Where you’ll see more than 10% difference (a lot more) is encoding very long programs 100mins to 120mins. That’s where the differences really kick in with fewer artifacts, less mosquito noise and sharper images.

At 15mbs CBR, I’d say there’s nothing in it. But even so, I still do a multi-pass (4x) CBR 😉 Call me superstitous! Where Cinema Craft excells in in multi-pass VBR. For software DVD encoding, I really think it is the best. Expensive, but good.

Yes,
Nearly all commercials in Australia are sent by FTP using companies like Dubsat. Transmission by the TV stations is via MPEG-2 stream so it makes sense. You profile is blank and I don’t know which country you are in, but that is how most production houses delivers ads these days here in Australia. The distribution company then sends the MPEGs out via satellite overnight, although if you pay for it, you can have an ad delivered to a TV station anywhere in Australia within a couple of hours.

Tele(v)ision Commercial. Sorry, probably an Australianism.

Sorry, beg to differ with the BS. If you do ads with blurs, graduated animations, slow dissolves or anything where there is a large difference in light-to-dark or a subtle chroma range like animation and underwater footage, you WILL see a considerable difference over 8-bit. This has been proven in countless tests and reports for years. Just do a search on Google for “10-bit versus 8-bit”.
Maybe you won’t see huge diferences on mainstream video material but if you have scenarios like I mentioned above and the edit has had heavy rendering/exporting/dubbing, then the 10-bit editing process quality will be reflected in your 15mbs TVC master. All our TVC’s are converted from a 10-bit BM export in Cinema Craft at 15mbs CBR and they look great.

I run dual Dell 2405’s and the viewing angle doesn’t worry me at all. Plus they are cheaper and have loads of interfaces. Dell also offer a return with no questions asked within 15 days if you don’t like it.

Thanks Shane, yes you are probably right. the down-convert option on my Decklink HD control panel is greyed out. I’m sure Luke said all the cards do down conversion. Oh well, time is short, bills to pay…

Yeah that 8-bit thing is a real pain. Otherwise it looks like a good deal.

Can I use this driver with a standard Decklink HD card?
