We have a 60K archiving solution from rimage that takes P2 cards directly and writes to blu-ray, however I would not recommend anybody to use blu-ray as an archiving solution. (we never used the system for that, duplication only).

Hard Drive based Raid-1 solutions with a LTO/VXA back up is the best way IMHO.

Yes, I had forgotten the option existed under DVCPROHD only, but dont forget you will be recording 8 bit with DVCPROHD vs. 10bit with AVC-I.

Both are 4:2:2 in-case you want to do green screen work except for AVC-I 50 is 4:2:0.

Either 24P or 24PA will give you non-native 24p timeline in the editor. The “A” stands for Advanced Pulldown created by panasonic. It is a cleaner process compared (3:2:2:3) to the standard pulldown,when the output is intended to for it to go back to 24p native out.

Good luck with your shoot.

When you client is asking for 1080i, non-native 24p he wants to have a 60i format with a 3:2 pulldown from 24p in the camera.

So you format option should be:

In the 2700:
system mode: 1080/59.94i
rec format: AVC-I 50/24P (not 24PN)

In the 300:
system mode: 1080/59.94i
rec format: AVC-I 50/24p

PS: you should also check if your client wants AVC-I 50 or AVC-I 100.
