  Re: DVCPRO format
I use all the panasonic "broadcast" dvcpro decks and there is no improvement in speed from a sony 5800.
DVCpro image quality is marginally better than dvcam.
What some broadcasters have used as the criteria for choosing dvcpro is the 1/100th of a fraction difference in a couple of the format specs which happens to make it fall within FCC guidelines for the illusive "broadcast quality".

 DV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DVCPRO has no "S-size", but an additional "M-size" as well as an "XL-size" for use with DVCPRO HD VTRs.
DVCPRO HD downsamples native 720p/1080i signals to a lower resolution.
DVCPRO cassettes are always labeled with a pair of run times, the smaller of the two being the capacity for DVCPRO50.

 Advantages of DVCPRO
DVCPRO is expanding under one seamless compatibility both horizontally, with many new model variations, and vertically, with several classes of specification formats.
DVCPRO's compact cassettes and long recording time reduces the burden on news gathering crews in the field, while in the studio the smaller cassettes require less space for storage and archiving.
DVCPRO camera/recorders are now available in 1/3-inch, 1/2-inch and 2/3-inch models, and a dockable recorder and field recorder are also available.

 DVCPRO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
From broadcast to corporate, from education to government, Panasonic´s DVCPRO format is leading the way to the digital future.
DVCPRO dramatically lowers the cost of maintenance and operations compared to traditional analog formats (and even older digital formats).
DVCPRO is the only recording system extensible from PAL to High Definition within the same video format.

Even with the larger track pitch, DVCPRO's ultra compact cassette still allows ENG camcorders to capture more than an hour on a single field tape; the larger cassette (still very small in comparison to a VHS or Betacam cassette) captures over two hours for studio VTR and general purpose camcorders.
While DVCPRO is a component video format, it may well be used in a composite video environment, making color framing a significant issue.
Direct transmission of compressed DVCPRO signals would require a formatter to adapt the data stream to the requirements of the DS-3 standard, as would be true of any other sub-45 Mb/s compressed DVTR format, including Betacam SX.

 Video recording formats
DVCPRO is a professional variant of the DV by Panasonic.
Actually Panasonic has announced that their upcoming DVCPRO gear will be able to play back DVCAM recordings; according to Panasonic, this will only require reprogramming the capstan servo systems to accomodate for the slightly different track width (15 um in DVCAM vs. 18 um in DVCPRO) and therefore different tape speed.
Here's a catch - if you dub between PAL DVCPRO and one of the other formats, you'll end up with the worst from both worlds: a 4:1:0 sampled image, where both vertical and horizontal colour resolutions are only half of the conventional broadcast quality 4:2:2 sampling.

 The DV, DVCAM, & DVCPRO Formats -- tech details, FAQ, and links.
DVCPRO also adds a longitudinal analog audio cue track and a control track to improve editing performance and user-friendliness in linear editing operations.
Thus PAL DVCPRO decks have the pleasure and responsibility of handling both 4:1:1 DVCPRO playback and 4:2:0 DV playback; they have extra hardware to digitally resample the 4:2:0 signal and come up with a decently synthesized 4:1:1.
The modern-day DVCAM DSR-60/80/85 and DVCPRO AJ-D6XX/7XX decks have this option built-in, allowing these VTRs to be used with editors that are expecting a noisy, distorted analog timecode and don't want nice, clean, serialized timecode data handed to them on a silver platter...

DVCPRO P2 (P2 is short form for "Professional Plug-In") is a professional digital video format introduced by Panasonic in 2004, and especially tailored to ENG applications.
DVCPRO HD recording on P2 is possible with the Panasonic AG-HVX200.
Since the memory capacity of the P2 card is relatively low (as of January 2006, 2GB [4×512MB cards], 4GB [4×1GB SD cards] and 8GB [4×2GB SD cards] cards are available), cameras, decks and drives have multiple slots, with the ability to span the recording over all slots.

DVCPRO are intended to bring this technology to market early, it is clear that the parent technology should ultimately prevail.
DVCPRO 50 offers full 4:2:2 detail with an even lower compression ratio than DVCPRO (3.3:1 instead of 5:1) by doubling the recorded bit rate to 50 Mb/s, while still using the same mass-market compression chips, and still playing DVCPRO.
The macroblocks in the DV 422 dual 2:1:1 compression streams of DVCPRO 50 actually consist of a luminance block, a dummy block, another luminance block, and another dummy block (plus the same two chrominance blocks).

 Workflow With Panasonic HD and Final Cut Pro HD
To put this in perspective, if we had gone the direction of a hi definition capture card, working at "uncompressed" resolution capturing through HD SDI, we would have had to handle files with data rates exceeding 100Mb/sec, as opposed to the mere 5.5 Mb/sec of this new route.
When working with DVCPRO HD natively in Final Cut, the dimensions of the format are 960x720.
This is because the DVCPRO HD 720p format always plays back and records on tape at a constant rate of 59.94 fps (unless the hertz setting for the camera is changed).

 Dv & Dvcpro En El Mismo Timeline - Comunidad Macuarium
There is no compatibility between I-Link and older Panasonic IEEE DVCPRO interface terminals, however the new AJ-D455 IEEE interface allows it to transcode to and from DV SP mode or DVCam playback or record and DVCPRO, so one could transfer DVCPRO or DV SP mode into another DV VTR.
Most DVCPRO decks and Sony decks will not support the mini-DV 80 minute SP mode/120 minute LP mode mini shell tapes, however, some of the newer DVCPRO machines will play them and it is consequently encouraged to make a copy onto thicker tape as the thinner 80 minute tapes may cause problems.
It appears to be converted to DV in a friendlier I-Link interface to allow native support of DVCPRO playback through I-Link on the DSR-1500A, however, the audio may not be supported.
