We are using a Panasonic HPX-370 camera with FMLE via firewire to a Mac laptop. We can only get FMLE to recognize the signal from the camera at 1280 x 720 59.94i with a frame rate of 60i using the DVCPROHD codec. We really would like to set the camera to SD, something like 720 x 480 at 29.97 or possible squeeze for 16:9 possibly using DVCPRO50 or DVCPRO25 but FMLE won't recognize the video signal at anything by 1280x 720 60i using DVCPROHD. Our client is only purchasing 1MB bandwidth at the venues for events so SD would be best for webcasts. We also back up to P2 cards so you can imagine that 8 hours at DVCPROHD in that size is a mammoth amount of data to back on hard drives.
We are very new to FMLE, any thoughts?
Thanks!
