NAB Special DVCPROHD/P2 Event

Oh man next time we need a real meet and greet. It was a pleasure to meet David J., Noah and Nick. Plus all the other dvxusers! The get together at the Hard Rock hotel was very fun. Greg Mote from cinetactics ( Matteblox) was there. He gave out some t-shirts. Great guy with a great product! I hope I spelled his name right.
(Edit) It was great meeting C.J. also!
 
Yes.. Greg Mote and cinetactics is a very supportive company, and all you guys where great. Can't wait till next year.. or DVXexpo West at least.
 
The P2 cards can record DVCPRO and DVCPRO50 (which are standard definition) as well as HD. DVCPRO is 25mbps and is basically miniDV (4:1:1 color sampling), DVCPRO50 is 50 mbps and has color sampling of 4:2:2. So, a 2GB P2 card can hold about 8 minutes of DVCPRO and 4 minutes of DVCPRO50. A 4GB would hold double of each.
 
Any of the formats can be recorded to P2. You get longer running times with the lower-resolution formats. On a 4gb card you get 4 minutes of 1080, 10 minutes of 720/24p, 8 minutes of DVCPRO50, or 16 minutes of DV or DVCPRO25.
 
Bilgami, I'm not sure you understand what's happening there.

The camera supports three different recording mediums.

DV and DVCPRO25 are a standard-def recording medium. They can only record 720x480 at 60 interlaced fields per second, using 4:1:1 color and a 5:1 DCT compression system.

DVCPRO50 is also a standard-def recording medium. It records 720x480 at 60 fields per second, but has twice the color (with 4:2:2) and a lower compression ratio, 3.3:1.

720p and 1080p/i are high-def. They're not standard-def. So you need to use DVCPRO-HD if you want to record any sort of 720 or 1080 imagery.
 
dvcpro50

dvcpro50

is the dvcpro hd only available in big tape or does it come in mini dv size as well.

Bill- Where've you been? This camera records only DV onto miniDV tape. All the other formats have to be recorded onto the P2 cards, or the unclear hard drive solution.

You can't pack the information of DVCPRO 50 or DVCPROHD onto that size of tape (MiniDV).

You can still record DVCPRO HD onto a Medium DVCPRO cassette. The AJ-P46M at 11 minutes, or the 66M which records 16 minutes @HD.
 
16min

16min

I dont see the point of shooting for 16min granted its a quality 16min. But I figure what the hell I dont mind shooting on mini for the time being thanx for all the help.[font=&quot]
