    720p 23.98 to 1080i 59.94

    Posted by Eric Crowe on June 28, 2007 at 4:14 pm

    I’m wondering if the Blackmagic Decklink Extreme card can do a cross conversion with 3:2 pulldown during layofff. Basically, I want to take a 720p sequence at 23.98 and layoff to a 1080i HDCam tape at 59.94.

    Thanks!

    I don’t think it will.

    BlackMagic doesn’t really “support” 720P.

    Those words were uttered to me directly from tech support some time ago
    which makes no sense if they provide easy setup.

    You can hardware downconvert 1080i to SD and it works great on the multibridge, but it only does 720 to SD in software and looks awful and unuseable.

    You can also hardware downconvert 1080i and 720P on ingest to SD, but they won’t put in a 720 to 1080i cross conversion feature like the Kona 3.

    I really wish they would just implement that already.
