Re: the big question left in the P2 flow

[jeremiah black] "how do we master that out to DVCPROHD tape? 1080/24p isn't supported by any Panasonic DVCPROHD decks. Is Pansonic releasing new decks?"

I'd be shocked if we saw a new deck that recorded 1080/24P.
I mean, what would it cost? The lease expensive DVCProHD deck right now is still a bit over 20 grand.

My best guess right now is that you would have to master out to another format. Of course you wouldn't want to go to HDCam at that point, and lose color information. You could go HD-SR.

You're right, it is a bit of a problem.
But then again, considering where we were a year ago, these are good problems to have.

Hopefully Jan can chime in on this one, and give us a good indicator of what they see as the workflow for the unexpected 1080/24P that everyone is so excited about.
