  • Kona to Sonic SD-2000 Encoding Trouble

    Posted by Colin Reeves-fortney on May 3, 2007 at 6:23 pm

    Hi All,

    Been having trouble with trying to encode video. We’re running SDI out from either our Kona 2 or 3 cards into our Sonic SD-2000. There’s a non-sync roll on the footage after the encode. The Kona’s work fine when laying off to any of our decks. . And the SD-2000 works fine when we encode from tape, its just the Kona -> Sonic bridge that is unhappy.
    It’s just having a problem working through the Sonic SD-2000. If there’s any insight out there to this little problem it would be greatly appreciated!

    Maybe connect the same reference to the Kona and Sonic cards?

    This would be one of those “it makes sense” solutions. Unfortunately the SD-2000 doesn’t have a ref in. Which is why we’ve run out of solutions from our own brains and come to the vast knowledge of the cow.

    Aloha Colin,

    We have a SDI Zapex encoder and we run the SDI out from the K3 box to SDI in on a deck and then take the SDI out from the deck and hook it to the Zapex SDI in. You’ve probably already tried this, but it works for us. You should also be able to set the Kona Card to free run I believe and it should work.
