XLH1 import questions

[Brian A. Levin]

Hello, I'm DP-ing a short mid-January. We're using a Canon XLH1 with the Mini35 adapter and a nice prime set of Zeiss Ultra Speeds. I've worked with the Mini35 before, liked it, but have no worked with the Canon XLH1. My understanding is that it's the exact same as a Canon XL2, except that now we're shooting HDV. What protocols will I have to follow in terms of importing this footage? Although I won't be editing the piece, I'd like to be able to have a lot of research ready to go for the director and the editor prior to production so that we can possibly import nightly and run dailies over lunch the next day. Any advice? Preferred edit system is in Final Cut Pro, but so long as they can export an EDL I'm happy.
