24p and 60i footage in the same timeline?

I'm planning to shoot an industrial with the HVX 200 in 720p/24p and will be downconverting the footage in the HVX to DV so that my client can use the footage for another project. That project will be cut on an AVID Adrenaline and my client wants to be able to intercut the DV (24p) footage with archival footage that was shot and imported at 60i. I'm not familiar enough with AVID to know whether this is possible. If it is, how would we do it?

Some expert advice would be very much appreciated.
 
Michael P posted this frame rate conversion workflow a while ago. Not sure how much 60i footage you have though.

Couldn't he capture the 24p footage into a 60i timeline though? If it's being downconverted to SD, wouldn't it be embedded in a 60i stream to begin with?
 
You have an option to set this up as an interlaced or as a progressive project. Interlace at 59.94i, basically a standard NTSC timeline will give you better image quality then the other way around.

Changing interlaced material to 23.98p often results in artifacts.
