help.

Thanks guys, I’ll contact Apple and keep the QT method as a contingency plan.

I tried that but (and I’m not a criminal!) my serial numbers are for upgrades going way back and I’ve lost the original serial (for fcp 5 or so). I know every hackers says that but in my case it’s true!

Thanks, I did repair permisions and don’t have disk warrior etc., no joy…
