What do I need to push DVCPRO HD

Hello all,
We have an upcoming project that will be shot using the Panasonic 200 with the P2 cards. The client would like us to shoot in DVCPRO HD 1080i or 720p. The data will be captured to a firestore drive in the field and then placed on our drives here, which are raided promax towers that interface through firewire 800. Since the firestore unit itself is firewire 400, I'm guessing that firewire 800 drives will be more than capable of playing back the DVCPRO HD footage without hickups. Is this assumption correct? Or do we need to go sata or some other more robust route to edit in DVCPRO HD?
Also on a side note, our CRT monitor is not HD capable. We have dual cinema displays here. Will the playback look decent on these monitors?
G5 Quad PPC 2.5 GB ram   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

For drives, all you need is firewire 800. Firewire 400 would even work if you shot 720p24...at 24PN. But I used G-Raids with great success...although the NEWER ones aren't all that reliable when you try to daisy chain them. I like the CalDigit stuff....firewire VR is very capable.
Playback will be decent, although you'll most likely use both monitors for your edit space. And you can get decent playback on one in Digital Cinema Preview mode. But if you want true Broadcast HD monitoring, if you just throw a Matrox MXO into the mix (connects to the mac via DVI) then you can turn one of the Apple 23" Cinema Displays into a true HD monitor. I got it to match VERY CLOSE to my HD CRT.

    what do i need to connect my mac book pro to the tv with the mac's thunderbolt port to hdmi? I have the newest macbook pro. I'm wanting to have the best picture I can get from my 1080p tv. thanks

    Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
    In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
    When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
    You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
    Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.

    3. Make sure Date and Time is correctly set; Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
    4. Make sure Push Notification is enabled

  • What do I need for Mic and Guitar?

    I'm new to GB. I have ilife 11.
    I've got a few electric guitars and a condenser mic (phantom power). What do I need to plug them into my Macbook Pro?
    I don't want to spend too much money and am looking for something that works well, sounds good and is hassle free (plug and play) I just want to lay down some demos.
    Something like this? It really does not have great reviews.
    http://www.amazon.com/M-Audio-US44010-Interface-GT-Player-Software/dp/B00061ZM2Y
    What do you guys and girls recommend? A little direction would be much appreciated!

    If you can push your budget up to $249, you'd be doing yourself a HUGE favor. This gives you the ability to pick up the Apogee One. Apogee is a company that's well respected, and makes really good stuff. This has a mic input, guitar input, made for Mac. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/One/
    The M-Audio stuff gets pretty good as you step up into the higher priced models and the firewire ProFire stuff, but it's hard to beat the Apogee One as an entry level interface.
    In my opinion, anything that costs less than $249 (the lower end M-Audio stuff) is simply not very good. If you're going to spend the money, make it worth it.

  • I have a Mac BookPro 0S X 10.6.8 what do I need to upgrade

    I have a Mac BookPro 0S X 10.6.8 what do I need to do so Im ready for when the new Mountain Lion comes out this summer? Do I need lion first if so what one?   I have always used a PC so if anyone could help me I would really appreciate it..

    Far as anyone knows, some 64 bit Mac's will be excluded as not having enough graphics muscle to handle Mountain Lion.
    http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2012/02/whats-keeping-mountain-lion-off-of-som e-64-bit-macs.ars
    If your on 10.6.8, my advice is to stay there, you have the maximum range of available software for that OS X version and all third party hardware, games and utilites etc., are still working fine for that OS version.
    Right now some developers are transgressing to 10.7 Lion, many have started or not going to at all,
    A lot just got blindsided with the 10.8 announcement as Lion has only been out several months.
    You can see right here what I'm talking about, still a mixed bag with 10.7.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Actually you don't need to upgrade to 10.7, if something messes up on your machine your left on your own or have to call in a profe$$ional to rescue you.
    There is no "must have" on Lion 10.7 really for most users to justsify the risk upgrading and many feel the drastic changes are unrealistic, it's just Apple pushing the envelope and changing the OS just for the heck of it to sell new hardware.
    10.6 is the fastest, best OS X version Apple has ever made. Plus third party software is plentiful.
    Until the same conditions exist again, I don't advise buying a new machine or OS upgrade until it does in your case.

  • Why/what is applepushserviced trying to push on Snow Leopard?!?

    Just updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with the new iTunes 10 so I could install iOS5 on my iPhone.  Now, Little Snitch keeps telling me applepushserviced is trying to connect to various subdomains of push.apple.com. 
    1) I thought this daemon was only on Lion. 2) what could it possibly be trying to push? 3) anybody know of a way I can take a look at what it's pushing?
    Thx!

     What I want to know are specifics about what it is actually doing. 
    It doesn't make sense to me because 1) this is not an iOS device, 2) I don't use iCal or Apple Mail or iCloud, or FaceTime, 3) it only popped up today when I opened iTunes, but didn't pop up at all yesterday when I had iTunes open almost all day. So, why now? And what could iTunes possibly need with push notifications?
    Nobody cares, Apple and the entire industry has shown they clearly intend to do what ever the heck they want, whenever they want and the only choice you have is not to use anything they make.
    You can't use technology at all anymore without everything being recorded for some "helpful" "geewihiz bang" feature and everyone knowing about it in the process.
    It's imposible to keep up with all the "what does this do and why(s)" and all the details because as soon as you get it figured out, they come up with another one. Or it takes a year or so to find out they have been doing something all along, like recordng people's iPhone GPS locations and transfering that back to a Mac in a hidden file that people were using software to track others with. Apple got caught on that and called in on the carpet in front of Congress to answer for it.
    Let me sum it up (and this is only what I know):
        •    Google records all your searches
        •    Google and others use web bugs to track you
        •    SSD drives are not secure eraseable
        •    Cell carriers track your GPS location through tower triangulation 8 times a hour keep it for 6 months
        •    ISP's record all your web traffic and keeps it for a year, some have been selling this data now
        •    HTML 5 has introduced new cookie tracking methods
        •    There are Flash cookies, Evercookies and new forms of cookie tracking popping up all the time
        •    Facebook is recording all the websites you visit even if you log out of Facebook
        •    Apple's Safari respawns cookies, gives your location data to websites
        •    There are log files on Mac's that record all the DNS lookups (aka sites you visited)
        •    Apple, Microsoft and Google all have been caught violating people's security and privacy, then give some "opt out" selection somewhere that most people don't know or bother with so eventually it just gets removed from lack of attention and outrage.
        •    Devices from Cellbrite can bypass passwords, encryption and download the entire contents of over 3000 models of cell phones SSD drives in a few minutes.
        •    There OS X based "nannyware" that can be used by parents, corporations, schools and business that monitor and even watch the screen of others computers, even turn on the microphone and webcam.
        •    There is Linux based forensic software that can be booted off a disk/USB on Mac's or PC's and everything a person was doing with the machine laid out like a road map. Delete all you want, it still appears.
        •    There is EFI firmware on Mac's that programs can be installed that bypass and work entirely outside of OS X, get online, check your drive and watch your web traffic.
        •    Apple Mac's incorportate your personal identification all over the computer, broadcasts it online and over local networks ("Tim Jones computer")
        •    Companies, advertising, search engines and otherwise, are in business to profile everyone at a given IP address, supposedly they can classify your personality within the first dozen or two websites you visit, they do this to target advertising at you that your most likely to click on, tugging on your beliefs, political view, age and other factors.
        •    Supposedly cell phones can be turned on and into listening devices
        •    OS X 10.6.8/10.7.x updates are synching data from Apple for iOS devices and iCloud already.
        •    OnStar and TomTom have reportly been caught tracking users.
    I used to advise people how to clean up their machines, but it's been long impossible mission now.
    You only choice(s) is if you have a hard drive:
    1: Zero erase the entire hard drive, reformat and reinstall OS X, your programs from fresh sources and files from (not TimeMachine!) backup
    2: or reverse clone from a pristine clone on a external drive already previously preserved in that state
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16276201#16276201
    Treat all technology like the spy/rat/snitch/fink it is and don't tell it anything you don't want the world knowing about, think about that before you click every link. Don't carry anything electronic if you don't want your location broadcasted to everyone and be targeted for advertising and other scams as you walk around a shopping mall.
    The war is lost, game over.

  • Camileo P10 - What tools are needed?

    Hi,
    first i wanted to ask what codec is needed to edit the footage shot with a Camileo P10. I wanted to edit the videos with Adobe After Effects but it went all **** on the files, stating something about preblems with the audio and played the video chopped and muted. Didnt have any problems, even corrupted video files worked better than the sh** this camera pushes out of its sd-slot.
    NO, I dont want to convert the files.
    NO, I dont need workarounds.
    NO, I wont buy another Toshiba cam.
    NO, I dont need links from old threads that lead me nowhere.
    All i wanna hear is what Codec is needed, since it has to be an error with that. Plays fine with VLC, but not with WMP, winamp, quicktime, anything else.
    Alternatively you can suggest some tools i should use. I'd prefer a sledgehammer, but maybe a buzz saw is fine too. unfortunately i can't make a video of destroying the cam. you should know why.

    Hello
    > btw, i figured it out by myself
    Can you also post how you have fixed it by yourself? I think this would be interesting for other users.
    Furthermore I dont understand your problem. Here its an user to user forum where you can talk with people like you and me. That means there is no warranty that you will get an answer to your question. Not all questions can be answered from users so sometimes its advisable to contact an official authorized service provider. The guys can provide really professional help.
    And I doubt that other manufactures have a better support. From my experience I can say that Im satisfied with this forum and my authorized service provider and as you can read here, this can confirm many other users as well.
    Last but not least the focuses here in forum are notebooks because its a Computer Systems Support Forum as you see under the Toshiba Logo. Do you know what this mean? It means that the most discussions and users are looking in notebook and software section only.
    Anyway, Im glad to hear that the problem is fixed. :)

    What do I need to buy in order for my IPod Classic 160 GB to connect with my blue tooth Ultimate Ears Boom speaker?

    Upgrading RAM and your HD will give you some performance gains, but depending on what you are doing, it may not be enough. Your best friend will always be processor speed. This has a direct relation to how many cores and the speed of the RAM.
    However, if you are unable to spring for a new computer, then the options of running more RAM and a biggger, faster HD should ruduce some bottle necks.
    Here is a site where you can check out what your computer can handle http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade They have some charts comparing speed gains with various components.
    Are you using the track freeze option to manage the track count and subsequent demands on your machine?

    1 -if you Switch One fotostream on all 3 devices of yours which are working on the same apple id -all Fotos you Take with your iPad will be synchronized via icloud to the other 2 decvices ( w-lan and battery depending).
    2- If you select foots or a whole album in iPhoto on your air or iMac and choose than puplish --> fotostream --> new or existing event you can key in a friends mail. If this friend has iCloud and iPhoto ( for iMac or MacBook ) and click on the link in the email it will download this fotos in the fotostream section in iPhoto. If he has a iPad, iPhone,... It will do it in the foto app and if he doesn't have a iCloud account at all and you choose "public web site" while publishing he can see your fotostream on a website.

    Are you talking about the English dictionary?  Mine seems to work ok on the AZ republic web page.  Does yours not work on all webpages?  Does it not work when you type an English word in Notes and then do select and define?
