I actually get the blink when there is no sync as well 😉
Usually reboot fixes this for few hours – but not always-Kaspar

Make sure you do not have more adio channels than you need. If you are on that critical level removing the audio might help.

There is no composite HD signal!?
You can only use downconverted composite-Kaspar

Evrything you have to render in FCP (basically evrything but straight cuts) will be rendered in 8 bit RGB and badded to 10bit so you will have to evrithing in after effects, motion or shake to make full advantage of the RGB codec.

OK some quircks in the plan:
So far I have been using my dp 2.0 to capture straight to disk from F750 as 10bit 1080i 50 or 25psf – I have fife disk raid 0 and never have had any raid problems (insert all supersticus rants here that this luck will prevail)
Now I need to capture RGB and need a bigger raid hopefully will have some PCIe raid cards by spring time – rocketraid is very promising, So if I decide to build raid10 by using HW raid0 and softraid raid1 and loose a disk then the rebuidl will take forever (at least longer time that I will have to fix the problem on the set)
Now huge has background rebuild (can it be paused) so I can continue my work without redunacy while capturing and rebuild whenever I can?
Or this will be no help because all my data is still at risk while the rebuild has not finished?-Kaspar

So far I have made my business by purcahasing things that I can start using from the day that they will arrive but also will work in two years whan some of the components have been upgraded – I do understand this is pretty much rocket science (and its fun to push the technology to it’s limits)
Just that I have always thought that magic Xraid will make my problems go away – apparently it’s good – but not good enough

But how about SATA 16 drives raid 10 (two 8 drive raid0’s) should deliver 240MB/s @ the low end – this should be enough with safety margin right?
Plan for now is to buy the quad mac and start working on shake project over gigE to my cuurent dual 2.0 with attched raid0 8 drives (I did capture 1h and 10 minutes on that and it did work fine)
and when other HW follows – I will upgrade
I do not want to buy hyper expensive and one leg in the grave SCSI drives-Kaspar

The thing is that I need some financing help when I am going to bui an FC Raid Array,
So I am back @ sq 1 – basically have 2 x external 8 port sata raid0 and have that mirrored to raid 10
Drawbacks would be on 2TB less possible storage and no sata cards for PCIe @ the moment.-Kaspar

It would seem the only way to use Xraid for RGB 1080 50i format would be to use sheer video codec?
