dvcpro50

Regarding this dvcpro50 format that offers 4.2.2 sampling, is it recorded to tape or p2?

P2

Dang it! this is not a perfect world is it...

so I understand that the p2 captures 8-20 minutes of high def, how about dvcpro50? how many minutes?

 

[Barry_Green]

One 8gb card can capture 8 minutes of 1080 or 20 minutes of 720/24p. That same card can capture 16 minutes of DVCPRO50.

How about if you shoot dvcpro50 at 24p or is that even possible?

 

[Barry_Green]

It is possible, but it doesn't give you a different data rate. The 24p DVCPRO50 is handled the same way as 24p DV and 1080/24p -- it's recorded within the 60i data stream, so it takes up the same amount of space. DVCPRO50 is always 50 megabits.
