HDV
Is downconverted HDV better than DV?
Customer about to shoot project on z1 and some digibeta,
final master will be digibeta sd 16.9pal,
on line on symphony nitris.Should customer shoot dv, then load sd sdi off dsr deck
or
shoot hdv and then use dsr deck to downconvert to sd sdi.
I could work hd project within nitris and load hd off dsr but since I’m using more digibeta sd footage and delivering sd I don’t see the point.

HDV but you can set it up in the camera to letterbox it for ya as you record. If ya dont wanna be marred to that, you can often set it up to convert your animorphic video to a letterbox upon playback, as you capture. These two ways will keep ya from waisting a resize effect on a layer.
HDV is much more crisp than DV. In the SDI world, it’s squeezing 1080 down. Like whan ya scale somthing up past 100% it gets all muchy? Oppositeprincipal apples… it get more crisp as ya shrink it.
FWIW, I work on an on-going documentary and I shoot it with an FX1 in 720 HDV. No need to shoot it in 1080 as I spit DVDs out as letterboxed sdi. I havn’t the hardware to handle real HDV anyway.
