  Getting 10bit 720p25 playing out as 10bit PAL?

  Posted by Alister Robbie on August 3, 2007 at 1:07 am

  I have been bashing about with this for a little bit now with no success.

  Is there any way to get 10bit 720p25 to play out as 10bit PAL in realtime as either anamorphic or letterbox? I see plenty of options for doing this via 1080i but cant find anything certain for 720p.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Cheers

  Try FCP 6 software down conversion. It should work with 720p25 to SD.

  But I hope you don’t want to use this for mastering, just for preview!

  Better quality is achieved by the Kona 3 or Kona LH, realtime hardware 720p50 to SD down-conversion. The 720p50 mode is used for 720p25 as 720p25 does not exist as a SDI signal.
