Aspect HD Conversion Internal Bit Depth
 

Does anyone know what level of precision the the conversion code in Aspect HD uses? This would be when capturing/converting in Premiere or HD Link or just converting in HD link.
I know the final output is only 8 bit but I would be surprised if the code worked at this level.

Also, how about the deinterlace and scaling algorithms - would I be better using After Effects for this or are they OK?
When I deinterlace DV foootage I seem to get a lot of posterisation/banding compared to just straight conversion to interlaced.

If you prefer AE they have nice algorithms, just not very convenient and slow. Most of the math performed in our filters and compression uses 16-bit precision integer SSE2 code per color primary.
