Hi Ken,
I've not done a "high-end" hardware up-conversion of Digital BetaCam to HDCA. I have cut a few Digital BetaCam shots into HD material and was generally pleased with the results. I've also intercut my VariCam footage into 35 MM commercials with total transparency! I must admit that I was surprised; I expected to see something, but we color corrected and added just a bit of "film grain" and we could not spot the cut-in shots. I'm not saying that HD and film are the same, just that we were able to match them in these cases.

It will be interesting to see Sony's new 24p version of Digital BetaCam; it should be spectacular looking. With it's low compression ratio, Digital BetaCam is a fabulous format. The only thing wrong with it is that it doesn't have "HD" in the name! I fear it's a format that has come too late.

Good shooting!
