ProRes via Convergent HD,and AJA, or Capturing HDV via Firewire
by Mike Gilligan on Sep 12, 2008 at 1:49:58 am

I'm starting a new project and I have a Sony M10U going thru the Convergent HD Connect SI, into an AJA iO box, then into a 3.0Ghz Mac Pro 8-core with a 4 Tb Cal Digit raid array, and FCP Studio 2.
In order to get machine control and time code, I just today started using the Convergent HD Connect SI. It runs things,but it may take 2 minutes for it to cue up and start rolling when I'm capturing. Very disappointing.

How about an alternative? Capturing everything in HDV via firewire directly into the Mac and setting the effects rendering to Pro Res? Does anyone recommend the HDV approach as opposed to the iO box and ProRes with the Convergent HD Connect SI sloooow machine control?
At this point the HDV thing looks better and better. Am I wrong?
