Hello Joseph and David,
Wow. Thank you both for your very generous replies. This information is very helpful indeed.

The flashing light striping effect insight is something I was unaware of. Okay, so please excuse further naïveté, but by transcode do you mean taking the hvx p2 footage and transcoding it into a pro res codec or is this act of initial import? Because the source media right after import has all of these artifacts. I am unable to post a video sample at the moment but will put a sample up later. The video was shot in a low light banquet hall.

What is interesting is that footage of the same event was shot on a 7D and a Canon XL H1 and the footage from those cameras shows no such artifacts and striping.

As far as the 1080i 30p informationChristopher O’Brien
This is what the FCP format setting information tells me. Any other thoughts from you gentlemen would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again for your help.

Regards,
Chris
