  • black on digibeta stopped working….

    Posted by Chris Borjis on October 30, 2009 at 10:41 pm

    My digibeta DVW-A500 stopped being able to generate black internally.

    I usually black tapes not by sending black from fcp but
    holding down the SDI input button for a few seconds, then
    all 3 input lights go solid.

    its not working now…they won’t go solid.

    anyone know how to reset that capability?

    It’s a menu item. not sure what number, but it’s called “INT VIDEO SIG”

    Feed the output 3 (super) to a monitor and turn on character.

    Hit the menu button and navigate to menu #710, internal video signal. Set it to black, bars, etc.

    Menu #808 is the internal audio signal. Set it to silence for black or tone for bars.

    good luck.

    Hey Thanks!

    didn’t know about the audio silence, now I don’t have to pull out
    the knobs and zero them when blacking!
