[Nick Watts] “are you going to notice a major difference “
Simple answer – nope. You’d have to be a pretty high level video ninja to tell.

[Nick Watts] ” I’ve a set of digibeta tapes that need to end up on SD DVD. MPEG2 be so crap I’ve decided to get a J30 in and take in over firewire at DV res and then out put to MPEG2 via compressor.”
Sorry, what are you trying to do exactly? You say MPEG2 is crap, but you will need to use MPEG2 to create your dvd’s…

[gary adcock] “Anytime you are adding specific support for a platform or tool it is necessary to have it tested prior to delivery, that process is going on now.”
I’m not upset at Aja or anything – I just wish that they’d keep us more up-to-date with what’s going on. I don’t mind delays – I’d just appreciate being told that they’re going to happen. I shouldn’t have to look for this information on creativecow, it should be in the Aja news section or something.
The fact is, that as soon as they missed the ship date mentioned in the press release they should have put up something to let the customers know what’s going on. That’s just good manners! 🙂

Yeah, that’s what I figured. It would be nice for Aja to issue a revised timescale though. It makes the current press release seem a bit unprofessional…

[Rainer wirth] “because Digibeta and Beta SP are dead.”
SP, yes – but I think we’ll be seeing Digibeta for a few more years yet! Calling it dead is jumping the gun a little…

Thanks for the thoughts guys.
The M35 has HDSDI out but no RS-422 (seems like a stupid oversight I know…) So we can already get great images from the deck, just not device control.
As for moving the machines, we already have 25 meters of fiber, SDI, and RS-422 traveling down the hall, seems a shame to waste it…

[gunnar Kordestani] “(well how much PAL is there in a 16:9?) “
Loads – I’d say 16×9 FHA is the standard for shooting in Europe. Heck in the UK we’ve been 16×9 for years now…

I’ve just finished digitising 20 hours of Prores 1920×1080 50i, with the same setup and I too have had no problems. Looking good so far.
