The situation is: these students have to deliver ProRes HD files of their
films for their 3rd year presentations. Some films were shot in HD (HDV,
P2), others were shot in SD. The SD ones have to be upscaled, the screening
delivery format is HD.
The most common workflow for them is to play the sequence back from
MC-Nitris-DX (so the Nitris DX does the upscaling to HD), then capture the
Nitris DX HDSDI output into the BMD-FC system. The upscaling of the Nitris
is pretty nice, nicer than when they export QT's from Avid, and better than
the upscaling in FCP-BMD.
The student in question followed the suggested path (Nitris DX -> HDSDI ->
FCP-BMD) and subsequently tried to compare the result of that process to the
unscaled QT he had received from the color correction house, and then a lot
of confusion occurred.
Whenever an application forces the conversion, how on earth can you tell if
the two match up? Yes, I know: scopes. So if the scope tells you that FCP
changed the levels, you just change them back? As I said, sounds like
rounding errors all over the place to me.
