Hi Dan or Mike:
I would like to know what is the time table for the enabling of the RS-422 interface on the Flash XDR, please ? I would like to be able to integrate the unit into my post workflow upon occassion as a VTR replacement for Batch Capture and Re-Capture. I would also like to have the flexibility to take my XDR to another post house and have them be able to control it from their switcher and HDCAM SR deck (Via Standard RS-422 Protocol signals of course). I am quite optimistic at the great potential of the XDR as a digital VTR solution in post as well as a great shooting deck.
EDIT: (More detailed workflow explanation): What I would like to be able to do is get an HDCAM SR dub from a TV Network VTR onto my XDR, then once that master is onto CF cards, I then could easily import it into Avid Media Composer and re-edit, then output back onto a CF card and bring the unit back to the station to playout to the HDCAM SR VTR via the HD-SDI output. Thus, the XDR becomes the bridge between file based and realtime capture based editing.
Respectfully,
Mark Job
