That's correct. In 1080i HDV, it's always 1440 x 1080 that's written
to tape, no exceptions, although some camcorders have an imaging
system with less than 1920, or even less than 1440, active pixels per
scan line. A prime example of this would be the Sony HVR-Z1 series,
which has only 960 active pixels per scan line and uses a pixel offset
technology to up this to 1440 before writing to tape.
