David,
Very good point and I have had that in the back of my mind. How will the downconvert with Media Manager compare with downconvert via the Kona card.
Also the client is only paying for a general color correction and not a scene by scene, so we are just evening it out. My video shader in the truck was awesome so we are really close to begin with. I just need to make sure that there is not a issue with it not being broadcast safe. Plus I think we need to letterbox the video going to DBeta tape since it is for braodcast.
I don’t have a DBeta record deck and sometimes it is cheaper to take a HD to a place that does and just have them lay it off.
