ioHD doesn’t “officially” support XDCAM EX???

[Ron Frank]

The graphics generally come from photoshop and brought into FCP as a high quality JPEG or photoshop files. I’ve also generated graphics using FCP’s title generator. All were rendered in the sequence and still exhibit the video tearing.

The rendered sequence file format has been both XDCAM EX 1080i60 (35VBR) and/or 1920 x 1080 Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).

As mentioned earlier, FCPs video output has been matched with the sequence (in both my MacBook Pro and my MacPro).

Hope this answers your question.

Is the tearing showing up in the canvas of FCP as well or just on the ioHD output?

The canvas is fine. No tearing.

[Jeremy Garchow]

Any chance you can post a picture of it?

If you are absolutely sure everything is matching (timeline and output) and fully rendered, then I would uninstall, restart then reinstall the ioHD drivers. Make sure the firmware updater runs (it should automatically) and that the firmware is up to date for the ioHD.

Also, check your waveform and vectorscope to see if you’ve brought in graphics that are simply out of gamut in luma (brightness) or saturation. Photoshop works in RGB…that colorspace does not neatly overlay rec 601 or 709 and out of gamut signals will cause havoc on video displays.

I’ve been working with the AJA folks on this, and they are going to send me a replacement unit to see if my current box is the problem.

I’ll let you know the results.

Thanks to all who have been responding to this.
