I'm worry about the Final Cut 'condition'; why can´t we finish on Avid?
We got a bunch of XDCams in where I work back in December, but have done very little shooting on them because All our editing is done on Avid. For some reason, Sony's Professional Disc decks have issues with Avid. I don't know the specifics, but apparently right now the only way to import the footage is to buy some other device that costs a few thousand dollars to correct the problem, or transfer all the footage to tape, which completely defeats the purpose of us trying to convert to tapeless. Also, I don't know if this is the case with all versions of Avid, but it is with Avid DS.

When reused disks is natural to thinking about the 'loose of the originals', but always it exist the backup´s in hard drives stored with the same quality, or not? Maybe to go back to the originals is impossible but in some cases is unnecessary.
Yeah, I know, I was just saying that some people like the security of having the original tapes to go back to.

When you export to the hard drive you creat a low-res files to start an off-line work, so this is a true practical application.
The feature I was saying might be impractical was the basic editing software built into the camera. You can actually start to cut together your footage in the camera itself.

In another wise, I want to know all about Progresive stuff, Prime lenses for XDCam´s, 'gamma controls' and different kinds of color samplings.
The cameras can shoot 60i, 30p, and 23.97p in high def. As far as prime lenses, you should be able to use any kind of HD lens as long as it has the right mount, and is for 1/2' cameras (you can also get an adapter to use 2/3" lenses). I haven't really used any of the gamma controls, so I can't help you much there.

With that generation of XD, can´t we make Chroma Key control?
Supposedly because of the 4:2:0 color sampling, you can't get a good key to do chroma keying. Of course, we haven't actually been able to test this, because we can't get the footage into Avid.

In some HDV´s it exist CINELIKE funtion: what's means?
Could mean one of two things. Either it's just letting you shoot progressive (the cannon XL1 was like that. if you set it to shoot cine-like, it meant you were shooting 30p), or it's letting you shoot 24p

The multi-matrix features is only a quality of another kind of broadcast cameras?
The multi-matrix is a feature of some of Sony's DigiBeta cameras that allows you to fine-tune the colors. 3CCD cameras have a prism that splits the light into red, green, and blue light, and each chip records the information for that color. However, the prism doesn't split it perfectly, so some light from the other two colors can leak onto the chips it's not supposed to. The multi-matrix allows you to make color adjustments to control some of the light leak.
