    HD 150 Letterbox mode Please help

    Posted by Viktor David on September 29, 2006 at 7:10 pm

    Hello,

    We are trying to output dvcpro50 footage via SDI in letterbox mode. Previously we were successfull outputing varicam footage via HDSDI in letterbox ( I believe menu 620-2). Is it possible to do the same with sd material. The machine has optional downconverter installed.

    Thanks,

    Vic

    Vic;

    If you play any DV, DVCAM, DVCPRO, or DVCPRO 50 tapes on the AJ-HD150, they will only play out in the same aspect ratio they were shot in, ie shoot 4×3 and ouput 4×3, shoot 16×9 and OP 16×9. There is no means of playng a 16×9 tape and getting a letterbox SD OP.

    Sorry,

    Steve Mahrer (Panasonic)

    Thanks Steve,

    With DVCPRO HD it was possible though. Thanks again
