Blackmagic Design updates HD drivers to 5.1.2 

Blackmagic Design: Software Downloads

From their website's description:
DeckLink 5.1.2 for Mac OS X 10.4

31 October 2005

This release version adds: HD 720p to NTSC down conversion on all DeckLink models; HD cross conversion allowing 720p mastering to 1080i broadcast decks in real time on all DeckLink HD cards; Time Code Reader and Frame Count Display in Blackmagic Deck Control; gamma corrected output from After Effects; updated Apple Uncompressed 422 codecs; compatibility with QuickTime 7.0.3. Compatible with Final Cut Pro HD v5.0.3 (not v4.5).


Mike's Comments: 720p to NTSC down conversion is a LONG desired feature, so this is great. The ability to upconvert 720p to 1080i is nice as well (will it do 720p24 to 1080i60 on the fly, or only 720p60 to 1080i60?)

So good stuff.
