Dear XL-H1/G1 users-
We just released new firmware for the nanoFlash protable recorder/player which includes 24p pull-down removal. So, you can shoot in 24F mode and record in 1080p24 directly to the Compact Flash cards used in the nanoFlash.

Now you can get all the benefits of Tapeless Workflow with native 24p recording using visually lossless 100Mbps XDCAM 422 in a small, camera moutable recorder!

Check out our forum under "Tapeless Recording.." for comments from current customers.

Mike,
Your website states that the NanoFlash will record to Matrox codecs. Does that include the 24f Canon specific coded for the Axio Le?

Thanks, Barry

Hi Barry-
We have not spefically tested 24p. However, Matrox Axio works with all the other formats, such as 1080i and 720p, so I think there is a very good chance it will also work in 24p.

We have some 24p footage from the EX1 posted on our website, if you would liek to test. The 24p footage (actually 23.98p) from the Canon XL-H1 will be identical.

Mike,
Are you referring to the MXF files? I don't see any .avi files on your web site. Link?

Thanks, Barry

I'll be happy to post my results with the Axio Le

Yes Barry. MXF is the Sony XDCAM format that you'd need to test with your PC based NLE workflow.

I can't get the MXF file to import into my PremPro CS3. It says the format is not supported. Axio Le 3.6 utilities.

Haven't upgraded to CS4 yet.

Opps. Sorry Barry. Forgot that Axio uses Premiere as it's NLE.
From memory, Premiere currently only supports MXF files at the 35mbps. It may also support 50mbps files (not sure on that).

There is either currently an additional plug in or an upcoming plug in that will allow Premiere to support he higher data rates.

Maybe someone with more knowledge on the topic can chime in.

wow for the price of the nano I could by a new camera. It looks good but too expensive.

For the price of a Porsche you could buy 4 Kia's. But if you need to go racing on the weekend, you'd want the Porsche every time.

The Nanoflash is highly popular because it does for $3k, what people have been paying $15k for for the past few years. If a $k camera will get the job done for you, then the Nano is not required for your work. For those trying to submit their work to large HD broadcast channels, those looking to do film-outs, etc., the Nanoflash is an incredible bargain and Convergent Design is probably selling every one they make.
