    Tape format is not a big issue, the question is the format (codec) you need to use when capturing and editing and what type of editing are you doing. I can do HD ProRes editing on my MBP but it would be hard to do a 6-camera SD multicam edit on it.

    But you can go a long way with your system and HD ProRes.
