Record 1080p on the HVX200?

I'm new to the HVX200 and was reading about how to record in 1080p, not 1080i. An article right here on this very web site says that it can be done. [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The HVX200 supports everything the other cameras do, and much more. It supports both 1080i and 720p, and also 1080p (utilizing 2:3 or 2:3:3:2 pulldown within the 1080i recording, similar to how the DVX and XL2 implement 24p and 30p). Anyone know what they mean [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]utilizing 2:3 or 2:3:3:2 pulldown within the 1080i recording? How is this accomplished? I am recording to the Firestore FS-100-160 and then editing on a PC utilizing Premiere.

I've been searching for six days, but all I found is that one article. Could you point me to a specific link or group of links that go into detail on this issue?
 
1080p is the ONLY recording format the HVX200 does.

Everything else will be internaly scaled/pulled down before going to Tape/P2/Firestore

In the case of 1080i for example it will be wrapped in to a 1080i stream, but actualy it is still progressive.

Well, *sort of* correct. The images *generated* in the camera--not recorded--are all 1920 x 1080 progressive. It's at the recording step of the process where things change. 1080 recordings are scaled to 1280 x 1080; 720 recordings are scaled to 960 x 720; 480 recordings are scaled to 720 x 480. If the camera is set up for interlaced recording, then the progressive images are "sliced up" (that's my way of conceptualizing it) to create an interlaced recording, with pulldown being added as necessary depending on the frame rate chosen.
 
And don't let the nomenclature on the HVX menu system mislead you (as it has others). Although it may say, for example, 1080i/30p, it's not interlaced. It's 1080/30 - all progressive.
