  Multibridge Downconversion looks really bad

  Posted by Chris Borjis on July 11, 2008 at 11:05 pm

  I’ve got a multibridge extreme running driver 6.7
  on mac g5 quad os 10.4.10

  This unit has always done a good job at hardware
  downconverting HD to SD during capture until now.

  The video looks washed out and VERY soft.

  I got way better results setting the deck to do the downconvert to SD.
  the multibridge use to do a slightly better job at this.

  any ideas whats causing this?

  Hi.

  I think you should see sequence and project setings … something there might be off ?

  720p will be “softer”

  no, its definitely the multibridge doing this.

  captured footage looked at side by side is a HUGE difference.

  I also noticed during capture that the multibridge was not
  showing the downconverted footage through the pro monitor
  like it normally did before, just pink snow.
