Component Output 180º out on Capture

[Gary Adcock]

[George Parker] “But when ‘when’ capturing flesh colors are blue, greens are brown, etc. on the plasma”

so what do color bars via the kona Control panel look like?
if they are not correct – the plasma is connected incorrectly.

take everything out of the loop first –
if using component
the KONA Control Panel / ANALOG OUT setting should be set on SMPTE EBU/N10 for video NOT RGB.

All of your prefs were TRASHED when you installed the new software – you had something set up somewhere that is not standardized with other displays.

[George Parker] “I wish it was that “easy””

🙂 You know, I remember something funyn about 23.98 captures and the Lhe. let me see what I can dig up. I thought it had to do with adding pulldown, but maybe not.

[George Parker] ” But when ‘when’ capturing flesh colors are blue, greens are brown, etc. on the plasma.”

This is in RGB mode? or SMPTE?

[George Parker]

Hey, Gary.

Color bars are fine. Everything is fine off the timeline and everything except footage that is 23.98 that is being captured is fine. If I put the analog out into SMPTE everything is green. It’s not a huge deal, ultimately, since it’s fine once it’s on the timeline. More curious than anything.

Is your monitor set to input RGB? It should be SMPTE if it is.

Hi George,

I just want to confirm that I’m having the same issue as you do. The only difference is I’m in Europe so I used the ProRes 25fps easy setup. And, yes, I did use an easy setup without changing anything. The image on MacPro screen is fine during capture, only component analog pass-thru on LHe gets shifted. Captured file is fine. I just cross the component cables on patch-bay during the capture as a workaround…

After capture, do you then swap the cables back? If this is so, I’d call AJA.

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for asking, I do swap the cables back after the capture.

To tell you the truth, I’m from Serbia and swapping faulty card would be like 6 months endeavor here, so I just watch the vtr directly while capturing or go on a coffee-break.

I’m going to look at the captured material for couple of days during editing anyway so I don’t really need to babysit it during the capture. And captured files are perfectly fine. It may be just ProRes HD thing as I never had the issue with SD.

At the very least, email AJA and tell them of your problem. Perhaps it’s something that can be fixed in software.

You are right, I should ask them about it by email… that is easy even from here…

Thank You

OK. True once I changed my monitor to “component” instead of RGB then the SMPTE EBU/N10 setting on the AJA worked for everything except the same problem on 1080 23.98psf capture. So, I will query the folks at AJA. However, the last time a sent an email to support through their web support contact I heard nothing back.
