  1700 Deck Upconvert (follow up)

  Posted by Blake Calhoun on February 9, 2006 at 1:38 am

  Anyone acquainted with the Panny 1700 HD deck know how to get it to upconvert 720p24 to 1080p24? I’ve gone through the manual and see it mentioned as a capability, but no where does it say how.

  If you switch the deck system to 23/24hz does it “auto” upconvert the 720p24 footage?

  I’m digitizing into a 1080p23.976 Avid DS project and I can “see” the footage, but I’m having trouble knowing if it’s correct or not (partly because the DS won’t capture right now – still trying to figure that out too, but that’s for another forum). 🙂

  Thanks,
  Blake

  Hi Blake,

  Please take a look at Page 80 of the AJ-HD1700 Opertations Manual and you will see you can change the System setting to 23/24 from 59/60. Do that. When you do, the machine will automatically convert the 720p/24 to 1080p/24 on the output HD-SDI. This is really 23.98 Psf. This same function is also available on the AJ-HD1200A in the System menu.

  Incidentlally, if you playback AG-DVX100 or AJ-SDX900 footage acquired at 24 FPS, you will get the same result, only up converted from SD to HD.

  Good luck.

  Excellent! Thank you for the info. I was hoping that was the case. I’m back in the edit suite on Monday and will give it a try.

  Thanks again,
  Blake
