J30 and RS422 – probably for walter

[Walter Biscardi] “It’s digital information so I’m not sure how an SDI signal can be better on one machine over the other.

I’ve never had a project kicked back due to any issues with image quality from anything captured via the J3. Take that for what you will.”

Hi,

The way it could be worse is that the decompression from DigiBeta to SDI Uncompressed. The J series converts multiple formats to uncompressed SDI and so the Digibeta conversion might not be as good as a higher end deck with chips that only do Digibeta.

In terms of projects being kicked back that is a different issue. He didn’t say the quality was bad. Only that comparing the quality on different decks it was less.

Best Wishes,

Mitch
