January 31, 2011 at 7:13 pm in reply to: CatDV and BRU PE ?

We are a small production facility… 2 FCP edit stations. We are looking to make the jump to solid state media. Either P2 or AJA KiPro MINI . Either way we will need to archive our footage.
It seems LTO5 would be the best for us.
We are looking a SAN with a MacPro workstation attached.
at first I was thinking of just using the BRU PE and an LTO5 drive to use for simple archiving. Then I thought …Hmmm this CatDV cataloging would be GREAT!
But if it is going to cost me another $15K (approx) for the CatDV software PLUS a CACHE-A archive appliance then I am not sure that I need cataloging that bad.
I am sure that it is wonderful, but may not be practical for my work and budget.

If we label and keep an Excel spreadsheet with library numbers for the tapes and keep track of what project is on what tape. That may be good enough. If CatDV did Archiving too or if BRU PE did cataloging Like CatDV those options might have worked.

I am NOT IN ANY WAY complaining about anyone’s product. I am sure they are all wonderful and do exactly what they are designed to do. It is just that my budget isn’t there.

Thanks for all the input!

October 19, 2010 at 9:31 pm in reply to: KiPro MINI power options mounted to HPX 170?

am looking at the possibility of using the new AJA KiPro MINI with the HPX 170 but it requires 12v not 7.2v that the 170 uses. Is there an adapter that would allow me to mount a brick battery or a DIONIC 90 battery to the 170 and have an auxillary XLR 4pin power out to power the KiPro MINI as well? I want this as compact as possible to use the 170 hand held too.

Yeah, but the UDMA 6 600x card can only move 90MBps. Isn’t that right? Or am I misunderstanding something?

September 29, 2009 at 8:24 pm in reply to: Why don’t Anamorphic templates translate correctly into FCP?

I was hoping I was doing something wrong…. So your telling me that there is no way that an anamorphic template will just automatically be correct when editing directly into an anamorphic sequence?
Does anyone know if this fixed in FCP 7 or in Motion 4? or do we still have to do the workaround?
