interesting -- the pdf is dated 2004 .. and Canopus's system is also called DV Station

the pdf clearly shows a shot of Vegas though ..

I know there are production houses which successfully use DV Station (the Sony one) with Vegas (Vegas for editing and finishing). But I have no contact datas. So I hope someone here might use it and could give us more infos about it.
It looks very interesting. There's an proxy browsing and storyboarding available using MPEG-4 files which will be automatically swapped with the dv files in the end before final editing.

Mpeg-4 is heavily compressed, so I have no idea why they would use Mpeg-4 as proxies. I can cut right through DV like butter but Mpeg-4 is way more CPU intensive I would think. Now this will drive me crazy trying to figure out how they accomplish what seems to be the opposite.

MPEG-4 is used for browsing and storyboarding only. This means very short loading times for the use over the network. Editing is done with dv then.
