Thanks Gary,
My guess is that since there’s (up until very recently) not much 720p happening in Toronto, relative to 1080i (primarily HDCAM) most of the post houses will prefer to capture from the 1400 deck at 1080i, likely via HDSDI. One post house in the running does indeed have a Nitris.
My main concern was re the pulldown, and any problems at the conform/gfx level if it was left in the whole way through.
Thanks again for such a speedy reply.
Scott
