  FCP downconvert capture problems

  Posted by Marc Istook on March 9, 2009 at 5:30 am

  I’ve searched the threads and haven’t found an answer for this problem yet.

  I’m trying to capture from an HD DirecTV box — 1080i HD footage into a DV FCP timeline.

  On the Kona Control Panel, I have the primary format set to 525 29.97. Secondary is set to 1080 29.97. Downconvert is set to ‘anamorphic’ — exactly how I want it.

  My control panel is showing the input at 1080… then the downconvert icon… then the framebuffer at 525.

  In FCP, in the log and capture box, when I set the capture input to one of the AJA 1080 presets, I see the video just fine. When I switch to AJA’s DV option, the video catches and repeats a single frame — unusable.

  Am I missing something here? Is there a setting I’ve overlooked?

  Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

  Thanks,
  Marc
