I might have one after this weekend. I just purchased a 17x but will test before selling the 16x.

Gary,
Thanks for checking in.
I’ve got a big deadline today but will be able to visit this issue Monday…
Cheers : )

I have not been able to capture HDMI using HDV or DV deck control with BM Intensity.
I get the same message you do.
RS422 works but you need a deck that has it.

Hmm. I checked my tapes and found that yes, there is a single frame of audio dropout (not a full second) during playback.
What I’m curious about is why it matters. It’s a window dub right? It has no effect on workflow.
BTW- you can reduce the digitizing gaps over firewire to 1 second by duplicating the HDV deck control preset and adjusting the pre-roll to zero. Or if you need the whole tape as 1 clip then you’ll need the BR-HD50 and an Intensity card.

It’s all system independent so there’s nothing you can do to control that. All my compressed files for web act differently depending on the browser used (if viewing via web). If I have someone view a file from their desktop, which I think is what you are doing, I get stutters and bumps as well- and I have a Octocore Mac with 8 gigs of RAM! The only way for me to avoid all these things is to play the file back from my RAID but, because it’s using quicktime and the graphics card for playback, I still get the bumps. The only way to avoid this 100% is hardware playback.
Hope this helps!

I’m assuming you are not using a monitor with an Black Magic or AJA device- just using the computer monitor.
I know exactly what you are talking about. That little bump. I’m 99% sure it’s a graphics card display issue. When I use my Black Magic Intensity I never see. When I use the graphics card hooked up to another LCD via DVI-D I see the bump.
Just to clarify, it’s not actually in the footage, just a display issue. These are the little things you run into without a standardized pro rig such as BM or AJA. That said I think it’s a damn good solution without having to pay $4-$10K.

I can’t say enough about this thing (Ultramatch Pro 2496). I use it in my FCP setup- it just works. Best value I think I’ve ever seen.

I’m 99% sure it’s there in the menus. Have you found it yet?

Eventually they end up as the same rez and frame rate. It’s how they get there that is different.
So the only difference is that JVC shoots to tape (pixel for pixel) on HDV while Panny shoots to P2 as DVC Pro HD (anamorphic).
BTW- the glass on the JVC’s 16x fuji is probably slightly worse than the glass on the HVX. BUT it’s fully manual operation makes it ideal. The cool thing is that you can upgrade the lens but will cost serious cash.
The only reason we went with the JVC is because of the ergonomics. For serious run and gunners there is really no other option except Canon’s half shoulder mount H1.

Pro cameras certainly do not have auto focus, so yes. This is normal.
