Hardware Downconversion – Multibridge & Kona
Hi!
We need to upgrade to HD and were planning to get a Multibridge Extreme. Since we need to do frequent downconversions from 1080i PAL material to Pal and I read about the issues with the software downconversion on the Decklink cards, we are a bit unsure of which way to go. (We have a Decklink Extreme at present)
The Kona LH also supports hardware downconversion and I wonder how this compares to Blackmagic hardware downconversion on the Decklink cards and multibridge.
Can anyone shed light on this? Or do we have to get a Aja standalone downconverter in order to have high-quality downconverts?
How long does downconversion take in After Effects?
Kind regards
Georg

[Georg Misch] “The Kona LH also supports hardware downconversio”
Actually, the Kona 2 does, but the LH does not.
The Decklink HD Pro supports hardware downconversion.

actually both of my konas (kona 2 and LH) do 10-bit hardware downconvert on the fly. very high quality too.
you might be confusing the kona 2’s ability to do on the fly 10-bit upconvert which the kona LH does not have????
