XDCam HD plug in
 

I really don't care if it is a Aspect Module or Prospect addtion. I just wish that Cineform would support the FAM Workflow for the XDCAM HD 350. I know that I can still capture the video through the AJA card and all that good stuff. I also know someday it will happen that the FAM workflow is going to be the standard, but I hope and wish that I can stay with the Adobe workflow and not have to switch Apple. Which I believe a few people on this forum had to do because no one on the PC side sees this camera as a real contender in Video Production. I guess Mainconceipt but so far I hear it really is not worth installing. That is why I wish Cineform would implement the FAM workflow for the XDCAM 350. They have a solid rep and you know that their products will work that is why I would like to see them do this for all who use the XDCAM 330/350. I guess I could look at the AXIO. Axio is actually a grand more then Prospect. They do support FAM but only for import.

Help with HDLink Export to XDCAM
 

HELP!

I'm trying to use HDLink to Export a M2T file via firewire into an XDCAM HD Deck with MPRG TS Card option and HDLink is not cooperating.

The Deck and the card work as I can take my Z1U and transfer stuff in and out of the PDW-F70. It's only HDLink that insists on rolling the F70 on record then goes into a tizzy when it can't talk to it.

I don't want HDLink to record the F70.... I just want it to stream bits out. How can I disable transport control, or does anyone have a better way to do this?

thanks!

Prospect 3.xx and XDCAM HD
 

I just installed the latest Prospect update that supports XDCAM HD. What is the ingest procedure? I can't find anything on the site when I search for XDCAM or XDCAM HD.

Thanks.

Tip

Mount you XDCAM media/camera and convert the MXF files, either directly by specifying the output path, or copy the MXF data to your local drives first.

Doesn´t work
 

Hi David,
Tried Aspect and Prospect in three diferent computers. Can´t put to work with files already in a folder, in the computer.
Any clues?
Didn´t tried straight from the camera.

Send the some sample files to support, or provide a download link here.

files
 

Hi David,
Can you send me your private email? So I can send you a ftp address to download three files that I just uploaded, so you can test.
And I can send you the messages that I received.
Thanks,

I was able to convert your clips. However I did find an issue with the clips with only 2 channel audio, all our samples have 4 channels. So Banrisul0004.MXF converted fine, yet Ipanema0046.MXF & CapsulaZH-090.MXF required a small patch HDLink that will get into the current build. I'll send you the patch.

Patch
 

Hi David,
Do you know when you gonna send the patch?
I can´t convert any of the three files.
Thanks.

No need, all the new builds are up and they work fine with XDCAM-HD MXF clips, give it a try.

Hi David,
Just downloaded and tried Aspect and Prospect.
Neither worked. HDLink that comes with Aspect shutdown when I try to convert from MXF to AVI.
HDLink that comes with Prospect returns this message: Format not avaiable (P2 viewer missing).
But I´m trying to convert a XDCam HD file, not P2.
The version is 3.0.5 Build 135. There is no capture card installed in the computer.
I tried two different computers, with a up to date SP 2 installation.
Since I´m in Brazil, the XP comes in Portuguese. Don´t know if this can be a problem.
I read in other posts that some guys installed and are working with the files.
Do you think this can be a instalation problem?

It seems the HDlink can find the MXF libraries on your PCs.
Attached is .reg file, download, unzip and edit it: modify this line to much the path on your PC.
"DataDir"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\CineForm\\Data"

Then double click on the .reg file to update this entry. I'm guessing that the "C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\CineForm\\Data" path doesn't exist on a Portuguese XP install.

If this works, will will have a official fix in the next build.
