This IS the Avid L2: [Avid-L2] Re: file based QC

Where would I most likely run into XDCam 50 Mbits at 60Fps? Is that akin to 720P 60. Is that common for broadcasr?

Cerify and other file based apps can be used but I haven't been able to spot level issues with the accuracy I can through the traditional HDSDI analysis. The apps do look for data and format errors unique to files so they are valuable too but when it comes to levels of video I prefer to rely on the scope. Usually I've found a sequence that is in spec out of the Avid rarely has level issues introduced when exporting the file as long as I export a QT ref our of Avid and Use QT Pro to make Prores delivery files. Of course with the myriad of possible file creation workflows a pandora's box of problems can arise which is why I still like to link back ama to the file and play it down through Avid to check the actual essence of the file. It has been my experience and understanding that an ama link bypasses the QT engine now and I hope other aspects of file processing to avoid being fooled by an misinterpreted file level. The classic confusion of RGB vs. 601/709 seems to be the most common mismatch. With ama I get to see the actual essence levels as I understand it. HTH
