This brings up something i've been interested in but have never been able to find out any solid information on, even from Sony. There is an SDTi interface card for HDW2000 HDCAM machines which supposedly circumvents the HDCAM compression and just takes a data stream or some such from one deck to the other without any generational loss. Does anyone know about or use this card for dubs or it's proper usage? Any source of information would be lovely. Maybe that might help you out too John?
Cheers,
Andi

It's a moot point now I'm going to output to SR and we will keep that master in house for future re purposing. Since it's a comedy special I figure the lack of generation loss will make it even funnier. I've always felt bandwidth and comic impact are directly proportional. ;-)

I've got a show shot on HDCam that will be closed captioned adding an extra generation. I prefer to output the edit master to HDCamSr and send that off as the source for the closed captioning dub to HDCam. Just curious if I'm being to anal about this. Anybody got any opinion on 3rd generation HDCam which would be the air master if I output to HDCam for the edit master before captioning?
