can this deck simultaneously down convert to SD out of the SDI and firewire?
need to downconvert to digibeta and dvcam at the same time with matching timecode for offline/conform.

yeah I guess maybe I wasn’t that clear either. the 1400 has both sdi and firewire out.
what I want to know is:
can the deck downconvert a dvcpro hd tape (probably 23.98) to standard def (29.97) out of the sdi to a digibeta AND firewire out to a dvcam deck SIMULTANEOUSLY?

this is because the two downconverted formats must have matching timecode and time/budget restraints will not allow for the dvcam tapes be made from the digibetas SEPARATELY after the fact.
Also it would be necessary for the dvcam to have a visible burn in of both the original hd timecode (23.98) AND the new sd timecode (29.97).
This is of course to be able to offline from the dvcam tapes and finish sd with the digibetas, then also be able to go back to the original dvcpro hd and finish in hd later if required.
