If your show is for television with a
possibility of film out, then you really should be shooting 1080/23.98p, not
1080i. Check with HDNet and see if they are *really* that concerned about the frame rate or your camera
origianls, or if they are just making sure that you’re not “uprezzing”
from a format with lower spatial resolution.
I have seen material broadcast on HDNet
that is 24 frame originated and it looked too clean & stable to be a film
transfer.
If you shoot 1080/23.98p, then you can
edit offline 23.98fps or 24fps on Avid, finish 1080/23.98p on your Nitris, and
then do a cross-convert to 1080i for delivery to HDNet. TaDaaa….

Subject: 1080i format question
What are the pros and cons of shooting 1080i on either
DVCPro HD vs CineAlta if the final project will have a film out? The main
use of this is television (HDNet is requiring camera originals to be shot at
1080i) but there will possibly be a film out.
