What camera to choose AVCHD or XDCAM?

Hi people,
I can choose from these two models:
SONY NX5E http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/product-HXRNX5U/
OR
SONY EX1R http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/product-PMWEX1R/
Both camera's are good for me I think but I want to know how they will effect my workspace.
I use a 8core Mac Pro with Premiere Pro 5.5 and on the road I have to be able to edit with a Macbook Pro (newest model) and Premiere Pro 5.5. Which format is fastest to edit with/takes less computing?
Also, I think because of the Cards used in the AVCHD cam its easier to get footage on my macs but I love to know what you guys think!
My two cents ( i might be wrong):
NX5
EX1
Quality
+++
++++
Transferspeed
++++
++
Data-amount
++
+++
Price
4000
5000
Premiere Pro Editing
Price Cards
20
400
Anything Else?

I'm not sure if you can characterize "The MBP does not have those features," is not necessarily accurate. I've used Premiere Pro with MacBook Pros from 2008 as well as the newest 2011 i7 4 core model which I have. Check out their specs here: http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/performance.html.
The newest MBP's have a 'Thunderbolt' port, which is nice since there was a gap for a couple of years where they removed the ExpressCard slot in the smaller than 17" models but the ExpressCard slot allowed me to put in a eSATA PC card and use eSATA RAID drives to edit with the MBP.
Thunderbolt drives, when released soon, can and will have a throughput of upwards of 700MB /s or more (that will cost, however) but it's potentially a very powerful drive and peripheral interface for the future.
I guess I just wouldn't necessarily discount the ability to edit anything on a MacBook pro out of hand, and this is not to disparage the many fine Windows PC laptops which I'm sure have their powerful equivalents and perhaps there are some even more than the Apple mobile line. One thing though that for now some PC Mobile platforms have which the Apple MacBook Pros do not support yet is Nvidia CUDA acceleration, this is an important consideration. I believe some of the mobile nVidia cards support Adobe's MPE CUDA.

Hi,
these are the original specs. your T40 left the factory with:
ThinkPad T40 (2374-BG9)
Based on 2374-8CU: P M 1.5GHz, 512MB RAM, 40GB 5400rpm HDD, 14.1 XGA(1024x768) TFT LCD, 32MB ATI Radeon 7500, 24x-8x DVD(slim), Modem(CDC), Ethernet(LOM), Wireless upgradeable, Secure Chip(TCPA), UltraNav, 6 cell battery, WinXP Pro
"Wireless upgradeable" usually means that your T40 did not leave the factory with a wireless card installed. However, I.B.M. used this marketing term to indicate the model has the wireless antennae installed in the lid of the LCD assembly and can easily have a mini-PCI wireless card added. I have opened up dozens of T40's (including, I believe, some listed as "wireless upgradeable") and I have never found one which did not have an internal wireless card installed. It seems most of these units were upgraded with a wireless card at some point in their history. I also have a theory that many of these "wireless upgradeable" units were purchased in bulk and had mass installations of wireless cards by a secondary party/ technicians before being sold on the final retail market. That's just a theory of mine.
The T40's came with the following three wireless 'B' cards:
ThinkPad Dual-Band 11a/b Wi-Fi Wireless Mini PCI Adapter
Cisco Aironet Wireless 802.11b
Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI adapter
These are the official names designated in System service parts - ThinkPad T40, T40p, T41, T41p, T42, T42p. These were all wireless 'B' adapters, but T40 can easily be upgraded to some of the wireless 'G' cards you see listed for the T42.
There is only one way to know for sure which (if any) wireless card your T40 has. You will have to remove the keyboard and take a look under the hood. Follow the steps in the Hardware Maintenance Manual - ThinkPad T40, T40p, T41, T41p, T42, T42p. Then we can help you locate the appropriate drivers.

As for audio, make sure you are first updated to Service Pack 3. Allow Windows to do other preliminary updates and it should then inform you that Service Pack 3 is ready for download. After installing SP3, you will be able to install audio drivers successfully. See my post here for a few additional hints: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T61-and-prior-T-series-ThinkPad/T60-no-sound-after-reinstalling-XP-sp2/m...
If Windows updates is taking forever to give you the option to install SP3, here is an official Microsoft link where you can directly download SP3. (Many people don't know about this link :http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24). Just keep in mind, however, that you should have a stable XP SP2 setup before installing SP3 as it makes many registry changes and configurations and can lead to blue screens or cause your system to hang upon reboot if not installed properly. (I am speaking from experience LOL ). Also, make sure you have a stable hard drive before installing SP3 as it gives your hard drive a major workout. If your hard drive is corrupted or has just a few KB of bad sectors, this can lead to your system hanging when you try to restart after installation. SP3 will write important data to bad sections of the hard drive, then fail to re-start successfully and it will be a big headache. Therefore, you should run Chkdsk several times to attempt to close off any bad drive sectors before attempting to install SP3. SP2 is quite merciful and installs in a breeze, but SP3 can be treacherous. I mention this because you told us above that your hard drive has previously crashed.
Have a great day. (I do not work for Lenovo)

What sequence to choose?

I am not a newbie to video editing, but I am no pro either! I have taken on a pretty big task of making a family documentry. I have every video and picture from my family's past, and video I just recently shot. The orginal video was recorded on 8MM tape, vhs, HI8, SD, HD60i, iPhone, iPad2. The iPhone and iPad I used an app called Filmic Pro, which was recorded in 30p). I already have everything converted professionally to a digital format on a hard drive. I don't really know what to do here. I don't know what sequence to choose, or if I should work in progressive or interlaced.
Any suggestions?

Thank you for your advise shooternz. I went through all of my footage and made a list of the codecs and pixel x pixel dimensions. The profesionally digitised media are .mov, and the sizes range from 600mb to 10GB.
How do I scale down the footage?
.mov 640 x 480      29.97 fps (transferred from 8mm film)
.mov 720x480        29.97 (transferred from 8mm film)
.mov 720 x 480      29.97 fps (transferred from VHS)
DV 720 x 480         29.97 fps (transferred from Hi8/captured firewire to iMovie)
MPG 720 x 480      29.92 fps (recorded on a 60i consumer camera)
MTS 1440 x 1080 29.97 fps (recorded in 60i consumer camera)
.mov 1280 x 720    30 fps (recorded on iPad2/ used app called Filmic Pro 32mbit/sec)
.mov 1280 x 720    30 fps (recorded on iPhone 5/used app called Filmic Pro 32mbit/sec)
.mov 1920 x 1080 30 fps (recorded on iPhone 5/used app called Filmic Pro 32mbit/sec)
.mov 1920 x 1080 30 fps (recorded on Zoom Q2)
Also when I play any of the footage recorded from the iPad and iPhone in the source window it doesn't play back smooth. No jittery, but kind of warbley.
Thanks

I am recovering from a hospital stay and had to send my wife to retailer to
pick this up because I am accessing email from home until I return to work and

All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

What camera resolution mode is used by the Flash Player camera settings manager

What camera resolution is used by the Flash Player camera settings manager? I am referring to the camera settings that you have to pull up by right-clicking on a Flash Player swf that is running, and from the right-click menu you hit settings...select the camera tab...and then you can hit the little camera icon and will show you the live video feed from the camera.
In order for the live feed to be displayed, Flash Player requests a camera resolution mode to the driver. What mode is being requested?
For example, could it be 160x120 @ 30fps?
Or is it 176x144 @ 30fps?
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help04.html#117113

I have the same cam as you (it's apretty darn good cam IMHO).
I don't ever see any resolution request when I click the icon.
My cam initializes at 1920X1080, per the logitech specs. The box in the settings is 4:3, but the cam is running at 16:9, in apps like Skype, or FaceTime (Mac).
It shows the same setup screen in WIn XP, Vista, Win 7 and Win 8, which ALL share the same cam on my setup.
Being as the cam feed in the setup is 4:3, I'd have to say the resolution is 160:120 as opposed to 176:144 which would be a 5.3:3 or 16:9.

What cameras are compatible with the ipad ?

What cameras are compatible with the I pad?

With the camera connection kit you're able to plug in regular SD cards with one adapter, while the second adapter does include a USB port to plug your camera in. I just remember reading that "most cameras" are compatible.

What cameras are compatible with the camera connection kit

what cameras are compatible with the camera connection kit and ipad2

I also recently bought the camera kit and found that it worked fine as long as you don't format the SD card using PC. Once I re-formatted using my camera I could once again upload my photos. that was until I switched formats to Adobe RAW, it seemed unable to upload again. So I switched to S RAW and that worked fine. Sometimes my kit won't upload photos but I find that by just re-inserting the card it works fine.
Haven't tried video yet, but I recently learned that the devices are quit sensitive to the "Format"(that needs to be FAT32, or exFAT- but in this instance it needs to be formatted by a Mac).
Good luck

What Camera is in the iPhone Model MC608LL

What camera is in my iphone 4? Is it the one I see advertised that has 8 megapixels? Because every picture I take is 680 x 4** something pixels in size, and the 8 megapixel claims to produce picture that can print as big as an 8x10 in. size.
Thanks, Michele

Hi michelepost,
The iPhone 4 has a 5 mega-pixel camera with a 640 X 480 pixel display. You can print any size photo from your camera, but the higher the number of pixels the better the quality of the larger prints. So, you can print an 8X10 picture from your iPhone 4, but the same pricture taken on an iPhone 4S and printed at that size would be sharper.
Best thing to do is try it and see if you like the result.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

What direction to choose after getting ocp

Hello, guys
I am thinking about next step in my education. What course to choose among Oracle products?
I have OCP 11g already and had course in performance tuning.
Can someone give me advice what Oracle product to learn next? I must say that our organization's budget is limited, so I can choose any of 1 week Oracle courses.
I consider Oracle RAC (however, its not used widely in our country), WebLogic, Application server or SOA Suite.
The main criterias are a product's popularity and it should have perspective for the next several years
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Hemant K Chitale написал(а):
You are lucky that your organization is paying for courses !
If you want to continue being a database administrator, RAC would be the direction (the 11gR2 Accelerated Grid and RAC course is the most expensive course I've seen). However, if you are also supporting other products -- e.g. WebLogic is popular -- you'd do a course in that product. If you perceive being an EBusiness Suite administrator, you'd consider a course in EBusiness Suite or Fusion Applications administration.

Thanks. I will study RAC 11g next week.

Same filesize no matter what bitrate I choose

Hello everyone.
So, I just noticed this problem. It doesn't really matter what bitrate I choose (Only matters if I go below 70) I get almost the EXACT same file size and quilty.
Here are my export settings.
I have a YouTube channel and I upload videos everyday so I want them to be in the best quality possible. This has always worked for until recently. If I export the same video with a bitrate of 300 and then again with a bitrate of 200, the filesize difference is usually about 1MB.
This is starting to annoy me a lot because if I check the videos bitrate after I've exported it, it is NOWHERE NEAR 300. For some reason it chooses to render at a bitrate of 76-80 no matter what.
Here is a picture of my timeline:
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CC on a Windows 7 PC.
PC SPECS:
GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 670 4GB
CPU: Intel i7-3770k @3.5Ghz (Overlocked to 4.1Ghz)
RAM: 16GB
MB: GIGABYTE GA-Z77P-D3
If there is anything else I need to tell you that I might've missed, please tell me so!
I really need to get this fixed as my videos look nowhere near as good as they used to now.

Also, please stop telling me that the bitrate is too high or something, that's not the problem.
I get that. As I said, you have hit a wall of some kind. I am not sure that anyone ever tested about 70Mb/s. Maybe that is the wall that can't be climbed over.
Submit a bug report. Perhaps it will be an easy fix. Perhaps they already know about it and are just waiting for enough people to complain that it becomes worth spending engineering resources on it.
If you want to export at that high a rate, and the software seems to let you try it, the the software should actually do it. I agree.
Although at that bitrate you might as well export to a lossless codec. What is the point of a lossy codec at a bit rate higher than the original recording? It can't be quality because you can't get higher than 70 right now, so my guess is that you have never seen a quality improvement at 300. You can't get to 300. Not really.

I dont understand what camera raw is

Can anyone explain it to me like I was in 3rd grade? How do I access it??

Camera Raw is Photoshop's raw file processor. It can also be used with other file types such as JPEG. If you know what Lightroom is, ACR is very similar to that. You can get to it by opening a raw file (or a JPEG if you have Photoshop set to open them that way), or you can also use it by right clicking on a file in Bridge and selecting "Open in Camera Raw."
Here is what Camera Raw looks like:

What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6. Thank you.

Really, this is a question you should be asking yourself...
What do you shoot? Makes a difference...
Typical ISO that you shoot? Makes a difference...
Shooting for clients or yourself? Makes a difference...
Look, there is no magic bullet...the ACR/LR "Default" should only be changed for those adjustments you make 70-90% of the time and sould not be confused with image by image adjustments...
So, as asked, your question can not really be answered other than to say, use a default that suits you.
