I'm not too impressed with the Avid / Ikegami stuff...
Client has a Ikegami GF cam (not the cheapest one), and i'm doing post on
the first HD stuff (100 Mb),
Import sucks, 1 out of 10 clips fails. (all works swell on SD stuff
(nowadays...))
Had to reverse to open source (BBC) code to get the clips converted to
DNxHD, edit starts tomorrow....
(Oh, for code challenged mortal editors, this ain't an option for you, get
ready to pleasure your IT department in ways you never expected. If you
ain't got an IT department, you're fucked. If you do, you are DEEPLY fucked.
If you are me, you've fucked yourself by taking the job....)
So what exactly do you have to pay / who do you need to pleasure with
extended service to get an Academy 'honoration'?
Bouke (who knows that the GF pack stuff aint FCP compatible either, but
that's beside the point...)

Avid Honored Again by National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences with
Third Emmy Award in Less than One Year
Burlington, MA, 2011-01-06
Award marks 14th Emmy statuette for leading innovator
BURLINGTON, MA-January 6, 2011- Avid® (NASDAQ: AVID) today announced that it
will once again be honored for its innovative technology by the National
Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with an Emmy® award. The award is for
the "Development and Production of Portable Tapeless Acquisition," which the
company created in the mid 1990s with partner Ikegami to improve the way
production teams capture and edit video content in the field. The award,
which will be presented in a special ceremony in Las Vegas during the CES
Convention this week, marks the third Emmy award for Avid within the past 12
months.
"We're honored to recognize Avid's commitment to the broadcast market and
its role in advancing the state of the art of television production," said
Charles Jablonski, Chairman of the NATAS Technology Achievement Committee.
"By providing the industry with faster, reliable and cost-efficient ways to
get productions to air more quickly, Avid continues to drive innovation
throughout the industry and that is why we are recognizing them with this
Emmy award, tonight."
Avid will be honored with Ikegami for its joint role in developing the
Editcam system, which was the first solution to fully define and practically
implement the now commonly accepted functionality, feature set, advantages
and practices of file-based workflows in nonlinear field editing systems.
Many of Editcam's ground-breaking features and functions - nonlinear file
navigation, file and folder management/clip deletion, clip metadata tags,
conditional recording, time lapse recording, timeline editing in camera,
LAN/WAN connectivity - are integrated into a range of today's leading
cameras.
"Innovation is at the core of all we do and Avid is honored and privileged
to once again be recognized by the National Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences for our role in developing technology that enables our customers to
be more collaborative and productive," said Avid COO Kirk Arnold. "This
award is also a testament to how beneficial our partnerships with other
leading companies like Ikegami can be. We're focused on advancing innovation
across the media industry to provide our joint customers with the most
cost-effective and efficient workflows. Avid extends its congratulations to
everyone involved in developing and advancing this technology."
