Anyone cutting a Canon XH-A1 in 4:3 SD mode with a DVX100B in 4:3?
If so, can you please post how well the image cut is and/or if there are visible issues that have to be dealt with?
Also, if a workable PRESET solution was found, what are those presets?
Many thanks in advance for those who respond.
BACKGROUND
We recently modified our two production units with one being 100% HD and the other 2nd unit having two DVX100B's, a Sony HVR-Z7U and a Canon XH-A1. However, we have one client who insists on having their program shot in SD 4:3 and for the moment in order to do that we would have to use two DVX100B's and either the Sony HVR-Z7U or Canon XH-A1 and from our DVX100B-HVX200 experiece there will be an image difference and that will turn this client into a monster. Now for logistical reasons (multiple shoots on this clients production days) we'd prefer to use the A1's or we'd just pick up a 3rd DVX100B till their contract runs out in October.

) The Sheila insisted that it be shot in HD although it will be down res'd on the DVD of course to MPEG2 but I'm always accomodating because this is HER day and I do all possible to make it GR8!
