Hyperdeck and interlaced PAL recording codec ?

PostThu Apr 04, 2024 6:47 am

What is the recommended codec when recording SD, interlaced PAL, on a Hyperdeck (Studio HD Mini) so that interlacing is preserved for later fixing in Resolve ?

The ProRes and Avid DNx codecs should all preserve interlace - h.264 may be a bit trickier - I've not tried it on a HyperDeck (though the h.264 codec can handle interlaced fine using three h.264 encoding routes - separate fields, PAFF and MBAFF)

I mainly use ProRes HQ and have had no issues capturing interlaced 1080/50i HD content from HD-SDI live sources, and 576/50i SD component stuff from DigiBeta decks. All stayed perfectly interlaced.

You really don't need ProRes422HQ for SD 625 lines (576i) I'm using ProRes422LT to capture SD from an analog source,
the source does need to provide a stable signal, Only the Studio version of Davinci Resolve can de-interlace if needed
btw. what is your source ? the Hyperdeck only has SDI input, no analog input...
Intensity Shuttle, ATEM Mini, Video Assist 5"(mini USB), Hyperdeck ShuttleHD,Analog to SDI mini-converter, software: Davinci Resolve 15 on Sierra, Resolve 18 on Catalina. (Using Apple OS 32 & 64 bit on different MacBook Pro's
