Yeah, I did have that info already. I was actually wondering what the cost of the body will be for the Panny HPX3000.

Unfortunately my Spanish is limited to incomplete sentences! My German is even worse. Oh how I dishonor my parents, LOL!
You’ll probably have to make a custom setting for it from scratch. Dual-stream 10-bit RGB 4:4:4 isn’t a commonly used format. I’d wager less than 1% of the entire FCP community uses it. Making a new custom preset is a snap.
What is your source?

This was answered in the FCP forum. Please only post in one forum! Thanks! 😉

[Kevin Hedin] “In the end, I will want to edit both native 720p24, and also deliver 480i30 for SD. I’m trying to find a workflow.”
That is really the single most question you should always ask yourself… in the end!
If you shoot 720p24, you can down-convert it to 480p24, add 3:2 pulldown and bam, instant 480i60 (480i30 or 30i is an incorrect naming convention that gets used a lot).
I’m not a big fan of interlaced to begin with, so if it’s 1080, I like 1080p24 as opposed to 1080i60. If the choice is 1080i60 or 720p24, I’d go with 720p24, but that’s just me.
If you’re going to DVD and/or the web, your 24p finished video will benefit as well.

Did they tell you what the estimated street price will be on the body? Looks like a nice camera for sure.

I do like what I’ve been seeing so far with the EX1. I’m still a little unclear on true specs though. It says it scans at 1920×1080, full progressive, but what is the true pixel dimension of the sensors themselves? Sometimes the manufacturers are a little fuzzy with regard to verbiage in this area.
If it’s full raster 1920×1080, progressive, it should give the HVX200 a run for the money even though the EX1 looks like it will cost more.
And I *really* like the ExpressCard concept. I’m surprised they didn’t use 16 Sony MemoryStick slots, LOL.

Yes, in dual-link it can do 10-bit 4:4:4 RGB and LOG RGB. It’s 12-bit capable but can work in 10-bit.

PhotoJPEG at 99% or lower can introduce quite a bit of 4:2:2 chroma filtering. At 100% quality there’s debate whether it’s truly 4:4:4 but the quality is pretty pretty good, but not as pixel perfect as Animation. You might want to try PNG as an alternative. With images that contain a lot of solid colors, it can save a lot of file size space.
To see these examples, click the Codec Resource link in my signature.
I have a rule I use when rendering either RGB 4:4:4 Lossless (like Animation codec) or direct to 4:2:2 Uncompressed (like 8-bit Uncompressed)…
8/10-bit uncompressed – if the rendered clip will go to the NLE timeline (in my case, FCP) *and* there wont be any layers above that new clip in the timeline (that will further be rendered again).
RGB Lossless – if the rendered clip will go to the NLE timeline and I’ll add more video track layers to it (like text). This ensures the original clip stays pixel perfect and basically performs a first generation encode when it and the new layers in the NLE are rendered.

A G5 would be ideal, but using BitJazz + 2 or 4-disk SATA + ExpressCard should be able to handle it on a MacBook Pro. A 2-disk SATA isn’t that big. Even a 4-disk SATA with a MacBook Pro is much easier to lug around than a D5 deck without worrying you’ll have to sell your house should you lose or break the deck!
