Upconvert Quality Question – Teranex Mini vs. Kona3
Has anyone noticed a significant difference in the visual quality of the upconversion provided by the Mini vs. the Kona3?
I have K3, I’m wondering if it’s worth getting the Mini too.
Not looking at frame rate conversion, I know that’s a whole other deal, best left to the “heavy iron” of Alchemist, etc.

[Tim McLaughlin] “Not looking at frame rate conversion,”
That’s a big consideration. What format are you going from and to?
-
My main use for a Teranex Mini would be to upconvert BetaSP or DigiBeta to HD.
If I was doing major frame rate conversions, I’d send it out.

1080i? 720p24? 720p30? 720p60? 1080psf24? to combine with other already shot HD?
-
For digibeta to HD you don’t need anything more than the K3.
For BetaSP to HD, it may be worth getting a Teranex Mini for the extra features like noise reduction and better deinterlacing.

Did you ever buy the Teranex Mini? I am interested in the same kind of upconversion and would like to find out if the mini was good at that.

“the teranex mini does not do 24p/ 25p content.

Dear Gary
This is a late question, but when would one need SD 25p to HD 25p? These days?
However, the point is worth mentioning, that even if you don’t need that workflow, I often need to convert HD 1080i to HD1080p. Which the teranex clearly can’t do.What would you recommend as the next best solution?
thanks
