[Peter DeCrescenzo] ” In most cases the cam’s (likely) built-in Firewire & analog component video outputs will suffice.”
…and Black Magic has the new Multibridge that’ll take component analog HD video and convert it to HD-SDI all in one box. It interfaces with both PCI express and PCI-X. It eliminates the need for buying both a component to HD-SDI converter and HD-SDI capture card. They say it’ll be avialable this (northern hemi) summer.

[Barry Green] “What Panasonic has also verified is that you can use an off-the-shelf USB2 drive to dub the contents of a P2 card directly to the drive. You may not be able to capture directly to the drive, but you can dub directly to it (so, no laptop computer necessary, and no firestore-type drive is mandatory in that case; you can shoot to the card and dub it directly to any cheap off-the-shelf USB2 hard disk).”
Thanks for the information. That does answer some of my concerns. However, I have since read more p2 and HVX200 related stuff on the net, but I wasn’t able to find information that verified the cameras ability to dub the contents of a p2 card directly to an off the shelf hard drive. I only see the ability to capture to (computer) hard drive (with driver installed).
Can you link to your source. Thanks.

[Aanarav Sareen] “dual core processors will increase the rendering time “
I think you mean decrease the rendering time (increase rendering speed). At least that is what I got from the OCP review you referred to. In the encoding department the results look very impressive. However I can’t find a a dual core i955X motherboard with more than two PCI express slots. Maybe in the future?

Is the new multibridge (PCI express version) intended to also work with laptop computers with PCI express such as the Hewlett Packard ZD800?

[mike velte] “Digital Video captured via firewire is 4:1:1 “
Just to be clear that firewire is not limited to DV 25 Mbps 4:1:1.
AJA IO (for FCP) does uncompressed 4:2:2 video over firewire. I believe at least one of the Panasonic decks will do 4:2:2 DV50 over firewire.
Convergent Design has a box that WILL soon reportedly do uncompressed 4:2:2 over firewire. Compatible with Premiere.
