Wondering whether output to device XDCAM is doable the the settings above. 

Avid version 3.05 doesn't have a 1080p29.97 project setting (even though it has a 1080p25 project setting) and from memory this is the case with 3.5 as well, although I haven't been able to test that. 

Seeing as the output settings in the Output to XDCAM dialogue box appear to be constrained to the format you are running in, straight off the bat I can't even output progressive. Furthermore, it only goes up to 35 Megabits, which falls short of the 50 I need. 

I hope i'm missing something, or that a MC upgrade will solve my problem. Also, I am using the PDW-U1 deck, any problems here?

Thanks in advance, 

Murray
