Nice post Barry. I would definitely support AVCPRO as a name. I didn’t see you at SMPTE. Were you there?

Didn’t get that info from the show Jiri. Two models at the same time? Or if they delay a VBR XDCAM HD, can anyone afford to wait a year or 18 months from now? I don’t know. It’s very destabilising.
The interesting thing is that the F23 does 1-60 frame in 1080, but maybe that’s to do with the SR recording format. There was also talk of the XD being pushed back to April 2008. But I guess we’ll have to wait and see. This practice of “pre-releasing” cameras that are a year or even two years from being actually shipping is a worrisome trend from all the manufacturers. The methodology is probably to destabilise the buying pattern. “Don’t buy that other camera. If you wait just a little bit longer, we can…..”

I’m afraid I think it IS so. I was told by a Panasonic rep that it’s technically not possible at this time to do variable frame rate in the 1920 x 1080 sensors. Sony apparently is in exactly the same boat with the 2/3″ XD, as is Panasonic with the 3000. It is doable with 720P but not 1080P. 1080 50P is not a ratified standard yet which only add murk to the view. I was left with no doubt at the Sony stand that the camera will not ship with VFR.

While I was at SMPTE in Sydney last week, I heard it from the horse’s mouth (or the apple’s core). Yes native AVC-Intra support is coming for FCP, and probably within the next few weeks. It is being worked on at this very moment.

Hi Bill,
Do I take it that 6.3 works in Vista 64 but not XP64?

Absolutely no info or buzz on Infinity. They are meant to be shipping before the end of this month. I don’t think so. With the 2100, if I go for P2 I may wait for the HPX3000. I’ll check them out at SMPTE. I’m there Tuesday/Wednesday.

Bob, the HPX555 is the Japanese version. Do a Google to confirm. Global Media have been around for years and sell heaps into Australia from their New Zealand warehouse. Be careful spreading misinformation.

I use a Maxtor One Touch III 500gb to transfer from P2. Nice cheap external drive with rubber padding and good reliability.
