HDV workflow for Broadcast (PAL) with Decklink Extreme
Hi,
I’m currently cutting a couple of 1/2 hour docs. for SD broadcast on FCP 5. Both were shot on a Sony HDV camcorder but will be delivered SD 16:9 anamorphic Digibeta.
What’s the best workflow. Do I capture HDV, edit HDV and record direct from the SDI output of the Extreme (i.e is the downconversion good enough quality?) or do I need to render at the very end?
Or perhaps I’m better off capturing SD component or DV ?
Any help appreciated.

I was really hoping someone would answer this as I’m about to do a similar thing. I was planing to capture directly to uncompressed SD (not sure whether to use 8 or 10 bit.) I don’t have the HDV deck, but I understand it live downconverts to SD. I also understand it has component outputs, but I don’t know if these are SD (can’t be hd can they?)
I’ll try making a new post and see if anyone bites.
Will
