  Down Convert DVCPRO-HD 720p to Mini DV/DSR-11 through Kona

  Posted by Pierre on June 28, 2007 at 2:43 am

  I’m trying to take HVX-200 footage (which is currently in FCP sequence) and lay it off to DV/DSR-11 through my Kona 3.

  Can’t get it right. There is only a component out on the kona and only a standard RCA (yellow, red, white) on the DSR 11. So if I hook the Y/G/CVBS from the Kona up to the Yellow RCA on the DSR-11 all I get is the picture in black and white.

  What am I doing wrong?
  help please

  Your deck doesnt have component connections.

  It does, however, have S-video. The Kona can output s-video, but you need to buy a special BNC to S-video adapter cable.

  [John Pale] “The Kona can output s-video, but you need to buy a special BNC to S-video adapter cable.”

  why not just have the Kona output Composite video?
  you can set the analog to composite video and then use the “Y/G/” connection for the video into to your DSR 11

  What Gary suggests is easier and cheaper, but S-Video will give you a slightly sharper image.

  If you are unhappy with the quality…think about getting the cable, its not terribly expensive.
