OOOOPS!
Sorry.
Never mind… I found it.
I guess it helps to read a little on such a big update.

“log and transfer”

[Pierre]

I didn’t realize you were in Chicago.
Love that town.

[Pierre]

Thanks Gary.
Yeah Plaster City is top notch.

I actually just found out moments ago that they’re going to be using some footage that I shot on the Viper Filmstream for a demonstration at HD-Expo in Chicago this weekend. Apparently it’s going to be projected with the new Sony 4K projector. Wish I could be there.

Anyway, Michael said the same thing you did. Maybe CC in HD-CAM SR but it may very difficult to tell the difference vs. cost of regular HD-CAM
I’m going to go down there a SEE the difference.

best,
Michael

One more thing.

What about the possibility of finishing on film?
Costs and Benefits? The piece would take on the characteristics of the film itself right?

I know it’s subjective but what would look the ‘best’?
Film or HD-CAM or native DVCPRO-HD

[Pierre]

ahhh yeah, that does make sense.
Is there a way to convert h264 to quicktime (after downloading) while still maintaining the quality so I can play it through Kona TV on my big monitor?

[Pierre]

Strange that AJA Kona TV will allow me to open up and play (for instance) a 720p trailer downloaded from the apple website (1280X544, H.264,AAC).

But won’t play that same piece simultaneously through HD-SDI to my big monitor.
(I just get green shaky bars and interference).

It’s almost like the right format under “display” isn’t there? But I’ve tried them all.

[Pierre]

wow. I love this application.
So the new Final Cut Pro Studio 2 supports H264 correct?

[Pierre]

I figured out what it is.
In the “Kona 3 Control Panel” under “Default Output” I had it on input passthrough.
I changed it back to “hold last application”.
It’s working again.
thanks

[Pierre]

I’m not sure the deck model.
But I know it’s DVC-PRO HD/Panasonic and has a firewire out.
I don’t need to capture “uncompressed” as my drives are only FW 800

[Pierre]

Love it!
