Capturing HDV through the IO-HD doesn't have any advantage over working with HDV natively in FCP using the Apple HDV codec. Image manipulations in FCP are done in 32-bit floating point, and it's been that way since FCP 4. In other words, FCP already has your back with respect to image degradation.and the IO-HD supports format conversion as well, so you can ingest at 1080i60, and output at 720p without blinking an eye. if you have an HDV camera, this would be great, because you can ingest at ProRes 422, then do your editing, because HDV is a very lossy format and is horrible for many image manipulations.
No, but if you plan to output to HDCAM or some other HD tape format, the IO-HD would be necessary.I'm sorry for the stupid question, but do you need the IO box to use the new codec?
No, it looks similar to Shake though.http://www.apple.com/finalcutserver/
Watch the video.
Is the UI a hint of what's coming up in Leopard?
Black with blue.
When I use FCP I'm looking at my content. The UI isn't in my way at all. At most maybe they could do away with the brushed metal.Hey why wasn't there a GUI change? Will that come with Leopard? I mean, the main gray window didn't seem to change. I'm not a FC user by any means, but it seems ugly in my limited screenshot world.
You can store a lot of full HD on your MacBook Pro. It would be over-the-air or possibly HDV.But, but, but......this is video. I can't store a lot of full HD on my Macbook Pro. This is for Mac Pro, XSAN market.
Well, you already could before. What this is about is the ability to cut 4:2:2 HD at (uncompressed) SD data rates, which at 220mbps and 145mbps is still many times the data rate of DV and HDV.One of the primary parts of the presentation is that now you can. Your post reads like you didn't pay attention to that part. It's near the beginning and it specifically refers to MBP as the way to edit HD in SD Size Files. New external compression hardware for MBP only $3500.![]()

That's not a pan. It's a trucking shot. Some of us, including me, could use a refresher course once in a while.All those incredible editing apps and all they can come out with as an ad for appleTV is some rubbish pan across three rooms...
Why would AJA (which rhymes with Asia) start pronouncing a product with "IO" in its name any differently than they had before? I guess that statement stems from being unfamiliar with AJA and / or its other products.I'm disappointed that they are pronouncing it "Eye-Oh-Ach-Dee" instead of "Eye - Odd".
1. Uncompressed HD is only needed for high-end effects shots, and not an entire production. Unless of course you're making the next Sin City or 300, in which case just about the whole production is an effects shot.But untill now I am not able to edit uncompressed HD on a Macbook Pro, and I will not be till July. And even then, I don't see myself, even with the IO-HD, doing a full production on the Macbook Pro. The unit is really meant to edit HD on location not doing a full production.
2. If you listen to what's being said in those videos on the Apple site, you'd notice that ProRes422 and the IO-HD is indeed meant for entire productions.
3x less transcoding time?Suddenly that extra $1500 for the 8 core looks worth it. 100% utilization of compressor on all 8 core resulting in 3X rendering time.
Yeah, so much for all the Blu-ray fanboys here who insisted that Apple's membership on the board of directors of the Blu-ray Disc Association would definitely mean something as of NAB 2007.Did anyone else notice DVD Studio Pro didn't recieve an upgrade.
I was hoping for blu-ray support
I myself had speculated that BD authoring would come but I was mistaken.
As a practical matter, Apple is more behind HD DVD than BD, as HD DVD authoring on red-laser DVDRs has been with us for two years now.
Anyone who is really itching to author Blu-ray movie discs should take a serious look at Sonic Scenarist and the system it requires.
There are excuses out there about why Apple hasn't yet included BD in DVDSP. However, those haven't stopped Sonic.
Obviously changes or amendments to a spec (for example, BD Java) can be added in subsequent software updates. That's how Apple handled the adoption of 802.11b, g and n.
I hope Apple adds BD authoring soon, but in the meantime I'm happy making HD DVDRs of short duration projects.
I agree with Rocketman and Mr B.I also agree that I think DVDSP is going to get a free upgrade sometime later , so don't think we should be freaking out over that yet.
