  Kona Lhe- Edit to Tape to DSR1500AP via SDI problem

  Posted by Eugene Constable on October 31, 2008 at 3:18 pm

  Hi,
  Am trying to do an insert edit from Final Cut to a pre-striped DVCAM tape (using DSR1500AP)
  I want to go out of my kona LHe card into the deck via SDI
  When I perform Insert Edit, final cut starts the process fine, but soon my DSR deck says:

  “Input video signal does not synchronize with reference video signal.

  Use common ref signal.”

  It then stops recording.

  I simply have the SDI Ins/Outs from the Kona LHe cabled to the respective INs\OUTs on the deck…

  A colleague tells me that SDI carries its own sync signal so no need to get a blackburst generator, is this true? If so how do I lay stuf off to my DSR using edit to tape and avoid this “not synchronize” message?

  Thanks,
  Eugene

  [Eugene Constable] “A colleague tells me that SDI carries its own sync signal so no need to get a blackburst generator, is this true?”

  Yes and no. Your deck has to be able to select the incoming video signal as sync. If not, you need a blackburst generator and you will ser your deck and KOna to external reference.
