1920 x 1080 HD Codec - 176mbs @ 10 bit - Price Dropping!
Go with me on this people - these new flash recording boxes are great - record 10 bit - nice mobile form factor - flash memory falling.
BUT! What about a proven workflow that 90% of broadcasters use right now for HD and a codec @ 176 mbs for 24p or 220 mbs for 60i? Yep, I'm talking about Avid DNxHD. For under 10K you could get an older adrenaline system with a DNxHD board, bring this on the set of your feature, and with say a 300 ft BNC cable (max length HD-SDI), have a decent amount of flexibility while recording 10 bit quality equivalent to HD-CAM. It's a memory hungry codec, it will require an array, but I'm surprised nobody has thought of this or done this yet? Or have they? Check Ebay - I'm not kidding. BTW- DNxHD blows Pro-Res out of the water. I'm not trying to pitch Avid (I love FCP) but don't overlook this if mobility isn't king. Hope this helps, -C |
So what are you saying? You're selling your Adrenaline and switching to ProRes? ;-)
With all the add-ons needed I'd say you're better off with a Wafian for field recording. George/ |
