OK, agreed. The panasonic D5 HD is a 4:2:2 (YUV) colorspace system and it is compressed 4:1 (360 Mb data to tape).

We were considering using the new sony HDCAM-SR, which is capable of recording to tape at 4:4:4 (RGB). This deck is capable of 593 Mbps which on 4:2:2 colorspace represents about 2.7:1 compression. on 4:4:4 is more keen to 4:1 compression.

that is why we were considering transfering ourmaterial to HDCAM-SR 4:4:4 and taking it from there to create a DI.

Since we won’t be cutting back and forth between scaneed material and unprocessed film, i Don’t think the diference would be easy to apreciate.

Any thoughts?

Thanx
