Well, there’s always a greater chance that one of four components is going to have a factory defect than one bnc cable (the numbers work against you), but the adapters are cheap and good to have a bunch handy anyway. It’s a matter of personal preference probably.

is a bnc male to rca female “barrel” is what a friend called them in slang. feel free to call them whatever you want.
SDI and HDSDI are types of connections that I can’t confirm will work with BNC to RCA adaptation. Never tried it. Only used this for bnc component to rca component adaptation.

You can get BNC to RCA barrels of any configuration, if you want to connect component BNC to component RCA, though I’m not sure you can connect HDSDI the same way, RCA might not work in that application.

That’s a great question, a computer monitor. My experience with the shots being soft has been on Final Cut Pro and Avid, whereas Premiere looks nice and sharp. Go figure. I loaded it into premiere and it looks fine.

1.) yes.
2.) the transfer rate should exceed the bitrate of the video, I would imagine. I don’t have an exact answer here.

I’m talking to some friends at Adobe today, I’ll bug them about the update release possible timing. If they can tell me, I’ll share. There is a pre-release program, you can apply for, which will grant you access to the pre-release buggy versions of the software for beta testing.
It won’t impress you with it’s stability, but you would be able to see what they are fixing, etc. Also, there’s an NDA 🙂 Besides, Blackmagic won’t release their drivers to you even if you are on the pre-release, I tried 🙂

Depends on what you want to achieve, but this sounds similar to what we did at GameSpot.com with on the spot.
http://www.gamespot.com/onthespot – they are changing the format this year, check the archive.
The studio is set up like multicamera broadcast studio, with the HD feed going into an encoder. The encoder then sends to the distribution point, which is the web page. The player then streams to the recipient. The distribution point is the website, as before explained, on a content distribution network.
If you search for adobe media encoder, you’ll find more info. They even have a hosting service you can rent.
Feel free to ask me questions. I produced this show for about a year.

From my experience in both FCP and PPRo, I’d say that the stability issue is a hit or miss kind of thing. One XP build can be substantially different from another and the big stability questions arise on a PC.
On a Mac, I found FCP and PPro to be pretty much the same stability wise.
I find PPro to be much faster and some of the edting workflow more intuitive and less obstructive. For instance, when hotkeying an overwrite from the source monitor, it adds the in to out footage to the timeline starting at the playhead (or into the in and out on the timeline) the window focus doesn’t leave the source monitor, so i can keep on going to the next bit I want to put on the timeline. FCP bumps you out of the source monitor, focusing on the timeline.
Little things like that.
As for memory, 8GB is great, I get by on two and even do some 10 bit 1080P though the cpu is plenty fast. More is better, however. Dynamic link is SUPER slow.
Remember that Dynamic Link opens multiple instances of AE processes for each clip with the link applied. Adobe still hasn’t made it very efficient, so here, memory helps tons.
