    Don’t trust anybody that is selling it for a lot under $5000 especially when they get close to $4100, that is just too good to be true.

    From Panasonic website
    Purchase the Panasonic AG-HVX200 and receive a FREE 8GB P2 card.
    Purchase a new Panasonic AG-HVX200 DVCPRO HD camera from an Authorized Panasonic Dealer from October 1, 2006 to March 31, 2007 and receive one (1) FREE AJ-P2C008HG 8GB P2 card (a $1,200 retail value) and a FREE copy of The HVX Book + CD by Barry Green (a $89.95 retail value)! Offer valid only for U.S. authorized product shipped to U.S. customers.

    So make sure whoever you buy from is an Authorized Panasonic dealer

    I buy a lot from B&H and Markertek online. You should call B&H to see when they expect them.

    It would be better to process the 24 to 29.97 in something like Shake. It is worth the $500 for just retiming alone. While you’re at it use Shake to slow down a clip and you will never do it in FCP again. I’m in no way a Shake guy but even I can do this type of stuff.

    BTW – what does a 3.75TB setup accually format to? With some of the systems mentioned here (Caldigit and Ciprico) what the the reasonable capcity limit, is it still 80-85% of the drive or are people pulling them closer to 90-95%?

    For a bit I was thinking this is getting out of hand and they are not seeing what I need, now I’m beginning to think I”M not seeing what I need. This has been very helpful (and yes a bit confusing) but I really need to think through redundancy.

    Thanks everyone for their 2 cents. I have a few weeks to gear up for this project so I will have to research this more fully.

    I hope I’m not beating a dead horse here, but people are say this CalDigit has protection, I’m asking, can it actually give you protection if the world of video editing where you need read speed. Apple disk utility can give you raid 1 or 10 also but I don’t think a Sata system can handle it speed wise.

    Raid 3 has always sounded like a great compromise but it seems like you start getting into +$10000 solutions to get that.

    I’m I correct here or is my thinking all messed up.

    But that is kind of what I have been ask, but not very well. How are you PROTECTED? My protection are the tapes but as I’m moving into the tapeless world this is a big concern. how do you balance performance with protection?

    [debbimita] “CalDigit’s S2VR HD can do hardware raid 0, 1, jbod and 10”

    Is anyone doing anything other than Raid 0 on anything like this for video? It sounds like a great feature but I don’t think it is being used in our world, I maybe wrong. Using Apple Raid I still get over 240Mbps read speeds.

    I think this goes along with the build your own system vs. buying from a VAR debate. There are benefits and security in buying from the VAR but there is more food on your table if you are ABLE to build your own system. 🙂 I like food!

    Last year I built a HD FCP system that has worked great, the only draw back was I needed to swap out HDs with a project of multiple concerts (8) with each having 6 cameras. I needed to use 3 sets of 4 300GB drives but only had a single Fusion 400 enclosure, It was a bit of a hassle but it worked great.
