  Will it do 50i/25p and 60i/30p codec as well as Varicam codec?

  Anyone know if the 200 will do the other DVCPROHD codecs (50i/25p and 60i/30p)? These have more pixels than Varicam.

  (SMPTE 274M) 60i records 1280 x 1080 pixels in Y channel. This is better than 720 x 960 for Varicam.
  The other flavour of (SMPTE 274M) is the 50i/25p this does 1440 x1080, even better than 60i.

  The 200 looks like it does the SMPTE 274 at 1080i 60 but I haven’t seen SMPTE 274 in print yet.

  But even better for those of us in 25p land and for those worldwide, willing to shoot 25p for theatrical film release is the 50i version of the SMPTE, 1440×1080 pixels in Y and 720×1080 pixels in R-Y and B-Y.
  This is good albeit with 6:1 compression to tape.

  All the best for the new year everyone!
