analog output levels

[Tim Kolb]

When you run out bars, is the pluge where it’s supposed to be, or does it center at 0 as well?

Tim,
Yes, pluge centers at 0.

What happens when you switch to NTSC-J?

Have you attempted to reinstall the drivers? Any changes to the system lately? Have you output before with proper black levels?

I assume you’ve confirmed the scope is calibrated.

I won’t be near my workstation for a while…so I’m trying to recall the Machina settings available…

I don’t think that pedestal is independently switchable…it’s attached to the setting.

Switching to NTSC-J does not change anything. In fact switching between the 3 settings, NTSC, NTSC-J and SMPTE does not change anything, swithcing to RGB blanks out my monitor (of course) so I know something is happening.
This is a new LHi install on a system that was running a different card. Nothing has changed in the suite except the new LHi and Nvidia card. I’ve had a lot of trouble getting the Xena to work properly, and have installed and uninstalled the drivers many times over a week, turns out switching PCIe slots made all the difference.
Scope is definitely calibrated, but I will double-check everything else in suite and make sure something didn’t get switched.
Thanks for the advice.

That’s odd…obviously the blacks should change between NTSC and NTSC-J.

Are you running CS4 or CS3?

If you are running CS3, can you put in drivers from one version back?

I worked with AJA tech support and they were able to reproduce the problem and confirm the bug. I don’t know if it is only LHi or all of the Xena line.
