Well, so obviously we haven't been blogging as much as we could. That's also a snag since the website is the main source of Synchromesh information right now.

I will try harder.

Let's start with talking about the basic ArtNet profile, as currently implemented.

There's a very nice little short piece made on a Canon D-SLR that makes me think it's ready as an HD shooting technique. Looks nearly as nice as a Red - more photographic than filmic, but that may be down to the maker.

There's been a bit of a push for 'uncompressed' as a file format definition for onsite video delivery - as if it's a magic bullet. But there's some severe problems with that specification, as many technicians have been finding.

We often describe Synchromesh as a 'Multi-Res' playback system, and there's a good reason for that. What we do is keep each video in a native format as long as possible, avoiding scaling or conversion as much as possible. In the case of resolution, and interlace mode, that means trying to only scale the video once.
