The PC uses a Decklink Mini Monitor card with SDI going to my FSI Monitor (Input #1)

One port is already connected to my RAID. The new PC also has a Gigabyte motherboard with 2 TB3 ports. So, now I find myself with a nMP that I use only for Prores exports, and IвЂ™d like to utilize it for Scopebox as well.

IвЂ™ve recently made the switch from a 2014 nMP (8 core, 32GB Ram, dual D700s), to a custom built PC (14 core i9, 128GB Ram, dual 1080ti). This is an extremely well thought out product that both our production and digital screening divisions can make good use of.IвЂ™d like to start using Scopebox with Resolve, but have a few connection-related questions. Picture and accompanying audio where fantastic and the V3HD fit comfortably and seamlessly into our workflow. A good sign that this is a company committed to high standards and customer service.

In short order MOTU contacted me with a new firmware update that resolved it. There was no wait time and the technician was helpful and knowledgeable. We had one minor time code issue and called MOTU tech support. We also tested the unit with Divergent Media's Scopebox software on the Mac, and it interfaced very well.ДЇor such a brand new product I was pleased with how well the hardware and software behaved.

For our recordings we used Final Cut Pro 5.1.4, and the provided V3HD Easy Setups within Final Cut made the process easy.

At first we used manual settings to control the box, and everything was straightforward. There's a wealth of information provided on the front of the V3HD and in the product's software interface, and I soon felt comfortable with the process. Input to the V3HD was via SDI and HD-SDI with embedded audio, while time code was brought in via the unit's LTC connection. In both cases we used a G4 PowerBook and external SATA drives. 'We recently had the opportunity to try out the new V3HD FireWire video interface while preparing for several remote broadcasts, one in standard definition NTSC, and another in 1080i60 high definition. And I have to tell you, as far a gear goes, the V3HD shows well to clients - it looks like a hi-tech piece that belongs in a pro edit bay.' The V3HD actually helped bridge all our concerns about moving to Final Cut Pro. All former Media100 users are in a similar pickle about where to go.

It has the upgrade path for HD, yet performs well for our current SD needs.

And it is small enough to be portable for remote productions. The workflow ease of the V3 makes it a no-brainer. So we purchased a V3HD and absolutely love it. We don't own any HD stuff yet, but it looks like we will land a multi-camera project next spring for a pharmaceutical client, and the V3HD seemed like it would be a perfect fit for the post end. But the lack of a good, versatile SD/HD break-out box was a major hold up. But we weren't happy with the performance and I/O options for the latest Media100 systems, so we were looking closely at changing them over to Final Cut. We have two Final Cut systems and three Media100 systems. 'We are a small boutique video production shop. And every time someone looked at all the inputs on the back of the box they just said, 'Wow!' 'Д¬olin Powers Director of Production and Programming We chose a universal codec and with minimal training or familiarization, our editors were able to plug the V3HD into the Firewire port and go! Our project came in on time with great results.ДЄs time passed we just kept throwing more variations at the V3HD: up-conversion, down-conversion, SD digitizing, HD digitizing, monitoring, even stand-alone conversion. We had four Final Cut Pro workstations (previously DV only) that all required the ability to digitize from XDCAM, HDV and SD component sources in a three-week period. 'The V3HD came along at the perfect time for Mountain Lake PBS. It has served us so well in fact that we purchased a second unit for a new project! We are using the V3HD as a standalone up/down converter to feed our HD router on two sources 24/7 and so far, there hasn't even been a need to reboot it.

E-mail: a broadcast environment where reliability is of utmost importance, the V3HD has been serving us well.
