  • Kona2 HD-SDI and Ultimatte realtimeHD rig…

    Posted by Drew on October 5, 2005 at 6:13 pm

    Ok. So I can connect my Varicam directly into the Kona card and capture perfectly. I can capture with the 1200a perfectly. The Kona Card out to the deck is perfect as well. Here’s the problem. If I run everything as I should through the Ultimatte hardware the signal coming into the Kona looks as if it isn’t Genlocked? Under the Kona Control app it recognizes all signals accordingly and we have been setting it up using the input pass through, 720p 59.94, varicam TC, and making the REF the HD-SDI signal coming in. This all works with the camera or deck alone, but when introducing the ultimatte it all goes to hell. It looks like a mixture of both the Kona2 card and the Ultimatte rig.

    HELP? or i’ll get fired.

    Is the Control Panel set to Ref or Input Video? Your description was kinda ambiguous. If the U card does NOT have house Ref input going into it, then it it would act kind of like a 3/4′ playback deck or vhs [no house sync], so the K2 card reference would require Input Video as sync ref. This is my edjikated guess.

    Also, call or email AJA — they’re damn good at following up.

    Yeah I called and it wasn’t on their end. We finally got it working correctly. Seems the Kona and Ultimatte HD only like one another on a certain SDI port…so I guess I will stick with that.

    Thanks
