Here in the US, lots of folks shoot 23.98p for 1080 59.94i release.
(I'm not defending "why," just sayin'.)
Since the Z7U records 23.98p with pulldown onto tape, and the Travel
Channel broadcasts 59.94i, one could simply stay native all the way
until the output to HDCam. If one hasn't lots of effects, the HDV
codec won't visibly degrade.
I wouldn't bother with a lo-res SD offline *unless* there's a good
reason, such as:
* A lot of material (by which I mean not dozens or hundreds, but
thousands of hours of tape.)
* Multicam on older CPUs
* Shared storage with lots of clients fighting for bandwidth
On the other hand, why in 2012 would one shoot HDV for broadcast?

He is going to be sending me test tapes next week in the following formats to see what works best, 24p, 30p, 24i and 30i.

I know i really don't understand how the HDV format works, but is it all recorded at 30fps 1080 on the tape, regardless of what frame rate is shot? If someone could simply explain how HDV actually records these different frame rates, i would love it.

>> What types of projects (frame rates) should i be working in when i digitize material for the offline? For the online i would preform an expert decompose, but what project would i be in for the final master? Would it be 1080i, 59.94? I have noticed that the only way to get a 1440x1080 raster is to be in a 1080i, 59.94 project in MC.
