AMR10 recorder

[rtmst3k]

Hi,

I was reading about a Panasonic AMR10 recorder/player soon to be released that would support HDMI and HD-SDI inputs. I'm assuming this would let me record directly off my HMC-150 HDMI port (skipping the AVCHD compression). Is this correct? If this is true, the image quality should be much better.

If I WAS able to do this and record this raw bitstream onto a hard drive (or 32GB SDHC card, which I think the AMR10 supports), How would I ingest this raw video data into Final Cut Pro 7?

Thanks!!
Randy

It looks like it accepts an hdmi connection.

But how would you skip the AVCHD compression? if the unit is recording also to AVCHD! am i missing something... If anything it would give you redundancy by creating a backup/double of whatever you shoot!

the only way you can bypass the codec is a live HDMI signal out of the camera. Taking the card out and playing it on another device, even if it has HDMI, it still has been encoded. I haven't seen this device- but this is the way it usually works (to my knowledge)

nope. hdmi output only.

I think if you really want to record from the live HDMI signal and bypass the AVCHD codec you would have to record straight to a computer with a HDMI capture card, or use something like this http://www.convergent-design.com/CD_Products_nanoFlash.htm
that way you can record I-frame files on a 4:2:2 color space!
