Thanks Tim I was wondering about that I will need
to look at it and see if it is better than the hardware conversion happening on
playout or is that also happening in software. The box does seem a little
snappier with the intermediate codec though so maybe the upres to 1920 is also
in software mm?
Any more ideas lets here them.

P.s. Tony just looked at a piece rendered in
HDV50 with grades an subtitles live grabbed in DS and it looks amazing,
take a bow fruit machine I'm not easily impressed.

HDV
The reason the screen is bigger during intermediate
capture is because it is stretching the screen from 1440 to 1980 in
width upon capture into the intermediate codec. This way, it is not
having to do the up-rez on the fly during editing and
output.

Hi Tony I have tried both the Apple
intermediate codec which for some reason when you capture has a bigger
window on your screen than the native HDV codec. I don't know if that is
significant. There appears to be no difference maybe you know more about
that one. As for what does it look like if the exposure is good then the
pictures are pretty good but there is not much margin for error when
shooting. Its as sharp as digibeta up-resed on an m2000/p with out the
aliasing issues the 50i looks better than the 25p. The 25p smears on
movement (Like film with the shutter at180 degrees) I don't know if you can
control that on either the domestic or "semi professional"
camera.
Conclusion: using FCP to conform HDV and then
play straight to DS Via HDSDI is not a bad way to go. No machine control
issues no audio issues and you won't need to transfer the source timecode to
DS just an EDL to show you where the breaks are. Think of it as a really
smart VTR (I feel an Apple lashing comming on). I am finishing the feature I
am doing on FCP and I plan to do another version through DS time permitting
to compare the result of the two work-flows.
Contact me off list if you want more
detail.
