Re: TC accurate edits during conversions

In our case it seems that 8 out of 10 down converts from 720p 23.98 to SD 29.97 Digibeta is a filed off. Instead of First Frame of Picture starting at 1:00:00:00 it starts a file late. I always thought this made sense since we were converting from an upper field format to a lower field format.
It's disturbing to hear that people are having this issue when doing a cross convert to 1080 29.97. Our same show that we down convert is also cross converted form 720p 23.98 to 1080psf 23.98 and we DON'T have the same problem. It's frame accurate every time. No field issue.
SD deck is an A500 and the HD is an HDCAM HDW-D2000. Locking to house sync 29.97 for the down convert and using Free Run in the control tab for HD outputs.
