    Hey, Would anyone know whether the new 23" Apple HD Cinema Displays can display the 1080p from the HVX200 in at true 24fps or does the monitor have to display the footage with a 3:2 pulldown added. I now the previous generation Apple displays had to have the pulldown added, but can the new...

    Upgrade to a Raptor HD?

    Hey all, I am looking to maximize the performance of my Dual 2.5 G5 Edit System, especially since I will be upgrading to HD once the HVX200 arrives. Would an upgrade to a WD Raptor Drive as my boot drive bring me a significant enough increase in speed to warrant it's purchase. Will it do...

    Hey, Quick Question? In DVCProHD, the pixel aspect is square. So the 1.77 widescreen is equivalent to 16x9. What would 2.35 be equivalent to? 16x__ ? Thanks in advance, for some strange reason, I'm having a problem trying to calculate it.

    LCD Monitor for HDLink viewing

    Hey all, As I save up for a transition to HD once the HVX200 comes out, I believe I will go the route of using the Decklink HD card and HDLink for viewing purposes in editing. What are your thoughts on LCD monitor choice for this method. Blackmagic says they reccomend the Apple 23" HD Cinema...

    Nattress Film Filter for simulating DVX cinegamma curve on XL2 Footage

    Hey, Recently picking up a DVX, I have forgotten how great its cinegamma settings are. I own the XL2 and although I like the XL2 image clarity overall better, the DVX's cinegamma setting is just unbelieveable. I tried to match it with the XL2 but just can't seem to get it. Which leaves me to...

    Film format frame lines

    Hi guys, Jan, if you're looking (and I'm sure you are :-P ), I would like to have some sort of guidelines within the LCD for film framing, if one is to shoot with the intention for film out.
