[Avid-L2] HDCAM F-500 throughput level changes

 

We have a client who is using our Sony HDCAM F-500 deck. The client states that when inputing bars, the deck changes the video levels on throughput (e to e). 100 IRE jumps to 107 IRE and Black level drops. Also the decks input check button shows input bars are correct. And the client states that one of his known HDCAM masters plays back fine.

Any ideas of what might be going wrong here? I have never had this happen before. Is this deck broken or is there some internal setting that may cause this issue?

[Avid-L2] JVC Pro Verite monitor for colour grading

 

I wonder if anyone has used this monitor or has an opinion about how
suitable it would be for simple 'one-light' colour grading of an HD
show. Dates from 2008, specs sound pretty good to me...

The full monitor model number is JVCPro DT-V24L3DU.

Most likely would be feeding the monitor HDMI from a 1080p/23.976
project in MC 5.0.3.5 via an MXO2 Mini box.

Thanks,
--Michael

The hardware in Nitris DX is decoding the DNxHD codec. Also AVC-Intra with the new module. Also thin raster 1440 and 960 is scaled by the hardware to 1920 and 1280 respectively. I presume it also adds pulldown for 23.98 to 29.97 conversions.

The Io Express (and also the other cards) does none of this (except maybe the pulldown cadence). This means the CPU has to do the work in order to present the Io Express with full raster, uncompressed SD or HD video.

Depending on the horsepower of your machine, this will be the difference of several layers of real-time playback. It varies with format and effects used. On a fast machine, maybe 4 or 5 layers on the Io Express and 7+ on the Nitris DX (assuming all DNxHD) - but I'm just making a guess.

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: upgrade license issue from 5.0-5.5

 

The software was purchased with the Io Express box and we were given 5.0 which
should be a free upgrade. I guess I'll have to chat with Avid on Monday to find
out what I need to do to activate the upgrade.

Re: [Avid-L2] 5D/7D timecode import bug with AMA and QTChange combo

 

Perhaps i'm biased, but the 'change' settings are clear.
Most of them have nothing to do with FPS;
so having the time base in the menu seems a logical choice.
I could move it to the visual interface, but does that make sense?
(if a couple of you think so, i'll do it.)

AFAIK the DX only handles encode - decode of DNxHD. So there is no "speed boost" over I/O express. I reserve the right to be proven wrong.

1: I like separate boot drives as FCP allows you to upgrade your system more frequently without issues. If you have to wait on Avid to support new upgrades, you will wait a lot longer.

On the other hand, there may not be a lot of FCP upgrades in the traditional sense anymore. :-0

2: Can't vouch for I/O, but I have systems running Kona 3 and Nitris DX.

3: Just get the I/O Express and you don't need anything else. Both MC and FCP work with it.
