Its great to have image acquisition tools that are finally AHEAD of display technology. We have had computer monitors capable of 1600x1200 for ages now but no video to take advantage of that.

Now, suddenly, we will all be shooting moving images more then FOUR times that size. So exciting.

Yes, but maybe Apple will announce new displays... like maybe in 10 minutes :greedy:

$3500 is for the AJA IO-HD

 

[Alex Boothby]

I think $3500 is for the "IO/HD". New FCP is $999. I think.

Edit - Anders beat me!

 

[Jim Arthurs]

$3500?? Thats more than double what it cost now! What are they doing? FCP has long been more affordable than this! Damn it, I wanted those funds to go towards Red accessories. Goodbye second LCD... (yeah a know, play me a violin...)

No, no... that's the new IO-HD AJA hardware box for converting to and fro their new ProRez codec... not the cost of FCP upgrade.

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

$3500??

The $3500 is the price of the IO-HD module. They haven't announced pricing for Final Cut yet -- they're still going over all the applications.

I think $3500 is the cost of the external hardware box, the I/O HD. I think Final Cut Studio 2 still costs the same... we'll see.
EDIT - Wow, you all are fast!

 

[LighthouseMEdia]

I read $3495 as the cost for the AJA HD i/o hardware solution.

Yes, its for a hardware encoder box.

Exactly!

 

[Anders Holck]

At least we seem to agree on that

 

[Shawn Nelson]

Whew.....okay, sorry for the panic, I'm here at NAB in the convention lobby and went into price panic. Thanks for the re-assurance!

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Hey, Boothba... $999 is the 10-user FC Server, $1999 for unlimited clients. Still waiting on pricing of Final Cut Studio.

 

[Alex Boothby]

Everybody - all together now: "IO-HD is $3500" - LOL

 

[Andrew Benz]

lol, six price corrections-- I love this site--all good guys looking out for one another...

Totally. I should be cleaning the house right now, but damn the dishes, I want to see more of this!!!!

Just proving the "quickest and best" info is no longer in the hands of those there in person... unless you were in the event, of course.

Having said that, see you guys at NAB tomorrow morning... I'm getting the Hell out of these forums and doing something productive in the sun this afternoon

Talk about taking on Avid, 1999.00 USD for a cross platform dcm is great if it works. Not being FCP centric is a wise move too.

From Mike @ www.hdforindies.com :

(LIVE COMMENT FEEDBACK - THE I/O HD BOX IS $3495, WE DON'T HAVE PRICING ON FINAL CUT STUDIO 2 YET...dunno if you need other stuff for converting to ProRes - I/O HD does it in realtime, but how long does it take without? Dunno yet)
