Well, just checked in Adobe and files appear to be correctly flagged. So it appears to be a problem in TV stations' ingest. Thank you for your reply! Cheers, Kriss

Hi there! Are aspect ratio flags for SD MXF Op1a files properly set when exported from Avid? I'm sending IMX 30 16:9 MXF Op1a files (exported from Avid Symphony 6.0) to local TV station and they see those files as 4:3. So my conclusion is that Avid generates incorrect AR flag for MXFs (and also for QT but that's already an age-old problem of

Hi there! I've been wondering recently about the use of the term PsF. AFAIK PsF is a method of carrying progressive image frames over interlaced video systems in SDI protocol, HDCAM, D5 and some other tape formats and is technically achieved by putting the first half of progressive frame in the upper lines and second half in lower lines of interlaced

Hi there! I have a quadcore (Xeon 2.8 Ghz, 12 Gb RAM) MacPro 5.1 computer with Nitris DX running Symphony 6.0. When doing colour corrections, the system gets very sluggish - each adjustment I do in CC mode happens with quite a delay and obviously with lots of effort for the computer. I've read that MC/Symphony supports Quadro 2000/4000 graphics

Hi there! If I do a FAM output to XDCAM PDW-1500P deck in IMX 50 format from Avid sequence which is already mixdowned to MPEG 50, will Avid or XDCAM deck re-encode this MPEG 50 video media before putting it to disc? Or will it just copy the stream to the XDCAM disc as is? To generalize the question, if the sequence codec matches XDCAM output format

Thanks for reply! I already have Rosetta Stone 232 to 422 adapter. I was using some noname USB to Serial adapter for couple of years and despite it's not qualified for Avid, it worked perfectly with v5. Now after upgrade to v6, Avid recognizes the adapter device but for some reason does not see any deck connected to it, so I guess it's time

Hi there! Is there a difference between Innosys Keyspan USA-19HS and Tripp Lite Keyspan USA-19HS USB to serial adapters? It's not that easy to buy a new Keyspan USA-19HS here in Latvia so I'm looking for it in eBay and there are both Innosys and Tripp Lite makes available. The particular Innosys make I've found seems to be much cheaper than

Thanks for the useful link! This answers my second question - about about colour spaces in general. But still I would like to know, what do I get when I export QT file with RGB levels from Avid and what's coming out from FCP7.

Hi there! I understand that in Avid's Import/Export settings RGB and 601/709 describe colour levels (legal or full range). What I want to know is - when I export QT movie from Avid, which 'flavour' of RGB do I actually get - is it sRGB, Rec. 709 or something else? The question is about gamma and not the colour levels (since gamma is the

So you think I should look for some kind of read/write manager software for LTFS and avoid using Windows explorer? The strangest part for me is that writing those small files to tape works perfect - writing speed is 100-110 Mb/s (without hardware data compression) and 150-160 Mb/s (with hardware data compression). Read speed is the same for large files
