The FS100 and BMD's new Hyperdeck

As a proud owner of the NEX-FS100UK Camera with the Hyperdeck Shuttle I can't begin to tell you how pleased I was to hear that there's a simple Workflow for removing the 2:3 Pull Down using Apple Compressor available with Final Cut Pro Studio:

Couldn't be happier.


There's just one little problem.


I don't own a Mac.


I own a PC with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5


OK now what?


Any ideas?
 
After Effects does a pretty acceptable job of performing the pulldown reversal.

do you think a SATA 3G hd would be sufficient for BM? I have WD 500G Scorpio Black in my mind.
any experience? or does it have to be a Solid State drive?
 
Yap, has to be solid state. Been there, done that.
And you better stick to the SSDs that BM recomends - been there also....

There are no hard drives that would consistently give you 150MBps+ write speeds.
 
Frank you have been working with this deck for a while now, so how is it to work
with? I would be interested in hearing what you have to say about it, as I am looking
into getting one my self as apposed to the Atmos Ninja?
Thanks in advance for your opinion.

It depends what your shooting style is.
If you need to move fast, tight budget or time frame - forget it and get a Ninja.

If you are on a set to do narrative, or commercial, bluescreen, even music video and some documentary scenarios, it´s a great device.
Especially for the money - you get a great HDMI to SDI and vice versa converter with a free uncompressed recorder ;-). What more can you ask for?

You ether need a ton of SSDs or a laptop, docking station and a bunch of hard drives.

That´s how I shoot.
I have 3 SSDs - each one lasts for about 12 minutes - much like in the old days of film.
While I shoot, I copy the full SSDs to a normal hard drive. So I don't run out of space.

Quality is just great and it´s extremely swift in the timeline, cause the processor don´t have much to do.

You need a RAID - but simply software stripping two or three fast HDDs is enough for performance.
The only downside for me is, that the SSds need to be MAC formated and I´m on PC. A bit of a pain in the a... but I can work around it.


I wish i could use NTFS formated SSD and that I could switch it, to record only two audio tracks, but otherwise I´m a happy camper.

Frank,

I'm curious. Do you think the external recorder solution is sufficiently better than the onboard AVCHD solution? For run and gun, there's a lot of added inconvenience for marginal improvement in captured data, I would think. I'm just curious about where you see the advantage to any alternative solution to AVCHD.
 
The implementation of AVCHD on the FS100 is surprisingly good and holds up in post much better than I thought.
For 80% off the most scenarios, it´s not worth to use the Hyperdeck (or any other recorder), but for the rest - greenscreen, critical footage or if you just want the best, it´s a great option.
If you have to move fast/run & gun one man show, I would recommend to use the internal card or FMU if you do a concert or other extrema long recording.
