Red Rocket, will it do the job?

[ThomtheEditor]

I know the red rocket will give us unparelled transcoding speed which is great; the other thing i'm looking to do with it is real time output to dvd recorder w/ timecode burn-in for real-time dailies creation; is this a functionality that is available now. I know it was in the works as of a couple weeks ago; but we're starting to shoot monday; i held off on this decision as long as we could.

thanks,

Guess you need a DVD recorder with component or sdi input. If they exist.
They do exist with firewire but then you get DV quality.

There is currently no way to do tcb with Red Rocket, you would need to use Red Rushes, which also does not support Red Rocket. You can run HD-SDI from the RR through a HD-SDI to HDMI which many consumer DVD recorders support. There are HD-SDI to SD component or composite convertors out there that work as well.

I was under the impression that you could (or will be able to at some point) add a tcb in rocket-cine; run that out the sdi port thru a downres to sd component into dvd recorder, is there any rough eta on when the next build will be released?

Cuurently both tcb and audio do not flow through the HD-SDI port of the Red Rocket.
