Ok now I want you to do a few simple tests.
1. Start a new project with a new NTSC or PAL Full D1 about 5 seconds long.
2. Create a New colored Solid. Somthing other than black.
3. Scale it so that is about 15% the size of the screen and put it on the left.
4. Animate it crossing the screen to the right in about 2 second.
5. Open the AJA Preview panel and check these settings.Primary format matches your comp exactly.
and the Auto resize function is unchecked.It should playback. If it does not let me know wether you are in PAL or NTSC and a way to send you a file for testing.

I do a lot of chromakey work. Depending on how good the shoot is , lighting, exposure, etc, you MAY get a better result injesting via the SDI. The reason, There is a conversion going on albeit digital from the native digital format on the tape to HD SDI. This CAN result in some smoothing that will help you in keying. Now I emphasized MAY and CAN these are always subjective. I will often try a small clip in the native dvcpro codec first, after all it takes up less HD space. If that proves to be troublesome around the edges then I will ingest a clip through HDSDI. Of course the best way to do this is to take a system into the studio and record straight off of the camera HDSDI.

Try this for me.
Open AE go to the windows pulldown and select AJA Playback. This will open up the AJA playback module. Open your clip in here and see if it plays. Let me know if it does.Kevin

Are you talking about Profile 1.0 vs. Profile 1.1? If you are then a player that plays profile 1.1 would have to play profile 1.0. Profile 1.1 only adds extra capabilities like picture in picture. Currently only the big boys using BluPrint or Sonic BD-J would be able to do this.

If you are using FCp then the answer is yes.

Matrox has a codec package that will allow you to read and write DVCPRO 50. It is free. They created it back when they had the digisuite line of products. If you simply need to read and write DVCPRO 50 in the AVI format this would work. Unfortunately there is no quicktime codec for the PC.

That is unknown until PPro is finalized, but I would doubt it. You could always download the public beta and test with a simple DV project.

Probably not. You really need a workstation class motherboard for uncompressed HD. All of the Xeon boards/systems listed are dualcore/quadcore Xeons. Plenty of speed there. The real test is in the chipset/bus architecture. That is where you will find the workstation boards more stable and better for handling Uncompressed HD.

There are many memory improvements in premiere that should increase your workflow. Also if you are dealing with lots of Bins and 100’s if not a couple of thousand clips you will like the new bin search function as well as multiple floating bins. AJA showed the new version of premiere pro at NAB on the mac and PC. When Adobe ships they will ship new drivers to support it.
