Recording IMX Content
Image Server is capable of recording MPEG-2 material in SONY IMX format at 30, 40 or 50 Mb/s.
This format must be selected if material is to be edited in Final Cut PRO. Material recorded in
Main or 4:2:2 profiles cannot be edited on Final Cut Pro.
From the Configure Window –> Choose Channel 1
• Set the MPEG-2 Format to 4:2:2 IMX
• Set the Max Bit Rate to 30, 40 or 50 Mb/sec.
The use of 30 Mb/s is strongly recommended. The additional quality of 40 and 50 Mb/s in most
cases is not worth the extra disk storage space and transfer time required.
ImageServer 2000, MAXX 250 and MAXX 400 units can play 2 channels of 40 or 50 Mb/s IMX.
• Select File->New from the channel 1 transport window
• Press RECORD to begin recording.
Transferring IMX Content from Image Server to Final Cut PRO
Start Final Cut PRO. Make sure you have installed the Telestream Image Server plug-in.
• Select File->Import->Image Server per Figure 1
