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

 

Don't get me wrong I love videotape just surprised I guess that dual tapes are still a thing. Maybe super black could make a comeback!

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.
