I think it would be better to let the camera upconvert it than the edit system. Unless you could use a Kona 3 or a Teranex to do the upconversion.

I couldn’t help but add this:

Check out “Cortez and Tortillas”
While I would go with After Effects all the way for this, I’ll let Walter say how he approached it.

It’s hard to say until you’ve been able to talk with the people who are using the camera. I would call around to places that have experience with both to see. You could also try calling Panasonic and seeing if you can talk with the product manager to see if you can get some more insights.
Hopefully there is someone here reading this that can give more insight too.
For HD projection, the only things better than Blu-ray are playing right off of a edit system out to the projector or compressing it for a digital cinema server (JPEG2000).

While I have not been able to compare footage from the cameras side by side, the HPX3000 is a true 1080P camera. While the HPX2000 can record in 1080P, it is deriving the information from smaller than 1080P CCDs.
Also, while the HPX3000 comes standard with AVCIntra support, you have to add it to the HPX2000.
What type of projector and playback system will be in the theater? If they’re using SD DVD for playback, then it’s not going to matter which camera you used. Do they have a digital cinema projector with a digital cinema server? Is the projector HD? Will they use blu-ray for playback?

[Richard Boghosian] “So what about the REAL need in FCP: a Hardware based, REAL time effects/rendering engine.”
What are you talking about? The real need for FCP is hardware acceleration?
[Richard Boghosian] “Anyone remember AfterEffects on ICE?”
I remember that. That was really cool for a while, until computers became so much faster than the board that it didn’t make sense.
If you’re looking for hardware acceleration, then you’re going to have to spend some money for an Autodesk, Quantel, AVID, etc system. As nice as hardware acceleration would be, it’s not for FCP. It just doesn’t make sense for it’s users or Apple for a number of different reasons.
I realize I might sound harsh, but I disagree with you on this.

If it does export the timecode, it will have something to do with AJA control panel timecode section. My gut feeling is that it doesn’t right now. You might have to have a IOHD with timecode out for it to work.
I suggest you give AJA support a call. They could answer your question.

Have you turned on timecode in the AJA control panel?

It seems like there was a way to do it. Did you try dropping the color correction filter onto the clip in the viewer instead of the timeline? Check the manual and see what you can find. Then let us know what you find:)

I wouldn’t touch it. It’s not worth messing with when you could just sell a tower on ebay and then buy a new one with Applecare!
