SD to HD up-res plugin

[rafalaos] “I’m sorry but i do not agree with you. I don’t mean that a Teranex don’t make a better job than Compressor or what ever application. I mean that if a Teranex do a better job is just because runs a better software than Compressor.”
No it has to do with the hardware primarily. The Terranex is a huge box with a ton of various boards so while it runs software, it’s also very much a hardware conversion that is making the transfer from SD to HD.
There’s a reason why a Terranex is over $100,000. It’s just plain good at what it does and the one thing it does better than anybody out there is SD to HD Upconversion. It makes DV looks like pure HDCAM material.

Just this week I blew up an iStock SD photo jpeg clip to 720p with Compressor, it looked completely perfect. I wouldn’t make a single excuse for it, you can’t tell it was uprezed.
Have a wonderful day.

Walter,
Once you are digital it dosen’t exist such a hardware conversion. You start with a bunch of bit representing YCbCr or RGB values and the only thing you can do with that are mathematical operations. With the correct plugin, FC could do the same think than a Teranex. Slower, OK.
The people of Teranex could write and sell the plugin, but then they would sell very little machines.
People say that the best MPG2 encoder in the market is Cinema Craft. They sell the software and the hardware. But they do not pretend than their hardware can do it better than their software. Just faster (MPG2 6 passes in RT).
IMHO, analog is all about hardware, digital is all about software.
And what you said about Panasonic and AjA makes a lot of sense.

I’ll agree that Compressor can do some pretty impressive work.

[walter biscardi] “I’m not sure if AJA worked with Panny on this, but even my reseller said they’re essentially the same boards in the decks.”
Acutally, that conversation wasn’t about upconversion, it was about capturing dv50 vs 10bit in SD.

Same here. If you start out with good material, and you tweak things properly, you can achieve very satisfactory results. I think it’s really starting to mature.
