Re: ProRes via Convergent HD,and AJA, or Capturing HDV via Firewire

Hi,
Re: deck control:
I tried the Convergent HD -Connect SI HDV to HD/SDI Converter from an M10U via AJA iO, and it didn"t work.(It was way off, took lots of time queuing up and it got lost.) Bob Zellin sent me a post that said you couldn't convert the cheaper decks to an HVR-1500 by investing in a $795.00 converter.
However, I bought an HVR-1500A and it still gets lost and constantly tells me "can't find time code."
After a couple of months horsing around, I had to get a long form job done, so I'm doing everything in SD and going into the MacPro by firewire. This works.
I think there are big issues with the long GOP of HDV. and there may be issues with the FCP software.
For me, it was like brushing my teeth with a pitch fork. (Sorry about that, I couldn't resist.)

Michael G
