[QuadList] 15,000 hours of quad tape to be transfered

[C. Park Seward]

So what format would you transfer to? With more and more HD, would you  
pick an HD format and upconvert? HDV would be cheap. Or would you  
stick with a "standard" SD format like DigiBeta or use a cheaper  
digital format (remember the cost of 15,000 new tapes) like DVCAM or  
DVCPRO?

As you know, the luminance resolution of DVCAM and DigiBeta is the  
same: 6 MHz. HDV could be used since you aren't going to edit, just  
playback.

Best,
Park
