Hi guys,

Not an expert.. but I believe FAM i Link will not work with 422.. only XE..

Got the disks today and tested. Both camera and PDW F30 say: "not supported" so you are right Robin.
I was hoping that in FAM mode it just sees files and doesn't look at codecs...

The easiest way now is to rent a U1 or U2 drive.

sorry to hear that.. I meant EX of course !! I only know as I was advised not to bother down loading the FAM software for SXS cards.. for 422..

Thanks

Hi,

330/335/350/355 only read

- 35mbit 1440x1080 4:2:0 mxf
- 25mbit 1440x1080 4:2:0 mxf
- 18mbit 1440x1080 4:2:0 mxf

and

DV/DVCAM type SD mxf

For ingesting pdw700/800 50mbit 1920x1080 4:2:2 or IMX30/40/50 you definitely need either the cam (with SD Option for SD) or deck OR the PDW-U1 / U2 units.

If you regularly need access , I´d advise to buy a U1 - they are getting cheaper (U2 is faster) and read and write EVERYTHING coming from the disk camcorders.

Thanks Uli,

the rental U2 from Welkom - Europe Audio/Video Rent worked fine and was delivered the same day. (The material was recorded in an OB van)
Since i mostly edit my own material i'll stay with the cam as feeder and rent a U1/2 if needed.
