No you shoot and record to SR tape or straight to file server and don't go near HDCam compression etc.
Dermot or Rupert might have more to say on exact work flows available.

I think is possible, but I do not have a 4:4:4 capturing board, so the question is, the SDI video output of the SR machine, is better than the 3:1:1 of the HDCAM?
If we talk in pixels samples per channel, the HDCAM is 1440:480:480 is the SR SDI any better?? Or you get better info only if you capture to DPX files??

Intensive keying - any chance of them stretching to SR?

Hi! I need to know what you people think about this....
I've read that HDCAM is 3:1:1 http://hd24.com/compression_numbers.htm
And the DVCPRO HD is 4:2:2 ....
So the question is source footage is going to be HD, but final product SD, intensive keying in the project. What format I should go???? HDCAM or DVCPRO HD??
Any suggestion? Another format???
Please help... help .. help...
Thanks
