    If you have Adrenaline HD [version 2 on the PC], you can edit DVC Pro HD 24p at its native format – which to be accurate is actually 23.976 and NOT 24p.

    You can digest it either via seperate firewire card [NOT the one in the Adrenaline] or use SDI.

    If you want the best quality and have the space for it – I would SDI it via 10 bit in a 23.976 project setting.

    If you have MC 12 [and I think the later versions of MC 11] – you ingest it via SDI in a 23.976 project setting.

    Adrenaline or Meridien MC both have multicam capabilities.

    Ok so I havent started anything yet but what your saying is, when I start the show which will be on an MC vers12 select 24p as the project setting or what ever it’s called (i have not seen one done yet) and as far as the multi cam stuff just select the clips I want to group and just select group clips. we are brining it in component because I have to lift the blacks for the color correct, but otherwise every thing is the same.

    On a Meridian based system, you will want to select 23.976p as the project type. Also, working in 24p or 23.976p will require that the material was shot with NORMAL pulldown. You also need to work in an “m” resolution to get real time play for multicam playback.
