High video level causing jitter

[Tom Brooks]

Kevin,
Not sure you’re still following this thread, but I did test the Kona yesterday and it’s picture perfect. As AJA predicted, anything I ran through it came out clean on the other end.

Lots of my video with high levels in it has the jitter problem. The jitter appears on one or two frames at a time. It happens on clipped blue sky shots and anything with a lot of white in it. One frame will have the jitter and the next will be steady. Using the color corrector, taking the highlight levels down one tick from 255 to 254 gets rid of the jitter. I don’t get what’s going on here at all. I even bought a new firewire cable but that made no difference. I’ll post this on FCP and see what I get.
