Re: [Avid-L2] Cinedeck workflows & Wiredrive at the next Editors' Lounge

most of my (admittedly limited) knowledge was with a customer who tested them for capturing live feeds from a live event. They crashed a lot, I was told, and we eventually used R&S DVS Venices to do what they needed.

I used Cinedeck MX recorders (for the first time) shooting a live multi-camera event last November, for a 3 hour prime-time ballroom dancing show for PBS, airing in April.  I loved the Cinedecks, which performed flawlessly, and which were the starting point for the most streamlined post workflow I've ever seen.

I had zero problems with the Cinedecks, so I'm curious to hear why you express reservations - have they let you down on a job, or have you avoided them because they lack some feature you need?

Here are a few of the reasons for my praise of the Cinedecks:

* They easily record multiple simultaneous streams onto cheap industry-standard hard drive arrays - no need for expensive proprietary drives with limited capacity.

* They run all evening - I recorded 5 iso'd cameras plus a switched line feed, on multiple nights of performances, for 5 hours straight without a pause.  And it sure does simplify media management when your camera originals are 300 minutes long!

* They record DNxHD MXF OP-Atom files.  Avid can directly see and edit the camera original files without importing, transcoding, consolidating or AMA'ing.  It's "real" Avid media.
