>and why it costs about $5,000 to get an nVidia SDI output card.
And a new PC. I don't remember any Quadro cards with SDI outputs being available on Mac.
This sure is interesting!

>All Exports / Render to another coded are performed by Adobe Media Encoder. The interface pops up on top of Premiere Pro.
Not necessarily. I'm "rendering" QT movies in ProRes LT. It creates QT movies with ProRes LT files. They even have timecode tracks based on sequence timecode where I render the clips. Why Premiere cannot "read" QT timecode, trim the clips and spit out a bunch of QTs that Premiere is able to link back to, beats me.

I think the scales are tipping more towards DNxHD in this realm, since it's Avid friendly, works well on Mac and PC and does about the same thing as ProRes. Personally I'm happy with ProRes, but there are calls for a new codec that's specifically Adobe, to go with the suite. I'm in two minds about that. More codecs? Yeah, thanks.

For ProRes, firstly, it is quite Avid friendly in MC6 (you can consolidate it into ProRes MXF without transcoding on Macs), secondly, the decoder is already installed on any machines with QT, and thirdly, ProRes is resolution agnostic.
DNxHD on the other hand, is requires the installation of the Avid QT codec package, but of course, that is free.

And DNxHD is supposed to be Open Source. It's sort of Open Source, whereas ProRes is owned by Apple.
Like I said, I prefer ProRes. I'm just saying the conversation seems to be swaying towards DNxHD being the codec of choice for these kind of jobs.

DNxHD is a proprietary Avid format. True that the cameras are starting to adopt DNxHD.

Yeah, it seems to be owned by Avid but be open source. So.. for now it's Open Source, I guess? That's why I said it was sort of open.

Ive alraeady switched to DNxHD for mastering. The less I have to deal with crApple, the better.

I'm not saying specifically ProRes, but any QT format, eg. 1:1 / 10 bit Uncompressed 4:2:2 / v210, 8 bit Uncompressed, Animation, AJA 10 bit Log. In FCP, you can pretty much media manage to anything you want including mpeg4 in a QT wrapper. I don't think there is too much difference here, because when you choose to create preview files in Quicktime (and I think you can do that on a PC), it essentially does that.
Getting the software to add handles and add a timecode track to the "preview" QT movies and linking everything to a Premiere project (and subsequently xml or aaf) should only be one step away from that.

Prores is actually the new kid on the block. DNxHD is old. It's so old that it is mainly 8 bits with the exception of the formats annotated with "x", which are 10 bits. It is also not resolution agnostic.

It's old and it's already open source. You can get the source and do what you like with it, without having to pay a licensing fee.
