Thanks so much for the responses, but what I was really was trying to determine is if there will be a PRICE DROP in the existing AJ-SPX800 P2 camera? It started out at $19,500.00 over a year ago and I don’t think it has sold all that well so I was hoping there might be some special incentives coming out (like a $4000 rebate) to help move the camera.

I’m aware of the Thomson Infinity Camcorder and can get that for between $30K-$35K with Fujinon HD lens (HAs18X7.6RM) included at NAB 2006, when my dealer will be accepting hard orders for this camera.

I would be willing to spend up to $35K for a complete HD solution in 2/3″ chips that uses some form of solid state storage wether it be HDD, REV Disc, Blu-ray Disc or P2. But it definitely needs to provide 720 or 1080 at 24p and shoot some form of DV25 for non HD assignments.

Read this.

The serial digital interface, SMPTE 292M[1], defines a universal medium of interchange for uncompressed HDTV between various types of video equipment (camera’s, encoders, VTRs, …) at data rates of 1.485Gb/s (and 1.485/1.001 Gb/s). Source formats transfered by SMPTE 292M are SMPTE 260M, 295M, 274M and 296M. Source data for these formats are 10-bit words, sampled at 4:2:2. In this memo we specify how to transfer SMPTE 292M over RTP.

I think there are actual HD standard NOT relative standards. If you have the ability to output 4:2:2 HD-SDI you are consistent with the SMPTE 292M broadcast standard.
