I think at this stage it might be time to tell them about the F65. They
can record to SR codec on the SxS cards and Sony can clone that data
straight onto HDCAM tape without generation loss.
That way you can avoid the file based headache and batch in off tape and
they get to dick around with an 8K sensor on set (with a mechanical
shutter)
Everyone is happy ;-)

Subject: [Avid-L2] Red Camera workflow for mulitcam Stage shoot
Revisited how far do I bend over?
Some may recall my Red workflow quadries a while back for a multicamera
stage shoot. I realize it isn't really the right tool for the job but I
have to accommodate this production decision. After testing etc... with
Red One footage the ama workflow seems the best for us. Today they said
they are now shooting with the Epic. Just how far do I have to bend
over? IIRC Epic footage will only work with Avid V6 as the ama Red
plugin for 5.5 doesn't handle Epic footage. We are being told that the
Red One cameras with the MX chip do not support the external Raw Data
recorder, this sounds completely wrong to me as I can see all kinds of
external packs for Red Ones on the Red site. Is this true about
external recorders? We will have to shoot around 90 minutes straight
without stopping hence the external recorders. We already tested a
workable Red One workflow and now they think Epic is the way to go.
I've mostly heard of a lot of headaches from
Epic at this stage. I've also been told with the Red One it would be
nice to shoot double HD Frame size of 3840x2160 instead of 4K to
eliminate the need to crop the frame. We are delivering HDCam or
HDCamSR so it will ultimately be HD. Would the 3840x2160 setting be
available on Epic. This will be a multicam edit offline which we will
ama link and transcode to SD for offline. Shooting 29.97P I guess.
Someone please help me convince these people I don't need an Epic enema
the Red One will be enough of a pain in the arse. ;-) TIA
