Yes it’s true that MPEG2 is 8-bit, but as I said above, the 10-bit will help with editing your master if you have graduations, big chroma/gamma shifts and blurs or even transcoding/dubbing. Compromised masters often lead to compromised dubs or exports. Commercials get compressed again from the 15mbs delivery version, and can look pretty shitty on some stations. Still we’ve got to try for the best, haven’t we? 😉
I send all my masters to Dubsat via 15mbs MP@ML. I’ll have to investigate 422@ML. I couldn’t see any options in Procoder.
