The DVD player adds 7.5 IRE setup on output. Come to think of it, that’s likely one cause of your problem. US televisions are designed to display images with 7.5 setup for NTSC. Computers have 0 setup, as they’re displaying pure RGB. Cards such as the Kona and Blackmagic make this adjustment for output over SDI. Your DVI connection does not, as it’s designed to plug into a computer monitor. If you were looking at HD, which also has no setup, you’d likely not have this issue. With NTSC (i.e., standard def, as in a DVD) you most definitely would.

That is the ticket. I knew it had to be something like that.
I just received my Kona LH and I send the video to a Pansonic BT-LH2600W studio monitor and it looks great. I knew there had to be a change in the middle.

Thanks for your help.
