Motu V4HD
by Marty Hankins on Aug 15, 2009 at 11:14:08 pm

I am currently working (on set) on a feature film doing video village/data wrangling with a RED camera and would like to incorporate the V4HD in the work flow but needed help with what will be the best codec setting to go with. I am taking the HD-SDI out of the RED (720/50) for on set/directors monitoring via a HD-SDI link. I would like to capture and then do replays in Final Cut. Also I need to be able to replay the RED files back in Final Cut for review purposes (1K RED files). Capturing has not been an issue but outputting has not been successful.... Only other note is I am using a Grass Valley Indigo switcher and Panasonic 1710 LCD HD Monitor. Any advice would be help full! Thanks!

Hi Marty,

I assume you are trying to display 1K proxy (size M for 4K and size H for 2K). In order to make the proxy playback on V4HD, you have to select the timeline's RT setting/playback video quality as "high" instead of any other choices. However, this does not assure you for V4HD to playback the R3D proxies well, so you might want to experiment well to use it for your job.

With my setup that I tested, it often stopped playing in the middle of playback. The timeline set to 1080p, the V4HD output to be set to 1080/23.976.

I have:
Mac Pro
x8 drive RAID5 with ARECA RAID HBA

I had better playback setting the timeline to 720p, then resize the clip to 720p from 1k proxies. Try this out.
