Karim,
This is good info. Thanks for posting. And glad you are considering a
30 fps timeline for 720. This would help loads for integration with
DaVinci color corrections systems.
Also consider the need to allow for finer control of Play bias in the
current 60 fps (or future 30 fps 720) world. I have found myself
needing to slip capture of the video by 1 frame in 60 (1field in 30) and
this is currently not possible.
Thanks,
Jef

>Just to clarify things a bit about this 720p format: All decks still run at 30fps, standard SMPTE timecode, while set in 720p. The DS timeline ruler is set at 60fps, because that is what the media is made of (60 different, progressive frames). We are aware of the request to switch it to 30fps.
