Hi Walter,
I do not work with DVCProHD, but to my knowledge, is NOT Anamorphic.

They don’t call it anamorphic but it is. 1440×1080 is 4:3 but displays as widescreen 1920×1080.
All the best,

Hi Walter,
I do not work with DVCProHD, but to my knowledge, is NOT Anamorphic.
Rafael”HDV, HDCAM and DVCPro HD all shoot 1440×1080. This is an anamorphic version of 1920 x 1080. Yes, this is, and always has been, an anamorphic format.

You are right Tom. 1440 x 1080 HD pixels is the same frame than 1920 x 1080 Squared pixels.
What I pointed is that neither the clips, nor the sequence can be checked as Anamorphic.

[Rafael Amador] “1440 x 1080 HD pixels is the same frame than 1920 x 1080 Squared pixels.

This is the same as 720p being shot at 960×720 in the camera. It’s an anamorphic format. But you don’t have an “anamorphic” switch in FCP because it’s an automatic stretch to 16:9
But in both cases, 1440×1080 and 960×720, the formats are anamorphic.

Sorry Walter, you are mistaking Anamorphic for 16 x 9.
Anamorphic is way of scanning and display.
All the formats that have an Anamorphic option, is because they have an No-Anamorphic too.
In those formats you mention there is not a No-Anamorphic option. They don’t have two shooting options.
These formats are 16 x 9 because use HD pixels.
Anamorphic don’t has reason to be even mentioned nowhere.
BTW DVCProHD p30 is 1280 x 1080, no 1440 x 1080.

Ok… I know I shouldn’t do this, but I need to…
Walter, technically speaking 1440×1080 and 960×720 are not anamorphic formats, they are pixel scaled formats. AJA and every one else uses pixel scaling to translate the media from 1440×1080 to 1920×1080 and the same holds true for 960×720 scaled to 1280×720.
Using the term anamorphic is not proper in this case. Now, when your talking about aspect ratios like 2.1:1 or 2.35:1, yes, they are usually described as anamorphic. The term anamorphic is referred to as aspect ratios other than 4:3 and 16:9, not pixel scaling as in this case. Just ask someone at AJA about this.
Its kinda like the difference between megabits/sec and megabytes/sec.

Elaborate please.
Is not anamorphic just widescreen picture squeezed 33% horizontally to fit in a 486 frame size? Ignore HD for the time being.Joey
