Flashing on screen during analog capture

Andrew,

Can you post more details about your gear setup? We cant seem to see the problem you’re describing, so we’ll need more details about the setup you have there

Deck?
XENA Model?
Other connected gear? Monitors, reference, etc?
Also, details about the computer you’re using would be good as I assume youre no longer using the system you have listed in your profile with a Canopus card…..

Thanks for the reply…

Sorry I should have included these details.

System details:
IBM PC – Intel Dual Core P4/3GHz 2Gb RAM (Matched Pair Samsung)
Custom built system inc.
Gigabyte GA-G1975X-C Motherboard
Xena LSe Card
Silicon Image SATA Raid Controller
960Gb SATA Raid 0 Array (Media Drive – 3x320Gb Drives)
Primarily aquire via Xena LSe card but have a SD-Connect for firewire capture if needed.
Sony PVM9041 Monitor
Contour Design Shuttle Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro V2
AJA Software 2.6
(System working well and quite stable)

In this particular application I am caputing live analog vision/audio from an outside broadcast feed and not using a deck. Not using reference and set reference to free run because production area located remotely from OB facility. Getting a reference feed is not easy in this application. I am live capturing conference sessions to edit content and produce session DVD masters for a client. Recorded images all ok just the monitoring on the PVM monitor flashes or flickers at top half of the screen. Looks similar to when you used to pause a betacam machine. All was ok under AJA software V2.5.

Thanks for the help

Cheers

Andrew.

Andrew, what resolution/framerate are you using? NTSC or PAL?

Hi.. I’ve tried both Quicktime and AVI capture at 8bit and 10bit PAL. Flashing still present on the monitor whatever format I seem to capture at. Recorded images are fine.

Cheers

Andrew.
