HD and the iPod
 

Blackmagic Design hit upon a new idea for testing DVCPRO HD and its DeckLink cards—Apple's iPOD. Using 9GBs of leftover space, the little drive that could played back HD footage for 24 hours without dropping a frame.

sound interesting but i think a discussion liek this was bought up before..

it doesnt seem that these microdrives or mass GB solid state cards have the bandwidth throughput for DV let alone DVCProhd50

good concept though and the only way i see this ever eventuating, is if at least a gb of storage is allocated as a buffer.. then maybe it would be able to do this..

Ehm, Peter? Didn't the article just state they did a succesful test
of playing back an HD stream from the iPod?

I still do not understand how they did it. Where are the details?
