Re: Sony HD Cam to Dvcpro HD

[Peter McAuley] "Gary if we can not transcode how can I do this through the Kona 2 to dv 50 24p. It only uses firewire."

The Kona 2 will not cross convert between 1080 and 720- this is a known.
IT is not an issue with conversion to other fame sizes only these 2 HD formats.

- HOWEVER it will convert from either 1080 or 720 to NTSC On the fly - you have the ability over HDSDI to capture the 1080psf datastream and directly convert that content to DV50 on the Fly with the K2 using the HDSDI source ( you can also do this from Dual Link)

I do not understand where the FW comes in Peter? this is totally a function of your Kona 2 reading an HDSDI stream and converting your HD footage via hardware to a DV50 stream so that you will be able to edit offline and does not have anything to do with anything FW.
