Re: [Avid-L2] NYC equivalent of Digital Service Station? Output file to tape?

a left field thought in case this is easier or cheaper.

I assume they have the means to control an RS 422 device. Therefore if you arrive with a file that looks like an RS422 device using something like Gallery VVTR or similar then they could play that. http://www.virtualvtr.com/ All you would need is a Mac Mini and one of these http://www.colinbroad.com/cbsoft/usb422/usb422.html

Hi:

I'm in the middle of restoring a film that suddenly has to show at MoMA a week from today. MoMA does not show files — they show DCPs or tapes. They say they show HD-CAM (and I am going to assume that they include SR in that because HD-CAM sucks!).

Since it won't quite be finished at that point, the filmmaker has decided that tape makes more sense — also, they can use these tapes when they license clips — so, here's my question:

Who in NYC can do a 90-minute output to HD-CAM from a ProRes HQ file, quickly and at a reasonable price? Anyone in Birmingham, AL (I'm near Montgomery)?

All suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff
