Oh, it's 10 bit as well. And less than 1/10th the price. HDCAM SR and D5 will, of course, continue to be valuable for program delivery and interchange (and for HDCAM SR, some acquisition) but for the type of purpose you used as an example - there are better alternatives unless you have an HDCAM deck "lying around" :) philip Of course HDCAM isn’t dead, but a Ki Pro will do the same job in native ProRes 422 with full raster (HDCAM is thin raster); full 4:2:2 (which HDCAM is not) and with less compression than HDCAM.

And probably not coming on the balance of probability. Philip No argument from me Brian, but Apple do have a Windows Reader for ProRes, just no way to write it on Windows, sadly.
