| Jul 30, 2013 at 20:05 | comment | added | Mattc0m | I agree regarding the framerate, and I'm able to get the laptop to output to any of the ATEM Television Studio's supported HD resolutions (1080i50, 1080i59.94, 720p50, 720p59.94). 720p59.94 is just a preference. The issue more lines when I get an NTSC signal (525/29.97) that needs upconverted or if the video feed I'm getting is for some reason not working, I have video conversion that can take pretty much any video input and give me a workable output. The only issue w/ UpDownCross is it relies on SDI, and would like HDMI input/output as well (if we have a prosumer camera as a video input). | |

If you get any of these, you should be able to match the output of your laptop to it. The UpDownCross converter will work to upscale their resolution so you can send a higher quality feed. As far as frame rate, you'll get best results by matching their frame rate, even if it is more or less than you'd prefer, rather than interpolating unless the final output won't cleanly support that frame rate. | |
| Jul 30, 2013 at 19:44 | comment | added | Mattc0m | Basically, I can change the laptop output to anything from 1080p or 720p, 50 or 59.94, but it would still require conversion of the video signal. Even if it's just a possibility of getting a non-working signal from an A/V company, it's still a possibility I'd like to avoid. | |
| Jul 30, 2013 at 19:43 | comment | added | Mattc0m | The issue is more of taking the A/V company doing video conversion out of the loop. In one particular instance, the A/V company was running an NTSC signal over an SDI line to their video convertor, which supposedly was upconverting to 720p/59.94 and giving it back to us. I was getting no signal from this. Eventually a second box showed up, and it worked, but I'd like to just leave as little of their equipment in my setup as possible. The only workable signal I could get from them as NTSC | |
