Seeing Pro Res through Kona3 on Sony multiformat CRT, Walter?

[Rafael Amador]

Hi Paul,
Whichever the way you use to transcode your HDV footage to ProRess, you are going from a 8b/420 to a 10b/422 picture.
This process can be handle in different ways and with different results.
FC by default just will write the 8b values as 10b and I guess that averages the Chroma values to get the new samples needed in a 422 scheme. This won’t improve, won’t degrade your picture.
The AJA will do the same but not in the same linear way than FC. It will try to rebuild the chroma as it was before the 444 (422) downsampling. This chroma filtering will improve the look of your picture.
You can get a similar effect in FC applying the Nattress Chroma filters but the rendering it takes long in FC. With the AJA you have it on the fly.

[Paul Harb] “What I am curious about is your saying that the QUALITY in the conversion is better? “

Paul,

The loss you’ll actually suffer from the conversion is probably about as scarce as hen’s teeth, and the difference to the naked eye is about as hard to see pixie dust.

Let’s face it, we’re talking about a highly compressed medium already, which is all about the throwing out lots of information in a way that is essentially imperceptible. So, if add a few more bits of imperceptible data loss to the mix on typical HDV source material is that really going to rock anyone’s world?

[walter biscardi] “If you want two more, I’m selling both of my Sony CRT’s. Finally going LCD with Flanders Scientific.”

which model are you going with Walter?

I demo’d a cine-tal a few weeks back with an assimilate scratch system
and I was not impressed by the passive/active aspects (viewing angle)
