Firestore will have a product that does that soon. No need for P2 then.

Just use a DV deck to convert your video to S-video – no magic card needed.

25p is easily embedded in 50i with no work from you. You’ll see that it still looks progressive, just recorded in an interlaced stream. Nothing to worry about.

No, just a hard drive. Once you’ve shot, the camera will dump the card to a drive without a computer in-between. The only thing you can’t do is shoot “live” to a drive, without something like a firestore.

Because of the use of pixelshift, which increases luma by taking away chroma rez, there never is a 4:4:4 RGB signal.

Well, the idea is that it saves you $22k in not needing to buy a DVCProHD deck, and a similar cost of not needing a deck in the camera. Basically, you take hard drives with you and dump the cards from the camerea to the drive when they fill up.

You can output 4:2:2 but you can’t record it to BetaSP. BetaSP is an old analogue format that is not good enough to record a 4:2:2 signal. BetaSP has about 3/4 the luma rez of your DVCAM, so you’re just dropping quality mastering to it. Now, if you master to DigiBeta, that’s a different kettle of fish, and indeed, for SD, is the best format to master too.

There’s one built in, but it’s only “ok”. THere are many 3rd party and free ones. I have about 5 different ones in my Film Effects package – each suited for different needs, but the best of the 5 is called “G Smart Deinterlace” and that keeps the quality as high as possible.

Ideally 500+ is what you need to see all that DV and SD has to offer, but I don’t think seeing resolution is the key thing for basic monitoring, just colour and interlacing which is what you don’t get from your computer monitor.
