    I am trying to work out the best workflow for a client who is shooting on HD CAM. The plan is to digitise the 30 hours of rushes via a Blackmagic HD card to DVC ProHD, to edit on DVC ProHD and when finished to lay straight back to HDCAM rather than reconform.

    What should I be looking out for? – Its all 50i and there are alot of graphics and time remaps. Is this a good solution. How does DVC ProHD bump up to HDCAM?

    Thanks

    I can tell you that using the Kona 2 to capture uncompressed HD to DVCPro HD works flawlessly. And then I can master right out to HDCAM via HD-SDI so it’s a very very clean workflow.

    Im’ sure it’s similar on the Blackmagic card.

    In our facility, DVCProHD and HDCAM do seem to play well together.

    [Sean Davison] “no frame size issues?”

    nope.

    not really sure what you’re asking here. I don’t see anything like that with the Kona 2.
