capturing HDCAM SR in FCPPosted by Phil UK
Phil you mentioned a Kona II card. That card is usually used in systems that predate the power needed to deal with prores (G5 Quad is the usual minimum.)
What are the specs of the signal that you want to get off the tape. SR machines can output 1080 and 720 at several frame rates. Also as Jeff mentioned, it is possible to record and playback 4:4:4 signals which require 2 cables from the machine outs to the Kona In (called duel link). Basically you just need to match your Kona record setups to the signal you are capturing. -Vance
Yeah, there is no "native HDCAM" codec. Uncompressed 10-bit if you have the Kona 2 and a G5.

Erm. Yes. It's HDCAM SR. It's expensive. Did you think that top-of-the-line gear was going to be cheap and easy somehow? I know you always complain about the costs in London, but this stuff is expensive EVERYwhere. It's TV, mate. Again, if it was cheap and easy, everyone would be doing it.
Well, it is cheap to get the software, so people think everything else is cheap..and easy.
