Probably I will buy the HVX200, but I goinig to buy a workstation in orden to capturing HD. What kind of capture card do I need? Do I need 1 TB of hard drive?
what about the firestore hard drive? I was told that I can capture HD using a Laptop(notebook) with a capturing software.Is that true?
Good bye(sorry for my english :)
 
You won't need a capture card if your staying in native DVCPRO-HD.
Storage depends on what your shooting. DVCPRO-HD is roughly 1 gig per minute.
You can capture via firewire to firestore or through a laptop with software such as Final Cut Pro 4.5 -5.

If your using P2..then just transfer files over to computer either:
1. Put P2 card directly into laptop card slot and tranfer to HD, then import into Final Cut or other supported software.
2. Transfer mxf files off camera into computer over USB port. Or tranfer over usb to ANY external hard drive.
Ingest into edit program same as above.

Or, Stream (not MXF..but plain DVCPRO Codec here) footage over firewire into firestore or directly into Final Cut capture.

MXF is only file wrapper when not streaming live via firewire.

Easy easy easy!!!
