Delivery to TV station workflow

Ok, if the HVX200 only records in the DVCpro format then I’m confused.

According to the above posts, Final Cut Pro is capable of editing DVCpro in it’s native format.
The P2 records in the “MXF” format. Is this the native DVCPro file format?

Also,

The only way I have found to import them is through the “Log and Transfer” dialog box, and it shows the “P2 Plug in”, and it states that the format is “P2 AVC-Intra” and it is transcoded to “Prorez 422 HD”.

Some clarification would be helpful.

Native DVCPRO HD is a tape format. Panasonic then developed the P2 technology and a way to encode native DVCPRO HD as an MXF format. So that camera shoots and records….HD…as DVCPRO HD in the MXF file format.

AVCIntra is a different codec from DVCPRO HD. That is a higher end 10-bit codec that is only available on the HPX-3000, and an option on the HXP-2000. That codec doesn’t have native support so it gets transcoded as ProRes or AIC.

DVCPRO HD is imported as DVCPRO HD…can’t transcode to anything else.
