Attack This Workflow

[Chad Brewer]

Rafael, I did not understand your post, “pero, dulces suenos.”

Thanks to everyone that contributed input on this workflow.
The Kona 3 can do a lot of things. I have two of them. With this scenario, full blown Teranex hardware is the only option unless you want the film lab to reject your video tape because of frame artifacts like ghosting, interpolation, soft picture, etc. I’ve heard the Snell & Wilcox Alchemist HD doesn’t even do 23.98.
We did a DV 29.97 output from FCP through the Teranex with reverse pulldown to HDCAM 23.98. It looked really good as expected, but we did find ghost frames and the edit points were softened as we’ve seen before in this specific upconvert from DV to 1080 workflow. Now enter the insane realm of the fully optioned Teranex VC300: It has video over film cadence tools. Once correctly configured, all artifacting of ANY sort was gone – even for this crazy 23.98 DV upconvert to HDCAM mastering.
This box really can turn apples in to oranges. Ever need the highest quality up/down/cross convert? Call me.

Hi Chad,
I wrote that I would conform the DV footage to 23’98, the upscale it with the Teranex.
But how to feed the Teranex with DV PAL re-comformed to 23’98?
No sense.
