Hi. I do not see any problem capturing from SDI to your card. Make sure that in your capture settings you specify SDI to 8 bit uncompressed and you will be working in the same compression of your project. Audio should be embedded as long as you use the correct imput. Do not use EBU audio use the other one.

I hope it helps

peace

Thank you Kevin.
A few things I didn’t mention.
It was shot in Super 35, some of the footage will be video eng from news sources. The facility in which the film will be finished will go to a digital intermediate on HD at 23.98.
I was aked to cut it in this frame rate to eliminate ghost fields and to be certain that I am true to the keycodes.
They also mentioned to go for the 29.98 route when editing but to be careful as not ot include ghost fields in the edit for an accurate film match.
I have decided to go the 29.98 route so my director is stress-less when we edit and then do the conversion (reverse transfer) to the locked edit.

Again, thanks for your advice.

peace
