Yeah right.... Go find a dealer that KNOWS what he's talking about, that single statement is nothing more than marketing talk. The XDCAM codec is quite different to HDV and there are pro's and con's to both the DVCPRO HD codec and EX Mpeg Codec so you cannot make such a sweeping comment. Besides if that really was the case then I doubt Discovery HD would have approved the EX for 100% broadcast whilst only allowing 20% HVX200.
