I do plan once I've transcoded to DNX220 to then transcode again to a lower rez for offline. I figure that will work and I can give the DNX220 to the online folks. I will for the sake of learning see if I can get the ama relink to work. I know it should and I've had success in the past but usually I don't have control of the start to finish offline workflow.
