    multi-clip green flashes

    Posted by Roi Turnoy on February 18, 2010 at 9:46 am

    Hi there

    I’m working with XD-CAM EX 1080p25 on a multi-clip sequence.
    After a while I’m starting to get green flashes on the canvas and on the viewer, and when I’m pausing the widows stay green.
    On my external monitor the picture is fine.

    easy setup is: Blackmagic HDTV 1080i 50 – XDCAM EX 35 Mb/s VBR
    Sequence Prefs: 1920X1080 – XDCAM EX 1080p25

    MacPro 2X2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    6 GB 1066 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 512 MB
    Internal Raid 4TB
    Blackmagic DeckLink HD Extreme 3

    Any Idea how to solve it?

    Thanks
    Roi

    There have been reports of a green flash having to do with sync on location.

    By any chance did your production team use tri-level sync? If so, was there wired genlock to the cameras or did the cameras use internal sync after jam-syncing? Was there genlock at all?

    Sometimes it may be a simple as a bad cable or connection from a lock-it box.
