yes, they said they would have the Sony CineAlta HDcam codec available in
March that engineering was working on the project and Sony was working with
them to get a total solution. that's good news. however, they did call
friday and offered yet two other options which included FCP and a PC
solution with Avid and a special capture card that cost $1500 BUT that Avid
would do a 4:2:2 capture while the Mac solution with the same card would
give us 4:4:4 and though i have no idea what all that means, what i was told
was that in order to do realtime HDcam we would have to have the 3 - 4's :o)

btw, any idea where i could get a bunch of 8 to 20 second clips that would
show transisions, FX effects, 2D, 3D, etc. that would be unbranded? i want
to show our founder this software capabilities on 15 Sept but don't have
time to "learn & do" a short movie that would show what we could do if we
had both LE 6 and Edius Pro 3 :o)
