Re: Urgent Kona Workflow question...
by makkystyle on May 15, 2007 at 3:09:13 pm

Thanks Walter... here are my thoughts, let me know if I am off base anywhere:

DVCPRO720p23.98 is ~5.6MB/s while DVCPRO1080p23.98 is ~13.5MB/s. I have a 3TB RAID which formatted in L3 nets me about 2.3TB all in. I am estimating 35 hours of footage putting total storage needs around 1.71TB @ 1080 res. This doesn't leave me much room for onlining into Uncompressed 10bit 4:2:2 1080p 23.98 (I also, rightly or wrongly, am a little nervous that when the RAID is that full that my read/write data rates may slow enough making ucompressed work difficult...?) I was planning on onlining and printing to tape one reel at a time to save space. We will do color work somewhere else.

If I can capture at 720 the total storage space for 35 hours ends up somewhere around ~800GB, and since I will have to online to uncompressed anyway, why not save that space?

On my Blackmagic system now, 1080 capture, cutting and playback is working fine, but there is no real time preview of footage being captured, which is annoying because you are just sitting there in the dark not knowing what is happening.

Finally is it only the Kona 3 card that can do real time cross-convert to 720 or will the LH/LHe card do this also? (I didn't mention a specific card because I'm trying to figure out which will work... if I should switch at all... I'm worried about getting it all dialed in in the next day, I haven't started capturing yet but will have to tomorrow).

Many thanks for your help and guidance!!!!
