Black Burst Generator and Strange Glitchy Output
Hi,
I have two questions, not necessarily related but hopefully the Horita BSG 50 can fix it.. maybe?
The project is on FCP 7 and I’m trying to output to multiple HDCAM tapes with the same timecode
The first issue which I’m not too sure about is… how do I connect the Horita correctly to the HDCAM Deck ( Sony HDW D1800 ) . Right now I’ve got it connected to the Ref in on the Deck with 75ohm switched to ON. When I do ‘Edit to Tape’ the frames slip but the image looks fine. Shouldn’t there be a connection from the Video source as well?? sorry.. really confused..
The second issue is … When I do ‘Print to Tape’ without and without the BSG 50 the display on the deck while printing looks fine but on playback the video looks completely green and very very glitchy.. not sure if this because of no genlock or some other hardware issue??
My system specs are –
Mac OS X
V 10.6.3
Processor 2 x 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 6 GB 667MHZ DDR2 FB-DIMMFCP 7.0.3
Blackmagic DeckLink HD Extreme
Sony HDW D 1800 Deck
Hope someone can guide me through this.. Thanks guys!!

Are you sending a reference to your Decklink card as well? Both the card and the deck should be getting the same reverence. I don’t know the drivers for the Decklink but make sure that the card is set to receive External Reference if thee is that option in the menu.

Yes had connected to the Ref in of the breakout cable.. and I think did not set the card to receive the signal. Will check that out and update..
Thanks 🙂

Sorry for the late update!
Had connected the Ref in of the Deck and the breakout cable with the Black burst generator. Double checked and checked the correct option in the Blackmagic preferences.. but no luck..
Also just found this! has anyone used this method?
