We tested in ProRess HQ. The specs of our existing MacPro are not relevant because we’re willing to invest in a hole new setup that meets our demands.

Is it fair to demand for the same realtime speed in HD on FCP as in SD on our 844/X system?

To repeat my first question: what is the fastest configuration and best codec for the job?

Acquisition is on XDCam HD 35 Mb/s. We’re doing a lot of short form (commercials), many layers,
masks, grafics and color correction.

As a usp we want to produce the hole flow in HD and decide in the end how to deliver. SD for broadcast, HD for client copies and internet.

Thank You Michael,

We’ve downloaded the latest version (1.8), but these codecs give the same error as version 1.0 we were using.

This is what we want to do:

In QT Pro we want to export to the avid DV25 PAL 420 codec so that our client (a broadcaster with an Avid play-out system) can use the file inmediately without recompressing.

The codec is only viewable with QT running under rosetta. When exporting it gives this error:

qtKitErrorCatchAll (-50)

Any suggestions?

Kind regards,

Robin

Shame on me, didn’t see this menu item (movie => capture) yet. Works fine. Thanks for the help.

Hi Olivier Jean,

Media 100 844/X is installed on the playing set. We want to record edited material from this set, via the decklink SDI in, to the Mac Pro. On this Mac we do DVD authoring etc. I guess recording in the same (844/X) codec to Mac Pro gives the best result. But not all the codecs are Universal Binary. And there is something more, the Decklink VTR software is not able to record free running from an other edit system. It can only take a clip from a VTR. Any suggestions? What’s the best working codec on the Mac Pro and how to record a videostream without the use of an editing program?

Regards,
