  reference video w/aja kona and uvw-1800

  Posted by Mark Fason on January 14, 2006 at 11:59 pm

  i’m outputting hd 720p from fcp 5.0.4 to a sony uvw-1800 beta deck through my aja kono and was wondering what to do with my black burst generator. i noticed the ref. loop on the aja board and i looped the black burst signal through my beta and out to the input on the aja board. everything seems to be fine except when i monitor off of the beta deck the video starts to roll after a minute or two. when i’m done laying off and play the tape back through the same monitor everything looks fine.
  any help would be appreciated.
  thanks,
  mark

  Don’t loop your reference back to the Kona. Put the black into the ref in of the 1800 and then flip the termination switch. Connect the ref in of the Kona to another output of the black burst and set the reference to ref in in the Kona control Panel. This should get rid of the roll. The roll only affects monitoring and the image will go down to tape successfully as you have witnessed.

  If you only have one output on your blackburst, then connect it to the 1800, flip the termination switch to on and disconnect any other BNC coming out of the ref loop. Set your Kona’s ref in to freerun. This should work as well.

  jeremyg,
  that was the only thing i missed on the kona control panel and that did the trick. no more roll on the monitor.
  thanks for the response,
