Re: ?? DV down convert from EX1

Thanks. I have tried advanced format conversion in compressor, takes about .5 realtime with no aliasing or frame control filtration. Gives The DV NTSC converted footage a little aliasing to my eye. Used XDCAM dropped into a DV NTSC timeline in FCP 6 and it seems to have similar results but is pretty much real-time. Used flicker filter and anti aliasing filters and get render-ville. Not practical for a client walk away shoot, where they are asking for DV. I can capture via HD-SDI to DV with Black Magic HD extreme and that may be a workable solution using down-convert on capture via Black Magic HD-SDI. This requires the Mac workstation and not the laptop however so it would not work when traveling. This would probably be a workable solution about 85% of the time. Unfortunately, I believe Black Magic does not ingest time-code via HD-SDI so if the TC was logged in the field the notes would be made with non matching timecode. Any ideas are welcome.
