I'm hoping you knowledgeable foks out there can help me with my dillemma - I have been working on audio production for vision for quite some time but I now have to get some sort of vision deck for my ProTools MIX facility. I will be generally seeking work for television episodic/advertising/corporate work, and it seems every one of those fields requires a different medium to be used - whether it be SP 2track, SP 4 track, digital SP, DVC etc etc etc.

I have a DLV setup so I can capture and work from any format. I also already have a da88 so I can return a synchronized digital multitrack format, however I would imagine a greater portion of my work would require me to re-insert the audio back on to the original format - and there ain't no way I can afford to buy all the formats (especially at the moment with so much emerging technology).

Whats the general feel out there? Should I just buy a SP playback deck for general compatibility and return work on DA-88 (or timecode dat if necessary), or should I at least have a stereo recorder. It seems that for the price of a recorder, I could get a SP playback deck and a DVC playback deck - is that a better option?

By the way, I am in Australia, so local and international feedback would be appreciated.

Sorry no one has responded to your question. I will wait until tomorrow and if there are no replies by then, I will move it over to Craig Anderton's forum.

Thanks for joining us.

Try checking out http://www.videography.com, they might be able to help. I think my forum is more the kind of place where someone would ask what audio deck would go best with an existing video system. Good luck!!

I'm in about the same situation.
ProTools TVpost set in this room and no VCR.
I mix to TC-DAT and make a transfer outdoors because i can't afford a DIGI-BETA. When i feel i bring too much money to the posthouse with all those video formats of which i only use one, i'll start thinking of buying that peticular format. The counterside of this is that my clients can't bring in a tape and walk out the same day with the tape. But that is not the kind of work i would like to do all the time. Also loading extra material from the source tapes can be a bit of a hassle, but, as we both know, we cannot buy all video standards.
