Re: [Avid-L2] Re: OT: Do I finally get to blame it on transmission?

 

Tape is still the most common way to transport material in and out of trucks for sports. EVS systems can (if the truck owner has paid the big bucks) use a number of codecs, but getting material for a Fox show that uses one codec from a show on a truck that didn't have that codec - the only way to do that is to capture from tape. It happens every day all over the country, and won't stop anytime soon. Yes, many shows use X-file transfer of highlights and elements, and that's expanding, but I haven't worked a show yet that didn't have stuff coming in from tape.

I used to synch roll 6 cams of ISO records on cmx340-x but I thing the bigger point here is how rare it is to see a truck with more than 2 hdcam-srs these days. Certainly not two assigned to digitizing.

File based material with >rgb is the future and I'm stunned how much tape deliverables are still requested in long form as a mostly commercials guy I haven't used a tape in 5 years or more.
