I have heard HDV footage (from the likes of my Canon XLH1) is not accepted as real HD at large broadcasters/distributors and they only accept perhaps up to 10% of the entire show in HDV.
I'm going to be shooting a Documentary series later in the year and the producer is looking to hopefully distribute to the likes of BBC or Discover and wonder if anyone out there who maybe works, or has worked for a company such as those expand more on this? Specifically, I'm thinking maybe shooting on the Sony EX3 and would that be accepeted as 'real HD'?
I'm sure its pretty much a 'depends-on-a-number-of-various-things' type question. But any light shed on the matter would be appreciated.
Cheers, Kirk
