Frame Rolls
Hi All
Just set up a FCP sytem on a Quad G5 with a Kona LH card [using the latest drivers] and have a problem with frame rolling from a composite input. I’m digitising from Pal VHS using the KONAs standard 625i DV capture setup and keep getting an intermittant frame rolling problem. The KONA manual says a REF is not really needed but I’m wondering if that is the problem. The frame is not rolling either on the tape or on the monitor that has a another direct line out from the VHS
I have altered the PAL rez in the capture settings from 100% to 25% and didn’t think that would make a difference. I’m currently doing a test back at 100% to see if there is a change.
When I’m not in capture mode and the tape is playing through into the source window it rolls there as well which made me think it was a KONA prob.
To make things more interesting the audio goes increasingly out of sync by 1 to 2 secs on long digitizes. I suspect it is becasue of these frame rolls. Weird thing is when I set up a H264 codec capture set [I now know it is not a good codec for editing] there were no sync probs.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Danny

Sounds like you need a Time Base Corrector!

You’re not supposed to need one with the KONA. It has one built in.
