“Is anyone working with media recorded on GFPak via an Ikegami GFCam HDS-V10? We just started working with the Adobe production suite, and I can’t seem to find any reference to the best way to import clips recorded to a GFPak. In Avid, the GFPak mxf (which I believe is similar but not identical to XDCAM) must be transcoded to a different codec to allow for playback and storage. Does anyone have a workflow suggestion for removing clips from the GFPak to the storage harddrive, and what format/codec conversion might suit the clips’ playback best?”

Ikegami HDS-V10 employs a new image device and superior video processing, the EditcamHD achieves 1000TV line of horizontal resolution, 56dB (target) of S/N ratio, and F10 (target) at 2000lx for sensitivity. Power consumption of the camera head is only 32W (target), comparable to SD type camcorders.The latest compression codec is used to retain the superb picture quality in the recorded clips. Utilizing MPEG-2 HD Long GOP-50Mbps/ I frame 100Mbps Multi CODEC with an MXF File Wrapper ensures the widest compatibility with existing industry infrastructure, metadata and non-linear editing (NLE) systems.
