Thanks Noah…
Keep it simple. Should always remember that!

Jeremy,
I’m doing a very short show with footage from various sources, in addition to the HPX500. So my thought was to cut the whole thing in Pro Res 422, which I find preferable than converting everything to DVCPro HD. But perhaps my thinking is flawed.
Thanks,
Paul

Thanks Steve.
I suppose I could use my HPX 500 to ingest from.
Best,
Paul

Thanks Jeremy,
As I feared it can’t be done directly.
However I do have a Kona 3 card. Is there any way to convert
the output of the P2 reader to HD SDI? Probably not, but I thought I’d ask anyways.
Thanks again!

Thanks Brad, I’ll try with this configuration

Thanks Michael, that’s a big help.

Hi Shane,
There is a tab in the inspector labeled GOP. Under that tab there are settings: GOP structure, GOP size and Open or closed radio buttons.
That’s what I was referring to.
Thanks,
Paul

Thank you Brad.
That’s the info I was looking for. And in your experience will this be the best setting for files originating as HD?

Thanks again and best,
Paul

Shane,
Thanks for your speedy reply.
I was asking whether there is a trick to choosing something special in the GOP settings in Compressor under the GOP settings tab.
Is there?
Best,
Paul

“Sort/Open GOPs and rise the Average data rate to 7,5 (7,7) and Max data rate 8,5 or so”

Thanks Rafael,
I am familiar with the quality settings. But I was asking about the GOP settings: GOP structure/GOP size/OPEN or CLOSED found under the GOP tab.
I don’t know whether changing GOP will affect image quality.
That was the essence of my question.

Thanks again for your help!
Best,
Paul
