    Having a problem with the Kona2.

    Any footage we capture has tiny (1pixel) random pink artifacts.
    This happens regardless of the source (SD or HD).
    The location changes as we flick between the same frames so its most likely an out put issue. Anyone else had and fixed the problem?

    Cheers,
    Linc

    Can you give us more system details? Computer, OS, decks, monitor, etc…

    dual 2 gig G5
    10.4.1
    FCP 5
    Kona2/K-box
    PAL digibeta DVWM2000P
    J-H3
    Sony LMD monitor

    Issue occurred under 10.3.9/FCP HD/and previous kona drivers.
    Doesn’t occur with Footage captured at 1080i
    all captured footage is actually ok as I’ve checked it on our decklink system which outputs without the artifacts.

    ok after much testing the problem occurs whenever the primary format is set to 625i25 if it’s set to 1080i the artifacting doesn’t occur.
    Solutions/thoughts?
