Couldn’t wait. Got a Sennheiser 3041 combo. Thanks for the heads-up on Letrosonics.

Thanks Chris. I’ve bought a Sennheiser 3041 and mic rig. You get what you pay for in end (most times!)

Thanks for that. I’ve gone for a Sennheiser slot-in 3000 series mic system. The Letrosonics would be nice, but I want the general convenience of a on-board system.

Agreed Eric. Axio and XDCAM HD are a great match. The 8-bit render thing is waht kills Axio LE for me, but for most work it probably wouldn’t be an issue.
I really wanted to get the new HDX900 DVCPROHD camera but I’d need to spend 25g’s on a deck. Those days are gone. I’ll be watching Infinity and the new Panasonic HPX2100 for a similar workflow to Axio/XDCAM.

Just cutting a corporate now in Premiere on XDCAM HD. We plug the F350 camera into the firewire and either digitise from down-converted DV or HD-SDI into a Decklink. We have to treat the XDCAMHD as a tape VTR as Premiere can’t support MXF ingest from the camera, unless you want to go Axio. The downconverted DV is a bit yuck but workable. The HD MJPEG capture gives very nice results and can play back on a low-drive raid system. I edit in SD so I have to scale and render.
I was going to buy XDCAMHD this week but have had to go for DVCPRO50 again for technical and price reasons. I’m habging out for the Big Three; Grass Valley Infinity/REV Pro, Panasonic AJ-2100 P2 and the 2/3″ XDCAMHD.

We’ve been using DVCPRO50 PAL with Decklink and Premiere for some time and have just bought a SDX900E to replace our 910WA. I go into Premiere via SDI as a 10-bit uncompressed capture. The quality is excellent and transparent. Our 960 deck won’t do firewire, but with the price of drives and the new low-bandwidth MJPEG codec from Blackmagic, I wouldn’t want to.

This problem is not exclusive to Matrox. Check you haven’t got any corrupt graphic files in the render area or images with the wrong color space/mode. Use Photoshop to check this. Try trimming the shot if it is video a few frames either way. PPro doesn’t like rendering on the first or last captured frame of a clip sometimes.

Seem to be working nicely Luke. I’ll give the MJPEG a go…
