No PAL in Capture monitor
I’m having a problem with a Sony DSR11. I’m in an NTSC (60i) facility, with some PAL (50i) tapes. When capturing I have deck control, but don’t see a picture. The deck is self-selecting for PAL/NTSC playback. When I put an NTSC tape, everything works fine – whether I set Final Cut to capture PAL or NTSC, I still get a picture.
I duplicated the PAL easy setup, but no joy. Am I missing something basic (or at least basic to people who use PAL?)

You can not watch PAL content on an NTSC display or vise-versa,
just like you cannot watch HD on an SD monitor.gary adcock

I mean the FCP Capture Monitor window, which appears on the computer screen. It just shows color bars and says “Preview Disabled” . I can control the deck, and I can see timecode rolling. Again, not a monitor issue, I’m just working with computer monitors. When (if) the piece is edited, I will convert the finished piecem and then play it on an NTSC monitor.
