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

 

How long is the show, Jeff? DCP is not too hard.

Guys, thanks for the clever workarounds, but, sadly, this is a big museum — they don't want or need someone showing up with any devices.  They show several films every day.  And they are in NYC, while I am in Alabama — so what won't go wrong!?

Tim Sassoon suggested the BMD Shuttle, which I didn't know had been upgraded to do ProRes — that seems to be the smallest, cheapest, and simplest way to go, but that too isn't likely to fly — they want a tape or a DCP!

Many have pointed out it's likely that they don't play SR — most booths use the cheaper decks.

We'll see how it goes…  and thanks for all the tips — greatly appreciated.

Jeff

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
