Vegas will read the DNxHD codec... though it might be pretty slow. (So I probably should not have suggested that.)

What about transcoding everything to a format that Vegas would handle?

e.g. quicktime photoJPEG (not prores because that's not on PC)
AVI Cineform (but you need that encoder??)
Avid DNxHD - ?

Don't convert to 1440x1080 interlaced.

They will likely feed a 1920x1080 signal over HD-SDI into the deck (and the deck will internally do the conversion to 1440x1080). Check what editing system...

You might get jagged edges depending on how you downconvert your material.

The MPEG2 encoding may also introduce stairstepping.
