21) What are the SD output formats? Anamorphic, edge crop, and letter box,
selectable on the bottom of the HD-Connect LE™ or through the Control
App.
22) Does the box upscale the 1080i HDV from 1440 to 1920? Yes, using a
multi-tap filter for smoother scaling.
23) Is the video stream 8-bit or 10-bit resolution? All HDV video is 8-bit
resolution. Video is extended to 10 bits before transmission over HD/SD-
SDI.
24) Can the box perform frame rate conversions (50i
→
60i, for example)?
Yes, but we do not recommend this feature.
25) How does the downscaled video (SD) compare to the DV out of the HDV
camcorder? The downscaled video is definitely superior because it has
only seen one compression (HDV). The DV video has seen an HDV
compression followed by a DV compression after downscale.
26) Does HD-Connect LE™ work in true NTSC frame rates (29.97fps)? Yes.
27) Can I add color or gamma correction to the video? A firewire-based
control application is planned for 2
nd
quarter 2006 release, which will
include the capability to adjust colors, stretch the black levels, and
program a specific gamma curve.
28) Does HD-Connect LE™ support true SD (BT-601) and HD (BT-709) color
spaces? Yes, a color space conversion is automatically performed to
convert between the SD and HD color spaces as necessary.
29) How can I edit HDV shot with the JVC HD100 (720p) and Sony Z1 (1080i)
together? HD-Connect LE™ includes a cross converter (720p
↔
1080i), so
you can convert video into either format.
30) Does the box work with HDV camcorders from Sony, Canon, and JVC?
Yes, all three are supported.
31) How do I select the output format? Using the selector switches on the
bottom of the box, you can select the desired video output format. The box
automatically detects the format of the incoming HDV and scales the
video, as necessary, for the desired output.
32) What is the data rate of the uncompressed HD and SD stream?
•
1080i HD= 125Mbytes/sec
•
720p HD= 110Mbytes/sec
