720p or 1080i TV Station? In either case, ProHD is for you. HDTV experts agree
that it is considerably easier (and less expensive) to cross convert from 720p
(progressive) to 1080i (interlaced) than the other way around. If your station is in the
1080i camp, then you would simply do all of your HD ENG acquisition and
microwave transmission in the ProHD 720p format, including the ingest process at
the station, but then convert to 1080i inside the ASI-to-HD Bridge and supply a fully
1920x1080i60 compliant HD-SDI with embedded audio and time code out of the
Bridge to your existing 1080i HD-SDI infra-structure. This converted 1080i will
blend seamlessly with your HD news set’s 1080i camera acquisition.
ProHD compatible broadcast-oriented Non-linear Editing Systems:
Fig. 11. The HD ENG material arrives at the TV station 3 ways:
(a) Live by microwave (ASI), (b) Recorded on tape, or (c) Recorded on
DR-HD100. Ingest is by 1394 or by HD-SDI. The brands featured here
(Grass Valley Canopus EDIUS, Avid NewsCutter and Apple FCP) are
just three of a number of turnkey NLE systems delivering HDV and
ProHD capable broadcast oriented workstations.
