    Yes, it is. We’re getting 4:4:4 out of our 2.2 TB xServe with no problems… you have to enable some cache settings and run RAID 0, but we’re getting the throughput no problem.

    My advice would be to check out Joe’s Filters https://www.joesfilters.com/ and see if the frame or field blend will help. From what I remember, the only program that will remove the CineFrame is Premiere…

    Wayne,

    I’ve had the Sony KD34XBR960 for two years as my home set… it’s great. Make sure you have help when you set it up, though… the sucker is heavy. I get great HD reception via a terrestrial antenna in the attic. Display is 1080i, though… not sure what it would do if you fed it 1080p.

    July 4, 2006 at 1:33 am in reply to: 24P normal 5th frame is repeating

    When you look at any 24-frame material on a progressive display (ie… powerbook screen, lcd) you won’t see the interlacing that is inherent in 29.97 video. They best way to see the pulldown in a 24P or 24PA clip is to look at it on an interlaced monitor (Television or Broadcast Monitor). Nattress also makes a 3:2 dectect plugin to check cadence. If you want to see only the progressive frames, run the clip through Cinema Tools and do a reverse telecine to true 24.

    When you have the log & capture window open, the second tab where you can check video and audio, there’s a preview check box in v5 that should allow you to pass the audio through to your speakers.

  • Yeah… the more I think about it, I think that was the critical misstep. It makes me wonder what extra bit of information comes across with a FireWire transfer. I know the dubs were made SDI->SDI, so any flags from the camera original DV weren’t carried across.

    My latest attempt is exporting reference QuickTimes, making sure the first frame of the reference QT is an A-Frame… I did a couple of tests, and this *seemed* to correctly reverse telecine the clips. I’ve got 225 to go… who knows.

    I believe slots 1 & 3 share the same bus and 2 & 4 do the same. If you’ve moved them around still have bandwidth limitations, I’m not sure what the solution is. I’d try to put the DeckLink in Slot 1 and the other card in Slot 4 and see if that works.

    If the hard drive you are playing the file from isn’t fast enough, you will not get smooth playback of the files… just a guess…

    A regular FireWire drive can only be mounted by one computer at at time. You might try to hook it up to one, then share that volume, and try to connect over the network, but you’re going to be limited by the ethernet connection between the computers. SAN (Storage Area Network) Drives offer multiple connections, but tend to be more expensive.

    July 29, 2005 at 8:34 pm in reply to: Audio changes length on export

    Have you converted the songs? CD audio is 44.1 kHz and FCP audio needs to be 48.0 kHz. If the length is different on the AIFF, it might be set up to export at 47.952 or 48.048. Open the AIFF in Peak Express (which I believe is still bundled with FCP) and look at the audio sample rate.
