Hi Philippe,
maybe because today the URSA Mini is not yet available, so if “TODAY” you need a cinema camera… Production 4K or URSA v.1.0 (or Arri Alexa) 🙂
Ciao,

Paolo

April 4, 2015 at 10:41 pm in reply to: JVC GY-LS300 Low Light test: 4K@25p

Hi,
A couple of weeks ago when I was making a demo of ivsEdits at the JVC booth in a trade show, the local representative of Atomos asked me to read some files recorded by the shogun and an LS300, both HD and UHD. The 4k ones had a bitrate of about 800Mbps and I was able to read them without problems. I don’t know if they used SDI or HDMI.
Best Regards,

Paolo

Hi Johnny,
camera bodies can’t be upgraded to 4K. You would need new studio cameras. I think that JVC will realease new ones at the NAB.

About the recorder, AJA KiPro are very expansive, for your need a BMD Hyperdeck shuttle would be nice. It supports several options for recording, and uses a standard SSD drive as storage unit, so very cheap and fast at the same time. They offer the best price per GB and the best price per performace.

Be careful to used units, there are two models and the first one, discontinued, can record uncompressed only.

Best Regards,

Paolo

Hi Neil,
Axel Technology Youplay is a well designed contribution player designed to playback most kind of files with all the options that you may require. It exists in a free version but the professional versions may be expansive.
I think it is based on FFmpg so it should be able to playback all the most used file formats (I had a demo version for a couple of months and it was able to playback all of my files).

Best Regards,

Hi Bob,
wonderful prices but please note that the 40×40 Videohub router lists a little bit more, i.e. 2995.00USD (that is cheap too 🙂 https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/smartvideohub

The multiviewer costs ten times less than the competitors!

Hi,
many playout systems doesn’t allow to route the audio to the sound card because it may introduce A/V out of sync. If you want to de-embed the audio, there are several options.
The best one would be to use another BMD card like Decklink Studio 2 or 4K that has all the A/V outputs you may need.
If you want to use the Decklink Mini Monitor, how many audio channels you may need to de-embed?
Best Regards,

June 28, 2014 at 11:20 pm in reply to: Question About Ultrastudio SDI—Again

Hi Bill,
I think that, now, Blackmagic doesn’t support the Ultrastudio SDI on MAC. If you take a look at this page https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/ultrastudiousb3/techspecs/ you will see that the only supported OS are Windows 7 64-bit or better ( and many people think that there is no better Windows than 7 🙂

Hello Steven,
I use it on a PC, but yes, you can capture to the same Mac you are using to control the Atem TVS; you just have to plug both Ethernet and USB 2.0 cables between your MAC/ATEM, and you can start/stop capture using the bundled Blackmagic Media Express software.

December 2, 2013 at 11:17 pm in reply to: Can anyone Recommend a Quicktime HD recorder?

Hello Steve,
I think that you can solve all of your problems using a single codec for both classrooms, i.e. Prores HQ. High quality and compressed. I don’t use iMovie, but I remember a post that if you install the tryout version of FinalCut Pro X, it will install the codec to support Prores into iMovie.

I asked you about the control because I don’t know if you are aware that you don’t need the Panasonic recorder, because the Atem TVS records H264 video, up to 25Mbps, thanks to an hardware H264 encoder. You’d just have to plug the USB cable between it and your laptop and you’re ready to capture using Media Express or any other software that supports the Atem.

Best Regards,
