    I’ve been hearing interesting things about Cineform Prospect – which enables you to capture in HDV as 10-bit instead of 8-bit, and also captures as 1920 instead of 1440.
    The advantage of being able to work with HDV on a 10-bit timeline (without having to render every time I change something) appeals.

    Will this be possible using the unreleased Multibridge?

    Hi Robin,

    Yes, you can already achieve this with the existing Multibridge and will also be able to do it with the new Multibridges. Please see the support note How to achieve maximum quality with HDV cameras. The Multibridge will take the component HD output of the HDV camera and digitize it in to HD-SDI which you can capture as 10-bit uncompressed if you like. The support note documents when this will achieve greater quality than Firewire and when it will not so please review the note and let me know if you have any further questions.

    Regards,
