Gary-

Thanks for the reply. The EVS is the device that I am talking about. There are two ways to gather material into FCP. The “easy” way is to play a clip on the EVS and just do a capture now. That is what my partner is now doing, using what he describes as either the “Kona” or “AJA” codec. Does the Kona card install additional codecs in FCP?

The alternate is to use the EVS hardware to transcode it’s material to DVCPro clips, then network the clips to the FCP system. I would like to experiment with this workflow. The problem here is the DVCPro material is pretty heavily compressed. That is fine for stuff comming from the EVS, but a little harsh for our other (graphic) elements.

In any event, I am curious to find information on the data rates and compression type of the Codec my partner is discussing.
