Prospect HD and Blackmagic cards? at DVinfo.net

Alex Raskin · May 20th, 2008, 09:57 AM

I'm currently doing ingest with BM Intensity and Aspect HD, under Win XP.

Aspect removes 2:3 cadence on-the-fly and records 24p avi live from HDMI input. Beautiful. This is the functionality I'd like to preserve.

1. If I upgrade to Prospect HD/2K, will it do the same thing?

2. If I keep Aspect but upgrade to Intensity Pro (analog inputs), or Decklink HD, or Multibridge - are these supported?

3. Is Prospect HD/2K configured to ingest from the same cards as in # 2 above?

Thanks.

Alex, HD Link, which ships with all CineForm products, supports the same card set with the same CineForm pre-processing features (such as telecine removal). The only difference will be the spatial resolution recorded which is a function of the CineForm encoder license.

Sorry if I missed it, but Cineform website does not specify exactly which card models are supported.

Does it mean that *any* Blackmagic card, HDMI or SDI, is supported?
