Camera Acting as HDD Host?

[Steve Freebairn]

Will the camera be able to offload footage through Esata and USB/Firewire without a computer? Basically will the camera be able to act as a host? How is storage accomplished on the Red-drive/raid? Are new folders Created everytime you hit record? Is the audio embedded or not? Thanks

[Rob Lohman]

Yes to folders & embedded audio

Rob, just don't Panasonic "P2" the process... scads of folders, split audio and and crap no one should have to deal with.

Sorry, gettin' tired of the old P2 workflow... it ain't no fun 'no more. If it ever was.

Thanks for the info Rob. This will be way better than P2, unless we have to have that lastclip.txt file for every shot we do :)
