[Jeremy Garchow] “What if I’m the recipient and I receive an MXF?”
Three options.
1) Call them and tell them to send a Quicktime.
2) Download the Avid trial, export a Quicktime.
3) Buy Avid. It’s cheap.

[Jeremy Garchow] ” Instead of “I’ll send you a ProRes” it will be “I’ll send you a DNXHD MXF!””
You don’t send an MXF. You send a quicktime encoded with DNxHD. If you get a DNxHD Quicktime go to Avid.com and download the codec pack. It’s free for both encode and decode, Mac or PC.

They said January?
Bottom of this page says Early 2012: https://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/software-update.html . That doesn’t necessarily mean January – could be the end of March.

I’m seeing it here too. On OSX 10.6.8, Chrome version 15.0.874.120, if that helps.

[David Roth Weiss] “I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be supported.”
The ioHD outputs through a firewire interface, doesn’t it? Media Composer 6 doesn’t support their own firewire hardware (Mojo and Adrenaline), so I think it’s PCIe or nothing. It would be great if I was wrong, but I’m pretty sure it won’t work because it’s firewire.

[Craig Seeman] “The ability to reposition shots, create pseudo dolly or tracking moves, cut between close or long shot from the same clip is valuable.”
It’s valuable sometimes, but I’ve seen it breed lazy shooting too. Ever been given all wide shots and told to punch in for the mediums and closeups, create tracking shots, etc…? It sucks.
Adding a dolly in post looks like a zoom, adding tracking in post usually looks fake. Reframing? That can be nice, but isn’t it easier just to shoot it right the first time?
Downscaling 4K to 1080p does give you an ultrasharp picture though, which is why I like it.
Back to the original question – who ultimately wins between Canon and Red? We do.

[Frank Bokoski, Jr.] “For SD projects we still run with the MOJO. “
I don’t think any of the Mojo or Adrenaline hardware will work with 6.
Regarding whether 5.5 or 6 will run – download the trial and try it. That’s really the easiest way. I’d definitely get more RAM though. Go to 16 – 24GB if you can, especially if you move to MC6 (it’s 64-bit, so it can use all that RAM).
