  • Up rez Sd to HD

    Posted by Amir Abed on May 3, 2009 at 1:11 pm

    The company I work for uses Quantel and it handles mixed formats very well. Since everything we broadcast is HD I need to up rez any SD I get. I do this by bringing it into QFX (its like AVID FX) and click 1280×1440 in a drop down and render. Its that simple.

    My question is do any Avid products up rez as easliy? And if not how do I up rez an unexpected SD clip when I’m working in a HD timeline and how do I up rez a SD timeline when I get an unexpected HD clip?
    Also I’m trying to decide what system to buy for an editing company that does broadcast work. Any suggestions?

    Under the “format” pulldown in the project window, you select the current “mode”. If you are working in an HD project, and you need to capture an SD clip, you go to that pulldown and change to SD. Capture your clip and return to HD mode. When you cut that clip in the timeline it will fill the HD raster side to side which means you will have to drop a reformat effect on to get the aspect ratio proper.

    If you are on a Symphony, that is all you need to do. If you are on Adrenaline, you ned to transcode your timeline to DNxHD before you can output.
