10 years ago you would pay more for an SD camera package, NLE and deck than you do now for a comparable HD setup. Most folks (the smart ones) are charging way more for HD than they do for SD (in my market about 50% more on average) and clients are agreeing to these rates without complaint.
Add to this that financing rates are at an all time low and you get higher revenue with lower costs. You also get to differentiate yourself as a high end provider in your market. The only complication is all the providers selling HDV as an HD equivalent but that will work itself out as clients become educated about the formats. Clients still like the “big” camera on the job. Dive in to HD, the water is fine.

Pardon me for being a bit thick Gary. Thanks for the confirmation.

Well Gary, there are lots of other data streams that might be possible (anamorphic DV, letterboxed DV) etc.. I see that the SDI output of this camera is supposed to support HD and SD output so I’m wondering if the same might hold true at the 1394 port.

We haven’t had to call tech support yet. The COW is our first point of reference when we have troubles.
AXIO and PPRO aren’t perfect but I look at the package as first release (even though PPRO is supposed to be legacy software). Therefore we expect growing pains and are not surprised when we encountered things that are, shall we say, counter-intuitive.
If Ron L’s confidence in the Adobe developers is even half true, we should be able to look forward to a highly functional toolset before too long (fingers crossed).

Hmmm, data to a firestore. This might be interesting but it would only be native 100 mbps DVCPRO HD streamed via firewire not MXF, correct?
-
Thanks guys but I will be buying a 1400 series deck for digitizing.
Thinking about workflow in the field. Capturing to a laptop and pre-editing. That sort of thing.
So, the port delivers 100 mbps DVCHD only? Or can it be set for other data streams?

I should say that we love the fact that we can shange the playour settings with such ease when printing to tape (HD / anamorphic / letterbox etc..). This functionality on the AXIO is a real treat!!

We are using PPRO 2.0 and AXIO HD. No problems with 422 control with Betacam UVW1800 although having to stripe tapes prior to assemple editing when printing to tape is a step backwards after the TC functionality of Edit*.

Whats the MSRP of the 1400? Notable features?
