Blackmagic Decklink Extreme – why no 1080 25P
Just curious, I have a job that was recorded at 25P but the only setting I have is 1080i 25hz…
theoretically it should be fine right? but it does introduce fields when it playsout…

Hi Justin,
It sounds like you’re doing a down conversion as you’re using a DeckLink Extreme card. This means that your 1080/25PsF HD will be coming out as PAL which will be interlaced.

sorry, I have a multibridge extreme… trying to bring in 1080i 25PSF image into FCP

Hi,
Use the 1080i50 Easy Setup, then go into Sequence Settings and set field order to “None”.

so does that mean when we playout it will playout as frames instead of fields as well?
thx Kristian…

[Justin] “so does that mean when we playout it will playout as frames instead of fields as well?”
That’s correct. By turning off the field dominance option in Final Cut Pro, you get frames instead of fields.

thx again Kristian, I have been having an issue where the second field of every frame seems to lift black values, this might have inadvertantly Solved that problem…
