HVX-200 and Avid, Downcoverting HD
We are about to shoot our first real HD project with our HVX-200s and I was curious what HD recording settings people are using that work well with Media Composer Adrenaline 2.6.2. I will probably catch guff for this, but management wants it shot in HD so we can show off. Then we will downcovert to SD for broadcast. I would like to use 24fps in either 720P Native or 1080I Advanced, but I am having trouble discovering if I can downconvert the project to 480i without any issues. Or would it be more of an advantage to downconvert in the camera first? Anyone out there do anything remotely close to this?

That’s perfectly logical and your prjoect will have longer legs. I would post everything in HD, and then do a final cc output in SD color space. This can be done very easily in FCP with a Kona card, no sure if that version of Avid has real time down convert capability.

I was told by another Avid Editor that it does not have real-time donconvert it is a render.

Then that could be a problem. WIth the proper hardware, I’m sure avid will do a real time down convert.
