[Tig] SD-SDI telecine out to capture device that will create DPX or similar files

[Andreas Widerøe Andersen]

Hi Ted,
We're using BlackMagic Decklink cards in our telecine facility (SD 
and HD). They run on both Mac and Windows. Framelink software is 
included that will generate DPX sequences from captured .avi or .mov 
files. You can capture DV, 8 bit or 10 bit and choose from several 
Codecs. The cards are not too pricey either. The HD Pro cards will 
even do 4:4:4 (4:2:2 + 0:2:2).

We're very satisfied with this setup.

Good luck!

Best regards,
Andreas Wideroe Andersen
