Hi,

 

How was the copy done? If made via SDI it should be good, not perfect as the compression between the 2 formats is different.

I have made copies of 35mm transferred to DigiBeta to DVCAM and then run them through a switcher and split the screen and you cannot tell the difference.

 

(Transfer via SDI, Thomson Broadcast 9200 switcher, DVW-A500, DSR1500A, all new tape, etc.) Now if you want to do some CC with the DVCAM footage that will be a different story. :)

Hi,

 

A lot depends on the shot. Shoot a bicycle wheel turning with a tartan background and you will see the DVcam compression.
