I'm working on an upcoming Red One production. We'll also be using a Panasonic HVX200 for documentary photography. I'm the project's assistant editor and my job during actual production is to log and capture footage with my MacBook Pro, connected to external eSATA RAID enclosures. At the end of the day, I'll be assembling dailies for the production team.
My question is if anyone knows of a FireWire 800 adapter that will read both P2 and CF cards. Lexar seems to make an adapter that supports CF UDMA, but doesn't mention whether or not it would work with other solid state media like P2 cards.
Normally, I would be using Duel's ExpressCard/34 adapter for this, but I'll need that slot to connect to the RAID disks.
In a worst-case scenario, I could use our P2 Store as the P2 card reader (which is USB-based....puke!), but I would like to avoid this, as we're on a tight production schedule/budget and can use the additional speed gained by a faster reader.
Having a Mac Pro on location isn't really an option because of space and the lack of portability.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
