Re: Uncompressed vs. ProRes: Paging Bob Zelin

AVID introduced compressed HD codecs because the AVID Unity could not handle uncompressed HD. This is why DNxHD 145 and DNxHD220 were developed - and are still used EVERY DAY on NEW AVID PRODUCTS like the AVID Nitris DX and AVID Mojo DX. The DS is a DEAD PRODUCT that NO ONE uses - the popular AVID products are the AVID Adrenaline (which uses the DNxHD codecs) and the Nitris DX and Mojo DX, which use COMPRESSED HD CODECS.

So your Nitris DS buddy is a dinosaur, even in the AVID world - let me make this clear - a dinosaur even at BIG TV NETWORKS LIKE CBS NETWORK TELEVISION. I am sick of these idiots that say "my toys are so much better than your toys", when they are out of touch with the actual manufacturer (AVID in this case) that makes "their really cool toy". I still see idiots that think that the AVID Meridian systems are the best thing AVID ever made, and continue to use them.

But just to be fair to idiot FCP users, there are owners of AJA I/O's and MAC G5's that say "HD isn't all that it is cracked up to be, and the I/O is the best product AJA ever made".

And just for hi end refernce, the real "big boys" use products like DVS Clipster, and Quantel Pablo, not Nitris DS.

Dope !
