I believe you have good list of equipment there. Don't forget to have plenty of storage. I'd say greater than 4T depending on how many project you work on at a time. You'll need a good HD monitor as well. Check with Sony, but I think their encoder is hardware based. Here are the specs from Sonic

I'd go for Cinevision if you have budget.
Also think about Sony's spec verification software. Sony should be the people you need to be talking with. Their support is wonderful and they'll give you the details on the right equipment.
