Isn’t it possible to use the pulldown menu in the upper right of the Log and Transfer window and specify ProRes(s) in preferences?

Well I looked at both devices and had I known about them when we financed the package I would have probably considered them.
Since I was able to offload directly now, I think that wraps it for me. The copy function on the camera even has a verify function.
Just to check, does anyone think I would benefit from using Shotput and a puter or the Panny Management software and a puter rather than the cameras built in host copy and verify modes?

Looks like a great idea, again like the Panny box, wayyyyyy overpriced. Would be very nice to have though. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness in suggesting it. peter

Thanks to all of you. Since I posted I have successfully used my old PC laptop to transfer data from a P2 card to a hard drive, move the drive to the mac, log and transfer all the clips and then burn the original P2 data from the drive to a blue ray, then copy the blue ray back to the mac and again log and transfer it to a new project to test the restore aspect of my plan – all worked.
Today – with the cards in the camera – I tried a different FW drive (previously unsuccessful w. 500gb “MY Book”) & successfully formatted the drive from the camera, offloaded directly to the drive and again brought the files into FCP (7) and also burned another blue ray with the original P2 files for good luck.
It appears I have a two practical workflows – now to see which parts the crew adopts.
Thanks again for all your valuable input.

Thanks – Have not only read the manual on the subject, but called Panny Tech Support – who read me the same manual!
Your suggestion about the laptop is a good one, which I respect, but I don’t know how it will fly with the crew.
Using the direct to HD method, our proecedure is to be that they cannot delete that media until I tell them it’s on the Raid AND on Blue Ray.
I have ordered some USB adaptors to make the connection from the camera to the drive, so I cannot check that.
Using 1394 host mode, I cannot connect to either of 2 drives – the bus powered doesn;t power from fw and the My Book results in all PC menu item being grayed out but “setup” > “verify”.
So much for the manual. So I will speak to the crew about the laptop option – kinda of a shame – this was a sellin point.
Thanks for your suggestions, you are very kind.

I probably wasn’t clear enough, but it’s great to hear from you. More questions about the company you mentioned another time but here’s where I am coming from. It wasn’t that long ago when field cameras did not automatically have decks on the back of them. So I was thinking, would the KiPro be a re-entry to the 2 piece production system? We always worked that way in years gone by. Why do I need all the expense and technical complication of all that stuff on the back of the camera you don’t ….we don’t…need if we have the KiPro. And then, what camera?
Am I off in my thinking….?
Cheers, Peter
