* Single Fiber Connection

'Single-cable' transmission system carries all required signals from the HDC-F950 to its remote base station --- the HDCU-F950 camera control unit. Signals transmitted through this optical cable include the 10-bit digital high-definition R, G and B video signals, audio feeds, intercom, camera power, a variety of camera control signals and 4:2:2 return HD video signals.

:Q
 
And once digitized, you're talking about a sustained data rate of ~80MB a second just to play one stream of video.

Aye🙁

Comrpessed or not? Most of them are HIGHly compressed and have numbers that are astonomical

That's uncompressed, but not 10 bit 4:4:4. That's uncompressed 8 bit 4:2:2.

According to that article though, the 1080i (uncompressed?) capacity is 100Mbps...

Both the Sony HDV and the Panasonic DVCPRO HD formats are compressed. The Sony is MUCH more compressed than the Panasonic, however.

Still better than the comaprable sony. I've seen those 1440x1080 clips, and they are trounced by the better stuff....😛
 
What type of machine would it take to edit this video, say an hours worth at at time?

I've seen a dual 2.4Ghz pull it off handly with Avid, but that is all info they gave in terms of specs

Something like this this.

You could do it based on Avid's minimum specs, but of course the better the system the faster it is to work with.

In your dreams or 5-7 years into the future. 🙂

Interestingly enough, that will be a reality. Hell, DV is reality, and many people ooed and ahhed at its costly release...
 
If I could pick between the announced sub-$10K offerings from Panasonic and JVC and Sony's two HDV cameras, I'd go with the Panasonic, no question.

The added cost of the P2 cards is certainly a significant issue--I'd read that an AG-HVX200 bundled with two 8G cards is supposed to be priced at $10k even at year's end--but I don't see the short running time as that big an issue. If you're doing event work, then, yes, it's a huge issue, but when you're working on a typical feature, how many minutes do you actually shoot in a day, anyway? Sixteen minutes on two cards is short when you compare it to modern digital tape formats, but compare it to the eleven minutes you get out of a 400-foot roll of super-sixteen...and it should be a little simpler to copy the data off the P2 cards than to reload a typical film camera.

The only other downside I see is that the Panasonic has a fixed lens (the JVC's is removeable), but in every other respect, it sounds like the Panasonic has huge advantages over the others.

...but it's still not even supposed to be available until near the end of the year. 🙁

Just imagine if they allow you to use your own HDs and such, or make an adapter...I don't even use more than 15min per shot using a 25Mbps DV camera.

8minutes would be great...

that said, having enough REDUNDANT storage or, worst, archival duties would be a real bitch...
