Re: [Avid-L2] "What are you grading this week 2013?", survey results.

What about XDCAM? When we were delivering to NBC a couple of years ago,
everyone was delivering XDCAM 50mbit QTs because they were having us
deliver the digital masters over the Internet. Prores just took way too
long to upload. We could have literally driven back and forth between our
building and the NBC building 200 times before the prores files would be
uploaded.
