NO
But the additional add on to do DPX files is a very big deal for the film community.

[Shane Ross] “24PA runs at 23.98, and that needs to be captured using the Advanced Pulldown option…but can still be played out of any camera or deck that plays back DVCAM.”
All 24(p or A) frame content plays at 23.98, unless you are working @24.O ( which you should not)
properly rev-telecine’d 24p footage ( w/ the standard 3:2 pulldown) will still carry the 29.97 TC but the footage needs to be played in a 23.98 (23.976) timeline.
There is a Easy set up for Using with Cinema tools to extract the proper frames called “Cinema Tools – 23.98fps from DV NTSC” in the “Additional Easy Setup’s” folder

[KingCut] “Anyhow, I’d love some real world feedback on HDCAM to Qrez, and spitting back out to HDCAM. They shot 108O @ 24fps. Will we start getting compression artifacts to master? what about noise in the blacks (it’s a rock show). Any major pitfalls or redflags? “
King
if your using a k2 card you can create a new seq and digitize directly from HDCam to DV25 for your offline. you can do this as either letterbox or as anamorphic depending on your preference. This maintains the TC accurately as opposed to transcoding or doing p-jpeg.
This way it does not require the hardware for qrez to installed on your edit station.( ie laptop)gary adcock
