Re: HDX900 and firewire

While I would never use a Firestore without also rolling tape
simultaneously, the advantages of the FS-100 for ease of capture and the ability to shoot Native are compelling to me.

When shooting 720/24P Native, the bit rate is only about 40Mbps, which yields a record time on a 160Gb Firestore of around 6.5 hours. It also means less hard drive storage space in post, faster ingest, and less rendering time. The workflow is actually less demanding than DVCPRO 50. The other advantage is recording at 40Mbps vs. 100Mbps means the Firestore isn't leaning on error correction as heavily, which should make for more reliable recordings.

Right angle Firewire cables are a bit more secure, but have to
be watched carefully. I have also had issues with vibration causing some dropouts. Rolling tape as a backup is essential.
