Arthur,
Just look at the ads on this page. On your right “G-Tech”, or your left Matrox…
I’d suggest clicking around all of these sponsors and you’ll find many answers to your questions.

Tim,
This thread is so “five years ago”.
Can’t we just edit?

At NAB this year there was a company showing this:
https://www.singularsoftware.com/pluraleyes/
It’s a program that syncs mulit cam clips by AUDIO waveforms, not timecode. It then will automatically
create a multiclip for you to edit with.If you’re doing a lot of multicam work, it’s definitely worth a look.

Jane,
To put it simply: You’re hosed!
There are no magical plug ins for this kind of “fix”. You’re on the right track thinking about “degrading” the good to sound more like the bad… but as you’ve discovered, this makes it all sound bad.
I’ve really got no good suggestions for you other than to confirm that you’re in a pickle and if you
can’t spend the money to send it to a professional mixer, there’s nothing that you’re going to do that’s
going to fix this mistake.STP has a great “noise elimination” filter. Find it. Learn it. Use it. Other than that… experiment till
you’re close.Good luck.

There’s your problem.
The data rate over ethernet is probably too low to support the data rate of
your digitizing stream.What format (DV, XDCAM, uncompressed, etc) are you trying to do?
Depending on how much traffic there is on your network, AFP will really only work with DV and lower.
We use systems connected Via AFP all the time, but we DON’T digitize. We only playback. As a work around, try digitizing to your local drives, then move the media (Via AFP) to your NAS.

2.5X RT isn’t fast enough for you? Geez. You must be too young to have worked with linear tape!
[steve knattress] “Every one tells me that this should be quicker! “
Who is “everyone” and what are their qualifications?
I think you’re confused between “proxy” ingest and full rez ingest. Yes, proxies load much quicker.
And NO, you can’t edit with them in FCP without transcoding them to a FCP friendly format.[steve knattress] “With avid I could edit with the proxy files (50xRT import) then “make hi-res”, this is not an option with fcp. “
You’re misinformed. We do EXACTLY that with FCP and XD-CAM. It’s the classic “off-line to on-line” workflow. You’re going to need to figure out some workflow details, but it can be done.
We use multiple PDW-U1’s in “FAM” to ingest mountains of media. Did you know that you can runTWO pdw-u1’s on the same computer… simultaneously? You can buy several PDW-u1’s for the cost of one 1500 and be able to bring in multiple streams of media simultaneously.
At NAB this year, there was a company in the Sony booth demonstrating a system that uses SIX PDW-U1’s to ingest six streams simultaneously on one computer. They added a second USB card to make it work. I’m told that the bottle neck is the USB speed Not the disc read speed. This system was not available yet, so don’t bother looking for it.
Meanwhile, either suck it up at 2.5X or figure out the “proxie” to on-line workflow for FCP.

[Rob Pitman] “Basically, ive got about 10mins to get in, cut, out and loaded onto the web so it needs to be immediate, ie as live!
“Have you looked at Telestream’s “Wirecast”? There’s a forum for it right here on the cow. It will allow you to go live directly to the web. (But you’ll still need to get the signal into the box using the suggestions above.)
