Since on tape, a digibeta ONLY records 720x486 pixels, I am
making my first assumption that DS is also doing the same.
Yup.
Beyond that, what is different between the two project setups.
In a 16x9 project, I can see that in the viewing monitors on
the workstation output that the image is a correct 16x9
(not anamorphic). Fine. What about generated text?
ALL tools will behave at the alternate pixel aspect ratio so things look
correct. Graphics, DVEs, etc. all adjust themselves so they operate
correctly. Also (and this depends a little on your conversion settings) DS
is able to see the difference between different media and correct for the
aspect ratio difference when you use them - for instance a captured clip in
4x3 dragged into a 16x9 sequence.
I imported some footage from a 4x3 into this test 16x9 project
and DS seemed to scale it. What rules are used? What Scaling
method? Can I change the default if I need to (I already know
the answer to that, just bringing it up). And what happens in
the opposite direction (16x9 to 4x3)?
Scaling is determined by the media scaling sequence pref by default.
Scaling method has been revealed, I think, as bicubic but I'm not positive.
The only way to change that is to turn off scaling, and then apply a DVE
manually with whatever attributes you want. And lastly, the same thing
happens in the opposite direction, depending again on your scaling prefs for
the sequence.
