Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Transcode to HD vs. Teranex

 

Noise reduction? Mixed cadence 3:2 removal? It would be great if you could post some examples of comparisons. I don't know if anyone has done that.

I am a "good operator" and very familiar with all of the options the Teranex has. Its up-scaling is surpassed by Adobe's.

The caveat is that Teranex has a lot of adjustment options. A good operator should be able to at least match if not blow away Media Encoder. 
Had to resize some SD to HD recently, and in a shootout between Teranex and this, Media Encoder wins by a long shot.

If you have Adobe Creative Cloud, use Media Encoder with "Maximum Render Quality" checked. Had to resize some SD to HD recently, and in a shootout between Teranex and this, Media Encoder wins by a long shot.

Don't bother with Avid's resize - it's generally terrible even on highest quality.

Hi Ben,

Teranex does a better job in general than Avid resize, but I don't know how much difference it will make on something coming from DVD anyway.

Hi Terry and L2 gang,

Question from a friend:
"If we capture from an SD DVD, which is better:
convert to HD inside of Avid or to convert with a Teranex before it goes into Avid?"

Putting the time difference aside, is there a noticeable quality difference in the end?
I seem to remember a discussion on this topic a looong time ago, and my recollection is that Teranex wins.
Am I correct?

Thanks for any insights Terry and L2-ers.

Cheers,

Benjamin
