[Graeme Nattress]

Yes, in hardware – that’s what Grant told me when I discussed it with him at NAB.

[Graeme Nattress] “Both Decklink cards and AJA cards do this, but AJA call this “Accelleration” which I find a very poor choice of words,”

I did a test with and without a kona card when this first came up last fall and I actually did find that the cards handling of the scaling did add one additional track of 720p material to my timelines (2.5DP / 4G Ram / 2 T fibre array / using the DVCPROHD codec)
