OT - Teranex Upres Samples???
by Wayne K 123. on Dec 11, 2007 at 10:44:33 pm

Hi,

Despite my best attempts to Google, I can't find what I'm looking for.

I need to demonstrate to my team how the Teranex system successfully upresses 4x3 SD footage to HD.


So I'm looking for video and/or image samples of before-and-after shots of the SD/HD footage.


Has anybody come across any samples of the Teranexs's work and can you direct me to a link or two?


Thanks in advance,

Wayne
PS - [I know a Teranex upres is not as good as shooting HD, but our project uses a ton of SD stock footage we need to upres]

Do you mean also stretching it out to 16:9? I've not seen anything like that. It's going to stretch out just as if you did it with FCP.

If you're just trying to go from 4:3 SD to Pillarboxed HD, then the Terranex is fine.

As for samples, not sure where to look other than the Terranex website for shows that use the tool.

Simply turn on TNT HD.

Well, if you watch Blood Diamonds on History Channel, that is FULL of DV, VHS and betaSP upconverted. I can't post links to it or anything.

Thank you all for the replies.

I'm not in the US so I can't view the shows you've mentioned.

Shane, wasn't Blood Diamond the show you worked on?

How would you describe the job the teranex did?

Yes, I worked on that.

We used the Terranex to up convert all the DV and VHS and BetaSP footage. Well, not ALL the DV footage, as there wasn't too much. Some use used Compressor. BUT, what we did was make select reels, used the terranex to upconvert and convert the frame rate from 29.97fps and 25 fps to 23.98 fps (we had some PAL footage). It looked GREAT. Just watch the show.

It isn't available on iTunes though...but Andrew Jackson is...
