  • 1.  Carbonite Multiview in 720p is soft not sharp like 1080

    Posted 04-15-2023 12:56

    So for the longest time our truck has only produced events in 1080i.  We have a client that wants to shoot in 720p.  When we tested it on our Carbonite Ultra the camera's and gfx in the multiviewer windows look VERY VERY soft.  When in 1080i they look sharp and normal.  The TV's we are using for MV are Sony Bravia 4k's and when inputted with a  4k signal they look great so it doesnt appear to be the  TV.  The actual pgm output of the 720 set looks normal so it's just the multiviewer.  Any ideas or work arounds??

    The MV is operating in the same Format as the switcher.  So When you are in 720p operation the output of the MV is 720p and thus the Monitor is upconverting 720p to 4K resolution on the monitor.

    10-4 Thank you.  Turns out the TV up conversion was great for 1080i but very poor for 720.  A side question.  Is there a reason you cannot down convert one of the outs from 1080i to 720p?  Or is there a workaround besides standalone gear?

    Thank You

    There is a limitation when in an Interlaced Mode and having to scale down and de-interlace.  It's not possible to offer that.

    However ... you could run in 1080p59.94 and convert all inputs to 3G :) and then down convert to 720p on the output..
