I haven’t updated yet, but, I had this yesterday. This morning, I uninstalled and re-installed the AJA 7.0 driver. This seems to have solved my issues.

This hasn’t been my experience. Any FXScript or FXPlug transition works for me.

As a test, I media managed 90 gigabytes of 10-bit 1080i 29.97 to ProRes.
Results created new media that is 9.6 gigabytes!!
When I play this out to scope their is no “visable” differnce between 10 bit and ProRes.Because of this, our XSAN just became useful for HD!

Just another thought…maybe cheaper is the wrong word…more efficent? Who knows…just what works best for us.

I understand your point, although, at our facility, it is absolutely cheaper to dig everything. Having and editor tie up a deck for logging keeps the deck from being used for other digitizing sessions. Also, when a client come in with 20 tapes, best to dig all of it by an assisitant for 10-20 hrs and then log it post dig. The assistant then starts digging for another session…it what works best here as there are more editors cutting than decks.
But I do think desaturating all clips the same is a good idea…:-)
Good Luck.

I completely agree! With storage so cheap, capture everything!
Another method may be to log your shots and then make a media manager copy of what you want if your are concerned about media managmenet down the road for uprez etc. Media manager works quite good for copying logged material with handles.
I believe this will become standard workflow as so many formats etc emerge, not to metion ProRes! Its cheaper to set an in and out point and capture a whole tape than it is to log and batch capture.
My two cents….

The only thing I say right now is this, ATI1900. Floating point rendering is FAST!
Nvidia does not render in Float. This may change in the long run, but I love my ATI 1900.
I have 3 of the Tangent panels, although expensive, they helped me grade 50-75% faster. I have the CP200 BK, K and S. The deal that bummed me out the most was we told Tangent last year that the panels should be Black. We have the Silver…what’s in Apples booth this year…BLACK ONES…AHHHHH.
So, as we build out our new DI room at Splice, I’m hoping to sell the current tangents we own to upgrade to Black. Or, wait and see if something cooler, better and cheaper comes out. Trust me though, although the Tangents are $$$, there is a reason why, way more controls for everything on the Tangents.

Criminal? Hmm, not sure. My lawyer friend would say, if you buy “technology” from a company. You don’t actually buy the company, and/or it’s baggage. So, probably not criminal, but, capitalism at itds finest….FWIW.
Looking forward to NAB.
