Yes the up res-ing does indeed seem to smooth the mpeg encoding in the footage. The real hit is in storage. It requires a lot of space.
My system, a dual quad core handles it fine capturing to a dedicated raid. The only thing is it seems a little finicky. When I switch back and forth between the Matrox card and the infinity card. The captured footage has to be rendered and does not play in realtime. That is a pain. I stopped using the intensity for that reason. I hope that new drivers will come out that makes this thing work better. I do wish there was a better explanation on the available codecs for capture into Premiere Pro. |

Kristian, I have an email out to your tech support dept...when the Mac Pro goes to sleep, the card loses the handshake to the monitor (JVC HD CRT, through the component outs on the BM Intensity Pro) and won't reconnect unless I restart the computer. Worse, if I try to work in FCP with the board and the monitor not talking, it causes FCP to hang up and I have to force quit.
help?!

The real ? seems to be "Does capturing an HDV tape out of the HDMI port to a high quality codec give a better result than capturing an HDV tape out of the Firewire port to a high quality codec?" The answer seems to be "Yes." Last edited by Peter Moretti; August 6th, 2007 at 04:30 PM. |

If the answer isn't "they are the same", then one of them is poorly done. |

Do you know how audio is handled? When capturing live via HDMI, what sampling and bit rates come out? And when HDMI capturing from an HDV tape, the MP2 audio must be decompressed. Is it up-resed to the same sampling and bit rates that live HDMI capture stream out? Thanks much! Last edited by Peter Moretti; August 8th, 2007 at 01:15 PM. |

The audio in the HDMI stream is 48 kHz and 24 bit so it it is coming off tape, it will get resampled if necessary.
