HD250 and the Nano Flash

Chad Haufschild · August 17th, 2009, 03:08 PM

I'm looking at the Nano Flash as an acquisition system from the HD SDI off my HD250. I've cruised the Nano Flash forum with little luck finding good info about this combo.

My impression is, if I understand the technology correctly, that the 720 60p out of the HD SDI can be captured using the Nano to process the pulldown for 24p mfx files. I'd like to see the 24p footage to get an idea how good it looks compared to the standard HDV 24p footage the camera puts to tape. I'm sure the images will be of higher quality, but I'm worried about the pulldown process.

Anyone using this combo? Can you help a guy out and share your experiences and maybe post some comparison footage?

I'll also be converting the mfx files to Cineform intermediate for editing using ProspectHD. Any experience on this would be helpful as well.

Thanks.

So the Nano doesn't support pulldown yet. It's going to, but not yet.

I jumped the gun on tis question just a bit, so I'm starting a new thread with a different question concerning the HD SDI output specifically.

Thanks.

Not sure Chad, but could you shoot 720/60 to the Nano and do the 24P conversion in post? Doesn't Final Cut or Cinema Tools have this facility?

That's the direction I'm leaning. I use Cineform as my DI. I think it should be able to process the pulldown from 720p60. Thanks to Mr. Dashwood's answer from another post, 720p60 should give me the cleanest pulldown.

If anyone has some 720p60 captured from the HD SDI of the HD250 that I could play with, I'd be forever thankful. At this point I don't have the capability to capture HD SDI in my workflow.
