Varicam to 1200a to Nitris workflow
I know this has been dealt with on many posts, but I couldn’t find a link that explained how to do it…
We shot a short on the Varicam and are trying to load into a Nitris. Shot 720 at 24 fps. The Nitirs wantsto have 1080 and we supposedly can “upconvert” on the 1200a deck to 1080.
a. Do we have to do this in order to load into a Nitris DS. (or can it somehow take 720)?
b. If we do, how do we set up the menu to make the 720 into 1080/24 so the machine takes it?
c. Should we just go with the 1700 deck?
Thanks,
Nick

n,
While I’m not sure about the Nitris’s capabilities (although it must take both 720p and 1080i/p) I can tell y7ou that the 1200A deck (with the SDI card) will output either!
Go to menu setting #632 (Video page) and change from the default setting to 0000 which will transcode the output to 1080.
No you do not need the 1700 deck, but you will need to be importing to a HD-SDI capable editing machine with enough storage to accomodate your project.
Good luck,
