a 4.4 Christianson said, "The Panasonic gear is invaluable for our work as a coaching staff. It has made the world of the 49ers much more efficient and provided us with limit- less capabilities when it comes to what we • shoot, edit and ultimately evaluate. Another benefit of AVCHD acquisition is that rather than storing DV25 footage, AVCHD more than quadruples the current capacity of our existing servers." "A standard workflow for us during practice would be to shoot all six cameras from different locations," Christianson said. "We pop the SD cards out of the HMR1Os (using the P2 recordings as a backup) after each drill and then ingest that video via XOS Digital's Thunder Football HD (a digital editing/coaching system designed specifically for football)." "Because of the AVCCAM format we are able not only to ingest at a quicker rate but also capture the pause records and marks and create specific instances of each play in practice," he added. "The camcorders are providing an immediate benefit when it comes to time and workflow efficiency. "Digital editing used in tandem with the Panasonic camcorders give us the flexibility and access to certain types of footage instantaneously and allows us to have the video readily available for the coaches within a time frame we would never have with tape. Essentially, before the team walks off the practice field the edits are ingested and complete for viewing. High-definition is a tremendous advantage in the 16x9 aspect ratio alone in affecting how we view a football play. That, encompassed with the quality boost, has made the evaluatioprocess significantly easier and clearer." , Equipment Overview • AJ-HPX3100 P2 HD Compact ShoulderMounts • AG-HPX370 1/3" P2 HD Camcorder featuring advanced U.L.T.
