JVC BF-HD50 deck issues with Kona LHe
Not really an issue with the Kona since it seems to be working fine but thought I would ask if anyone in this community has had a similiar experience with this deck.
Working on only our 2nd project with this system and half-way through logging/digitizing we lost video output out of the JVC BR-HD50 deck.
– FCP 5.1, G5 Quad
– Kona LHe w/2.0 drivers/control panel
– Analog out of deck connected to analog in on the Kona
– HD100 JVC 720/30p footage, using the Kona LHe to downconvert on the
fly to a 8-bit SD uncompressed FCP project.Was working fine then we lost video. At first thought it was the kona, fed SD beta sp in to Kona analog ins and no problem. Kona control panel does not indicate any video/format coming in with a tape playing with the HD50.
Hooked up the camera/HD100 analog outs and no problems, all works as it should. No problems with the Kona with HD or SD coming in.With the HD50 on capture all screens go black with some flickering of green. Hooked up the composite out of the deck to a monitor and while you can kind of see the display and/or menu it is flickering like a bad horizontal adjustment.
Tried a SD DVCAM/DV tape in the deck and still no luck.
Called JVC Pro-Support and the tech said it indeed sounded like the deck and to remove power for 30-45 minutes to reset. Which we are waiting on now. If that doesn’t work he said to contact my dealer.
Very frustrating!

I’d contact the dealer for sure if it suddenly has stopped working … good luck
