[Richard Crowley] “But still not quite there when you can buy a whole case of tapes for the price of one hard drive that won’t even hold 60 minutes.”
120GB SSD drives at my computer sales outlet (nearly wholesale) are about $100. MUCH more for 240GB and larger. That allows 1 hour of ProRes or DNxHD recording on my HDStudios.
A case (of ten I assume) of any tape that records anything higher than 25mbps (ie. something better than HDV so DVCProHD or HDCAM/HDCAM SR) would be SIGNIFICANTLY higher than $100…

Richard: I talked with Joshua Helling at NAB at length about several things, not the least of which was implementing multiple data rates of ProRes on the HDStudio and he told me specifically that the licensing fee for each of the bitrates was “significant”. So, I’m ASSUMING more than just a couple of dollars per unit.

Oh and regarding using firewire as an input:
Firewire output on cameras is limited to 25mbps (the DV/hdv standard) so it is already heavily compressed, so much so that 1080I requires anamorphic pixels (1440 x 1080) to stay within bandwidth.
Not uncompressed like HD-sdi and hdmi.
Wrong solution.
The ONLY other viable input would be analog component, which is available on the Studio Pro HyperDeck.

Having talked to some BMD folks at NAB, remember that licensing EACH CODEC, SPECIFICALLY EACH BITRATE, requires an additional fee to be paid which is then passed on to the consumer. I would love to see more bit rate options in ProRes personally on my 4 Hyperdeck Studios but the cost increase to do so might be a factor for me.
A $345 portable recorder capable of hdmi and HD-sdi input as well as real time cross conversion from/to hdmi and HD-sdi… Unfathomable!
Thrilled with my 4 HDStudios. Just need SSD prices to drop on the larger capacity drives AND a Thunderbolt external SATA dock to back these suckers up quickly…

Slightly off topic but as I’m looking to ADD timecode to my system, what generator are you using?

IPhone headsets…
THOSE will be AWESOME for camera operators in a room any louder than a church sanctuary… (Snarky Shaun joins in)
I have used FRS radios as a low cost solution for live event coverage for years when the budget wouldn’t support real comms. And guess what? Every time I do I swear “never again”! Not because of the radio transmission but because the headsets are AWFUL in terms of either amplitude or noise insulation so my camera guys actually have a hot clue what I’m asking for…
Wired comms with one ear headsets for my ENG style camera ops, option of one or two for my studio kit equipped ops and either for me, depending on whether I need to work with anyone in the room not on comms.

Thank you!
We live video folk have been left behind in recent history in terms of real time video STREAM processing at very reasonable prices. THRILLED to see the Teranex box in my road case… Fall, I hope…

Up and running by brute force and ignorance setting up a static IP on the computer.
Good thing I Web cast and guess well…
Thanks for the help, though…

Nothing else installed but the ATEM switchers bundle. Manually deleted all other BMD apps as windows 7 doesn’t allow individual program uninstall… Gah!
Still nothing working.
The devices are hooked up directly and not through a switch. Automatically assign IP on the computer on IPv4.
This shouldn’t be this difficult…

Thanks Mike. Was doing that, tried again this morning and the ATEM isn’t seeing the laptop or vice versa
