How do you upconvert with Kona2
I’ve got a couple of shots that I need to upconvert from DVCAM to 1080i. I can’t figure out how to use the upconvert feature of the Kona2. I can upconvert on the output but I can’t do it on the input. What am I missing?

you upconvert on ingest through SDI. if you dont want to rent a deck, you could even use an SDI card on another machine into the kona 2 or 3.

[uncompressed] “you upconvert on ingest through SDI. if you dont want to rent a deck, you could even use an SDI card on another machine into the kona 2 or 3.”
I’ve gotten that far. I’m coming into the Kona2 SDI from the deck, but I haven’t figured out where the upconvert happens. I’ve changed my settings in FCP to match my “destination” resolution 1080i but I just get a blue screen. When I change the capture settings to the native input 525i 29.97 8 or 10 bit uncompressed and can capture just fine.

open the Kona Control Panel, and you will see a graphic representation of the upconversion. You can try this thru the Kona control panel without even opening up FCP, to make sure it works for you.

OK it’s working now and I don’t have a clue what I did to make it work. I swear I must have tried to do this a half a dozen times today with no luck. Oh well on with the edit.

many times, like now, you are busy and don’t have an understanding of how this stuff works, and just don’t have the time to figure it out. When you get time, sit in front of your system, let your SD VTR play, and SCREW AROUND with all the setting in the Kona Control panel. up convert, down convert, play with the analog out section, play with the control section. Make mistakes – try to break it. See all the silly things that happen when you click on the wrong position. This will make you much more comftorable, when you are in a real session, and something goes wrong.
