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.
I answer:
XDCAM50 is what we use to record all incoming feeds to ISIS for the very reason you cite. Its files are one third the size of DNxHD145, but still very high quality. In fact, you can't visually tell the difference. We have to video-mixdown the media to DNxHD145 in order to file-transfer edited sequences to on-air playback rooms because that's the file format the players use.
