Vegas 5 and XPRI

So for the most part Vegas remains a DV25 editor, no support for DVCPRO anything, no support for Sony's DVD cameras or MicroMV not even a mention of HDV. But we do get the ability to record from the new J-H3 via 1394 and full EDL support. So we can edit DV proxies even in 24p.

Hmmm, so I could shoot on a CineAlta, offline in Vegas and then online in.....XPRI?

That would seem to tie Vegas's future very much into the Sony fold and its plans for the future directions of video / film. Does this explain why Apple seem to be leaning very much towards Panasonic lately?

Not a criticism or a comment really just trying to see where we're headed in the next few years, might be nice to see a comparison chart between Vegas 5 and XPRI. I'm quite interested in what XPRI has to offer but don't find a whole lot of hard facts on the XPRI site. Not that I'm ever likely to afford such toys but would be interesting to see how things mesh.

OK, I take some of it back, I see from the COW site they have Vegas 5 running with the Decklink card at NAB, hmm. That's the most interesting bit of news so far, well apart from the improvements in DVDA.
Well OK, VIDEO CONTROL surface, maybe?
Hang on, now the thing could really start to look like an XPRI.
