Do I need a Kona card instead of a video card upgrade? PC CS5.
I have limited budget at this time. Enough for one card or the other and I am getting conflicting answers so I want to bring it to the editors… Thank you again since this is a follow up?
The post house sent me footage ingested in AJA 10 bit uncompressed from a Teleciny in ’93. 3;2 pulldown, interlaced, 525 line in MOV. format. In properties the Data rate is 27.2 mb a second. I spoke to the builder of my system and they recommended upgrading to a Nvidia 4000 from my current NVIDIA Quadro FX1700 since I am having issues with seeing the titles jumping and some jagged edges on shots with angles. DO I need a Kona Card instead since that would directly handle the AJA injest or will the 4000 take care of it? I am looking for a price point under a grand so probably the KONA LHe Plus.Again I appreciate your time and experience in this!

what does the footage look like when you open it with quicktime?
hit clover+I
what does it say the codec is?
by the way you describe it sounds like a low-quality downconvert
from 720P to DV footage.the data rate should be a heckuva lot more than 27mbps if its uncompressed.
If thats the case, no card upgrade will solve that.
They will need to provide you with a high quality down-convert
with uncompressed codec. Not DV. -
Here is the information on the clip. Thank you again!
Format: Ajav210, 654 X 486 Millions
24 bit integer (Little Endian), Descrete-0 48,000 Khz (4 times for each audio track)
Movie FPS 29.97
Playing FPS – varies + 1 or -…
Data Rate 228.37
Normal size 655 X 486 Pixels
Current Size 655 X 486 -
that is uncompressed (228 data rate)
I’m puzzled by the odd size of 655×486
does it look the same (bad) when played with quicktime player (not from premiere)

I see heavy interlacing. These were from the D2 from a 1993 Teleciny. I am puzzled by the size as well since everywhere else the clip is listed as 720 X 486. The Aspect ratio looks normal as well. When I try to get it to play in my system full res it does not work at this point. When I pull into a sequence it is obviously down converting and causing the issues.

maybe open in quicktime and save as ProRes or some other codec
