Send to Playback for a Mixed-Resolution Long GOP Sequence
 
In most cases, all media used in the sequence must be available in the target resolution to start an STP operation.
However, when you select a Long GOP resolution as a target resolution, you can mix media of different resolutions if the frame rates match. For example, if the target resolution is XDCAM-HD 1080i, you can include both XDCAM 1080i clips and DV25 411 NTSC clips in the same sequence. Both use an actual frame rate of 29.97 fps.
The DV25 clips do not need to be transcoded to XDCAM 1080i before the STP operation begins. For Long GOP sequences, any necessary transcoding takes place during the STP operation.
