Thanks all. I ran your feedback to the facility. The
sales/scheduling person seemed to think that SD Adrenaline
effectively downconverts during ingest, that's no good.

In my limited experience (on my MC 2.7 which handles HD but does't
monitor HD) I can ingest HD after setting the Proj setting to HD.
Then if I wanted to be able to monitor SD video, I'd have to switch
the proj to SD. In this workflow is that I have not "stepped-on" the
HD footage and compromised it's quality. I can always switch back to
HD and export a Quicktime where my blow-ups will look fine once the
Qt has been downconverted to NTSC.
