Re: DVCPro HD ingest via Firewire better than HD SDI?

I think it depends more on what you have your timeline set for. If you plan on just cutting in DVCPRO HD, then the Firewire route is more direct. If you are bringing in DVCPRO HD into an uncompressed or ProRes timeline, then the SDI route would (could) directly transcode your footage to the native format. It also depends on what your deliverables are meant to be and if you are doing graphics. If you had to transcode your HD graphics to DVCPRO HD there would be a fair amount of loss from going to that compressed format

At my station, we shoot in the field with a Panasonic P2 HD camera. Our output timeline is normally ProRes HD. All of that P2 ingest has to be rendered.

If you have the option to do SDI ingest, it can save you time on the renders.
