Feature Request: Downconvert 720p 23.98 to NTSC
To the wonderful people at Blackmagic Design:
I’m sure you’ve heard it before, but it would be really, really nice if the Decklink cards could downconvert 720p 23.98 to NTSC (with a pulldown).
Thanks!
RussPlease add a post if you too would like to see this feature added soon!

So you are saying Decklink HD will not downconvert a 720p project
to SD for output to a DigiBeta for instance? This isn’t clear in the
marketing on the Blackmagic site. I’m in the process of deciding which
company and which card to buy going from our SD setup, and this would
be an important feature.Thanks,

It currently downconverts 720p 59.98 to NTSC, but does not downconvert 720p 23.98 to NTSC.
For me, 720p 59.98 to NTSC downconvert is useless because it contains the duplicate frames from the
Varicam. When I edit, I remove all of the duplicate frames and edit natively at 23.98fps or 29.97fps.Now Blackmagic Design has been great updating new features. This post isn’t meant to bash them at all. I’m just hoping to get this feature updated sooner than others because it is much more useful to me.
