Kona 3 to UVW 1800
Hello,
I am trying to output to BETACAM SP, unsuccessfully. I have the Kona 3 breakout cable straight into the UVW 1800 deck. I am using the component connectors to output from the Mac and the RS 422 as the control.
When I hit print to video and start the deck, I get a no ref! message on the front of the deck.
This is the first time that I have exported to analogue as I would normally send it to a facility. Please excuse me if I have missed something glaringly obvious, but please still help 🙂
Many thanks
Peter

That deck has an override switch on the back, you can hit that, it’s next to REF input. Turn it either Off or On, can’t remember which.
If you have a black burst generator, feed that to the Ref In and to the Kona Ref In.
Are you feeding analog audio as well? Remember those XLR connections are AES/EBU, not Analog audio. You’ll need to feed the audio from the RCA outputs or via an D-A converter.
