  AJA Io La workflow advice

  Posted by Tim Toidze on February 29, 2008 at 9:07 pm

  I just got an AJA Io La card and I urgently need to digitize a few Betacam SP PAL tapes (I will have them till Monday). I work on FCP and the desired codec is ProRes HQ (I have to provide a hard drive with the video in this codec).
  My problems:
  Well, first of all I want to have the best quality digital copy possible, so I want to be sure that everything is foolproof before I start digitizing.
  Second of all, I need the original Betacam Time-code and I can’t seem to get it.
  Third of all, I want to control the J-10 (I should be able to via Rs422 connection, but it doesn’t seem to work).

  If somebody can have a look at my workflow and say what I am doing wrong, I would be very grateful. Thanks!

  Sony J10 is connected to Aja Io La.

  Component:
  Y – Y/G
  R/Y – Pr/R
  B/Y – Pb/B
  External Sync – Ref Loop
  Rs 232 to RS 422

  ProIO Control Panel settings:
  Preset 1
  Video Input: Analog
  Video Input Format: Component (SMPTE/EBU N10)
  Video Format: 625i 25
  Output: Component (SMPTE/EBU N10)
  Composite Black Level 7.5 IRE
  Control: Ref IN

  FCP Easy Setup AJA Io La – PAL EBU N10 10 Bit Uncompressed

  Thank you,

  Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

  Regards,

  Tim
