Just thought some of you on the list might have some ideas about the
Flyer. Is it just me, or does the lack of timecode in/out seem like
a real drawback on the Flyer. I understand that the quality is
designed to be broadcast quality, however from the viewpoint of an
editor the lack of timecode in/out has some definate drawbacks. I do
a lot of editing of hour long format shows and the drive space needed
to hold that at D2 quality is substantial. Most of my clients want
to digitize much more than an hour of material for a 1 hour show.
With documentaries, they may want to load many hours to
pick/experiment with. If you could digitize at low rez to make your
editing decisions, then go back and grab just the program material at
high rez, you could get by with a resonable (though expensive) disk
array of some kind. But the lack of timecode in/out precludes this
by design. Also, even in an ideal world, I will need to occasionally
go to another facility for some new bell or whistle. How will I
reference the original footage? Am I missing something or is the
Flyer just aimed at the "event" market, where the Toaster is more
than enough? While I'm at it, how does the Flyer handle slo-mo and
audio. I've heard that audio may be handled by a Sunrize interface.
All in all, when you start adding it up, the $5,000 price tag keeps
inching up quickly and you arrive at a price that is considerably
more than $5000. Mind you, I'm not complaining, just trying to get
some reasonable figure in my head as to what it will Really cost to
go with the Flyer.
I know this is a Lightwave list, but I'm not on the Toaster list. If
anyone else is, please forward this message and tell them to e-mail
me if they have any ideas. Again, forgive me for burdening this list
with a non-lightwave subject, but the folk on this list seem to know
more about what's going on with NewTek than anyone I talk to in
person. Thanks in advance for any info.
