No. Its telling me it has an invalid file structure. Which I was able to fix on some but not folders that were missing a file called INDEX.MIF. And I found out this was shot with the canon not the HVX. What I ended up doing was getting a plugin that allows me to read MXF files in QT and FCP and I brought them into FCP and are exporting them 422 so that they will be less troublesome in FCP. I don’t know what problems it could cause doing it this way or what the difference is doing it that way then with just going through log and transfer, but it seems to be working.

I actually think I am wrong, I think may have been shot on a canon. But if you know….

Thank you for the response. This is all very non specific. Maybe what I should be asking is, what would be the most universal compressor setting for the render.

For example I have one graphic that I want to send to many different companies to add to an edit, using different codecs.
Lets say they are all SD but one is using Prores 422 HQ, one is using DV NTSC, DVC PRO, 10 bit, 8 bit, etc.

Which out of the Quicktime compression setting would be most universal?

Thanks again

I also work for the same company. The LCD is what we have been using. And the image looked much sharper through the teranex as opposed to the kona 3.

The system specs are

MacPro 8-Core 2.8Ghz
CalDigit HD One 4TB External RAID
Kona 3
FCP Studio 2
JVC DT-V24L1DU Monitor

Thanks again

It’s DV but it is an HDV camera switched to DV. I was just trying to be clear. We have all that. What we wanted ideally was a DV deck with SDI, but we are in a time crunch and I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.

Thanks for your help

[Matt Wilson]

Thank you for the explanation. It’s just that we are dealing with HDV at the moment, which we don’t normally use, and are trying to get the best quality out of it.

[Matt Wilson]

Oh no…Not me, my boss. He wants everything at the very best quality, so if it’s not, I have to find out if there is any way we can do it, and why we can’t. Cover my ass. But I learn a little more at the same time, so I don’t mind so much.

Thanks for your help

In the manual it says I have composite and component out, but of course the breakout box only takes BNC. Now I have an adapter to make the out from the Camera BNC from (I can’t remember the name of the cable) the audio/video cable if you will, where do I go to on the break out box. Does the in work both ways or is it just SDI?

Thank you
