Neo HD in Aspect HD Users at DVinfo.net

Hello.
I been using Aspect Hd and Premier and I'm very happy with the results of these two working together. I'm an owner of A1 and hv20 cameras and recently of the the intensiry card for capturing. I been caturing with the hv20 and A1 with this card and I can tell the the big inprovement over the HDV tape. Also I saw better quality when I capture with the intensity codec uncompress codec in 1920 and compress my final video work to dvd. Even using video originated in HDV tape since I start redering from I Higher resolution(1920x1080). I'm playing with the idea of upgrading to Neo HD.

Now I have the following questions.

1.Can I see a deserved improvement caturing with Neo HD and Intensity on 1920x1080 10bit over the regular Aspect resolution 1440 8bit with my cameras ?
2. Can I have the installation of Neo and Aspect Hd at the same time in my computer?
3.Once you have Neo Hd can I export from premier in 1920x1080 like in Prospect HD?
4. Whould be necessary to go with prospect HD in that case?
5. What would be the gap from Aspect/Neo HD users and Prospect Users.

I just want to make sure wht would be the most convinient upgrade for me.

You would need Prospect in order to process the footage at 1920 wide in a Cineform RT project. Aspect would read the 1920 files, but only process them at 1440. Theoretically with NeoHD, you could edit and export at 1920 in an Adobe native (desktop mode) project, but you lose the realtime acceleration.

Mike is correct.

As for : "1.Can I see a deserved improvement caturing with Neo HD and Intensity on 1920x1080 10bit over the regular Aspect resolution 1440 8bit with my cameras ?"

The 1440 vs 1920 is an improvement. Yet the Canon A1 only places 8-bit data over HDSDI, so there is no 8 vs 10 difference in this case. All our encoders now store 8-bit source as 10-bit anyway. You Prospect HD to have 10-bit in your workflow.
