Originally the D5 was an SD format, the D5HD format came later and is 
based on the same tape system.

It is fundamental to realise that video based on Rec709 is designed as a 
WYSIWYG system. The same is not true of telecine content which in my 
experience always looks wrong until graded.

I remember seeing one in the machine room at a post house in Melbourne and they told me it cost more than a house... but then again the same was true for Digital Betacam for a long time.
