RE: [Avid-L2] Workflow Question

Get yourself an HDCAM deck or an SR with the digibeta board installed. Work in an HD project and have the deck upconvert your archive material. They do quite a good job. Final playout to an HDCAM for archive and use the downconvert on the deck to loop to a digibeta for deliverables. Job's a goodun' as they say!

Subject: [Avid-L2] Workflow Question

I monitor these forums all the time but this is the first time I've posted a question.

I have a job coming up which I just can't figure out the best workflow for.

It is 50% archive (Digibeta, Beta SP, downloads from web, DVD) and 50% interviews (shot on a mixture of XDCAM 35 & XDCAM 50 and Canon 7D).

The final programme is to be delivered SD. At the moment our systems are running Media Composer 3.1.3.

As there is so much archive we are planning on skipping the conform process and bringing any SD material in at 2:1 and not going back to the original material. But I don't know what to do with the HD material. Down-converting using Avid's transcode is not acceptable.

Any ideas? Things to look out for?

Cheers - Gary.
