Re: HDCAM source material on a BMD decklink SD FCP/AE system

One thing to consider, is to contract with a local facility to capture the material for you in HD and place it on your drive of choice to edit on your system locally. Then when done, you can take the drive back and have them output to tape. This is something pretty easy to do as many more full up edit facilities are using FCP, and BM cards. If you are worried about competitors, you can look to a nearby city and go with a non-competive facility.

All in all it can be cheaper than renting a deck.
