HD Caputre on Decklink – Edit/output on Kona LH
My question is simple. A post-house uses a 4:4:4 Decklink HD Capture card. We’ll use it to capture 4:2:2 1080i50 HD PAL footage to then be edited on a Kona LHe machine.
Are there any issues with the codecs here?
As stated we’ll be doing 4:2:2 1080i50 HD 10-bit footage.

What codec will you be using is the question? I would test it first, but if you are using the same codec as they plan on using you should be fine.

Yes, this is the whole question! =)

Okay, there’s different uncompressed 10 bit codecs, including ones from AJA and Blackmagic. If they are truly using the Apple uncompressed 10 bit codec, you should be cool. You need to ask them which codec they are capturing too and then we can go from there.

Exactly! This is the $1 000 000 question =)

Okay, who’s “a post house” with the decklink? You or them? Then you say that “we’ll be capturing” does that mean you are capturing off of the tape using the decklink, or are you editing with the LHe?
Either way, if you both are using the Apple 10 bit uncompressed codec, you’ll both be farting through silk, as my mom always says. This means you’ll both be fine. If you are using some other codec (such as the 10 bit LOG AJA codec) there needs to be some more configuring.

No, I said “We’ll use it [the Decklink-card at the post-house] to capture 4:2:2 1080i50 HD PAL footage to then be edited on a Kona LHe machine”. The capture on a Decklink – we edit on a Kona LHe.Either way, if you both are using the Apple 10 bit uncompressed codec, you’ll both be farting through silk, as my mom always says.

Yes, this is my whole question! 😀 So both cards CAN use the Apple 10-bit codec even in HD then? Thank you! 🙂 -
I can just say that this DID work like planned. Decklink HD in 4:2:2 talks Kona HD 4:2:2. Very nice. All is gooooooooood! 🙂
