panasonic 1200 DVCPro HD deck with dual 2.0 pci-x G5 w/ raided 2 drive SATA array
hey ive got a rental/capture coming up, with a panasonic 1200 DVCPro HD deck with dual 2.0 pci-x G5 w/ raided 2 drive SATA array. the computer has 2.5 gb of ram, running the latest final cut pro 5.
i am planning on using the firewire out of the deck. is it as simple as easy set-ups in FCP and capture. the footage is 60i, xferred from an hdcam. are there any lurking variables? if i have to i will create another user account if it gets wierd, but am i overlooking anything. the rental is a little money and im hoping for no unexpected surprises.
also, does Decklink have realtime playback of DVC pro HD, and is it decent?
anyone used a set-up like this? chime in. should i master out of AE as full HD for a facility to run out to SD, or should i just capture DVCPro HD, keep that as my native format, and then give the facility the downconverted SD file from a FCP export as blackmagic or apple 10bit?
thanks

just got the rented panasonic 1200 deck back to the rental house, literally hours after getting it. everything went just as planned. there is always worry that the marketing hyperbole is just that and up and leaves a bunch of asterisks when it comes to real work being done.
great deck. now if there can be a definitive solution to this BMD luma shift issue. thats been bugging the hell out of me on 10 bit SD projects.

is the shift in DVCPro HD also? Or just in 10bit SD?
